Cat time

Posted on July 9, 2022 Posted in Cat, UncategorizedTagged behaviour, Black and white cat, Cat, Fun, Learning, Playing, Thinking, Time, Tuxedo catLeave a comment

Cat time, time for your cat. To love them, feed them, play with them, let them ignore you, hide from you. Disagree with your choice of food for them. Accept that sometimes they will bring you unwanted ‘presents’. They go away for a few days, just so they can worry you. Eat your food off your plate, ignore the toys and treats you get them. Sitting in empty boxes so you can’t throw them away.

When your cat friend scratches or bites you it’s probably because you have been a bit heavy handed or frightened them. It’s always better to be gentle. Remember that a cat is probably a fifty or hundred times smaller than you! They have interesting and intelligent abilities, it’s good to find out about them. X

Outside

The cat sits outside

In the dark

By the door

Looking at me.

I call her in

She ignores me

Her head starts to move

But not to come in.

She’s watching a moth

She’s sitting on the pavement

As cars drive by

Calmly watching

Flitting moths.

I shut the door

Give up

She’s happy.

Soft

Today’s #bandofsketchers prompt was soft. I decided to draw a mad soft tortoiseshell cat. It’s just imagined so it might be a bit deformed in shape! Felt pens again..

Wind blows

Wind blows

and cat knows

Which way the wind is blowing.

Bird flies

And follows

The wind southwards

To find a home to brood

It’s young chicks.

Cat looks North

Bird comes South

May they miss each other

In the windy sky.

Cat coming in

Head up, he sees me. Murrup, purr, miaow he says in greeting. Coming in for a bit of food and a drink. Sometimes he sits next to me and reaches his paws out. Just touching my hand on the arm of the chair. He’s saying hello, I’m here. Sometimes he curls up between us and goes to sleep. Then another cat comes in, looks up lovingly. This one jumps up on my knee and starts kneading and poddling with sharp claws. He settles on my leg next to the big cat, he’s medium sized and slightly older than the first. Finally she comes in, claws up into my leg, stretching and yawning, a little nervous around my hubby, dodging his hand but then head butting mine. Three cats, love them all.

Linocutting

I’m going to do some cards using this linocut for a craft fair I’m thinking of doing. I wonder if this is to quirky and should I try different colours. Perhaps gold or bronze instead. If I also get envelopes it might make an interesting card. I hoe cat lovers will like them.

Wet cat

Like a stone hung from a chain, I can tell the weather by our cat.

Wet cat, it’s raining

Cat looks white, snowing

Cat covered in white dots? Hailing

Cat hot to the touch? Sunny

Cat in a cloud? Foggy

Cat with hair on end? Windy or angry!

OK, silly post! I wrote it because the cat just came in and he’s as wet as an otter in a stream (exaggeration)! ❤️

Poddling cat

Two front paws kneading my leg ‘poddling’ making little holes in my skin. Like I’m a mother cat and he’s comforting himself and wanting to relax. It’s so sweet that he does this. He does this every night before he goes to sleep on my lap. That’s when he settles down with his eyes closed and starts purring even more. I feel loved. I know cats can be pests sometimes, but this one is soft and friendly.

He sleeps on the floor

Next to the couch

On the edge of a throw

Curled happily

Asleep near my feet.

Cats choose to be comfy

Snuggled up in a ball

Wherever they want to

Relaxed and sweet.

Digital drawing I did ten years ago. I’m not sure which website I drew it at. I think there are still some sites that allow you to draw independently, but most seem to be limited in what you can do, like editing photos or colouring in areas, or making patterns. I looked online but the types of site seem to be quite limited. If you know of any site that I can draw on let me know? (I’m also mainly drawing on my phone so the memory I can use is limited).
