Purr-atchoo!
Caught mid sneeze
Made me laugh
What a wheeze!
She’s only little
Sneezed three times!
Fast as a flash
From my camera
Sweet, neat, cute.
New paintings and regular art updates.

What is good about having a pet?

When I’m feeling down and lonely
The cat will come to me
He jumps up for a little love
While sitting on my knee
He gives comfort when I am low
Dispels my sadness you see
That little cat who is my pet
Is my truest company.

Caught in a yawn, the cats are all in as my neighbours on both sides have both had bonfires. I’m rather annoyed. The closer neighbour had a very smoky, smelly fire, it’s meant the clothes on my line will need washing again. The one further down the road has a real blaze with black smoke billowing up from it at the moment.
I think they are burning an old tyre? I actually rang them up because there was nothing, then suddenly a whoosh of flame. I guess they poured some petrol on their fire? It frightened me and I was going to ring the fire brigade. I thought it was unattended but then I saw a shadowy figure through what’s left of my hedge after they hacked it back on their side!
So I’m stressed as I don’t want the cats to get hurt and the local hedgehogs may have been burnt 😢. Stay Safe X

Sleep little cat
Enjoy your rest
Tomorrow you will be at your best,
Having a prowl
Look at that owl?
Seen by moonlight
Stars ever so bright
Having fun and delight
During the night,
So rest and take your ease
Enjoy it, if you please. X

I have so many cat ornaments dotted round the house. Some were gifts others I bought for myself. This is not a good photo of this white cat, but I like the way it’s legs are stretched out like a lion, or a sphinx. If I decided to get rid of some of my cats this is definitely one I would keep.

Through no fault of my own.
We shared out cats
One loved him more
The others me.
Now they are mine
Cheeky, funny, cute.
Being berated by a foreign candidate
Feels like a slur or insult.
I don’t want to speak
But I do object
To the mysogeny!

A cat moved into the warehouse where we held out art and craft show. It has a home in a local housing estate but I guess because the warehouse is heated it’s found a place to visit. The main problem is there is a ladder up to the loft space and on Saturday it climbed up and went to sleep!
There was a panic because they couldn’t lock up the building until it was found. Luckily someone bought some cat treats so it came down!
What have you been working on?

Nose to the grindstone
Getting ready for a small stall
At a craft fair
First one in months
I’m shattered!


I wanted to use photodirector to play with my cat images, but the option I’ve been using for months seem to have been removed. I could paint how it would look, but it would take too long to sort it out. I hate it whan this happens. A system functions perfectly well but someone decides to “enhance” it, and takes away the best bits. Really annoying!

I drew this in the 1980s I have it on the stairs and it’s badly faded. I might use filters to try and restore how it looks? It’s sad when you have created something but the sun destroys it over time. I don’t know if you can buy ink that is resistant to sunlight? Maybe?
