Happy outdoor cat, indoors

Since the middle of winter our outdoor cat has come in every day, and most nights he sleeps at least a couple of hours on the bed. He’s a big cat, and waking up with him lying on your chest is a bit startling. Then he reaches out one or both front paws in a gesture of trust. He’s not very keen on being touched. His nose has been scratched by other cats several times (no real animosity between him and my other two cats though). But he’s well fed now and you can see he’s greatful… And he’s like skippy the Bush kangaroo (a reference to a 1960’s kids TV programme…) he points at things. He looks at his bowl when he wants food, the door if he wants to be let out, but more than that, his body language communicates, and if I tap somewhere on the bed with my hand he will go there… And being touched by his paw on my hand is so sweet.

Put your paw out, say hello….

Come and get warm

Please don’t go

Cats are friendly

When you know

How to love them

Snuggling so.

Outdoor cat update

He sleeps on the bed

I get up to let him out

I get up to let him in

I have to move my legs

To give him room

I get up to feed him

I love him

How did that happen?!

She balances on the sink

Waiting for a love

Looking beautiful

What a face

How can I resist?

But she’s ready to pounce

Her brother is on the floor

Clash of the cats

Tripping me up!

Learning to illustrate means playing with different techniques. Both of these are black ink. One is just using a black calligraphy pen and the other a fine liner pen and a calligraphy pen. The top is called ‘what’s for tea?’ and the second is a tiny ‘cat teapot’.

A strange thing to paint, it’s a bag of cat litter. Just quickly painted, I’ve been busy for the last couple of days and just remembered to post this. I tried to keep the watercolours clean and not to make them too muddy….

I can’t sleep, so I don’t dream, on the hour every hour, I look at the alarm clock. Tick tock, tick tock. Put the radio on low sometimes. The murmur might send me to sleep, but then it wakes me up if there is serious news or something interesting. Having a cat move in doesn’t help. He wants to go out at odd times. Yowl, miaow, he wakes me up. So another night goes by…

Cats paws

Muddy feet

Climb up high

Then go to sleep!

Cheeky face

Whiskers, ears

Looking down

Gives me cheers.

Tidy cat

Fun and bounce

If not happy

Prone to flounce!

I’ve drawn a cat on a window ledge in front of a net curtain, its black and white and drawn with Autodesk Sketcher app and ArtRage app. But when I’ve tried to change the image size wordpress is saying media not found, so this image may not show up on the post… I’m publishing it these what happens…

Another black and white cat?

If you do a line drawing of your cat and you want to fill it in with colour, you don’t have to use black. I’ve used green and red as complementary colours. It’s a very quick sketch and it’s meant to capture the cat without over working it. I think even a little experiment like this can send you off in a new direction.
