New paintings and regular art updates.
Facing a long wait. The vets are busy and only have on clinician on duty. The people who were here for 2.30 are still waiting at 3.15.
Our cat must have been in a fight, he’s got a big lump on his face which is below his eye. Cats are prone to abscesses and they can burst on their own, but it’s important to get it checked out especially since its so close to his eye.
Anyway I hope he will be alright soon. Wish him luck. X
Peeping out, watching the traffic, avoiding dog walkers, he sits and waits for us to get out of the car. Then he’s on the doorstep waiting to come in for his tea.
My other cats have their habits too, my little queen stretches up and claws my knee every time she says hello. I always say ouch, but she’s not bothered. She won’t stop. Just a friendly miew…
The other Tom likes me to Stoke his head, all the way down his back to his tail, as I reach the end his head comes back up again for the next sweep of my hand, over and over, 20 or 30 times…
The three of them are so loving. I enjoy their company. X
It’s hot, and the cats have come into the living room to enjoy the breeze from our oscillating fan. They won’t sit right in front of it but are off to one side so they can feel a bit cooler. I’ve got the back door open for once after dosing myself up with hay-fever spray. Usually the windows and doors stay firmly shut but it’s hot AND humid tonight. It’s rained for a bit so that’s cooled the atmosphere slightly. Meanwhile the cats just decided to mooch off somewhere else xxx
Reflected pink stains my cat
He’s happy to sit and purr
He poddles his paws and stirs
The cover. Pink throw
And green throw,
And purple cushion.
He sits and fits
well in the space
But soon he’s gone
Off on a mission
Nuzzling bees
Climbing trees
He’s a big cat
Not fat
Just jolly…
I tried to add a pattern underneath my kitty because he carpet he is lying on was dark and you couldn’t make out the outline easily. But I couldn’t finger paint around the cat very easily. Still I did an OK job. I wanted to add a black and white pattern to this photo of one of my black and white cats.
I love cats , they can be good companions and they are not as aloof as they are sometimes portrayed. I used Houndstooth check which seemed like a good choice. I should really try doing this in photoshop but I’m too tired to fire up my PC.
Sweet, hot cat,
Belly showing
Asleep in the heat
Paws poised to poddle
And knead my hand.
Belly rub time.
Purrs emanate loudly
He is content and happy
An electric fan
Wafts cool air over him
Purring and snoring
Asleep. Dreaming.
Our big cat has a runny eye. He’s been diagnosed with conjunctivitis. The problem is that the first lot of eye drops irritated his eye and so we have been back to the vets for a gentler treatment. We have come back with an ointment for his eye and liquid antinflamatory drops to add to his food as he can’t have it on an empty stomach.. Now I’ve just got to catch him twice a day!

My sweet
Jubby lue!
He came in to sleep
Curled up, paw over nose
Relaxed, snoring
Sweet curves and purrs
Paws stretch,
Twitch and flick
Ears turning fast
What does he see?
In his rushing dream..
A do not disturb sign
Needed to let him sleep
Six years ago, the other girl cat and one of her brothers.
Facebook memories is great for reminding me of things like this. All four kittens went to good homes. I’m pleased with the contrast on this, it looks like an old painting. X
