New paintings and regular art updates.
Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?
If I could I’d be a cat
Eight meals a day
But still not fat
Treats on demand
From my owners hand
A bed in each room
For me to groom
And fall asleep
Warm and comfortable
Under the table
Or on the windowledge
Watching nature
Then outside
To chase leaves
And hide.
Oh you rascal!
I can’t move..
Pinned down
By my cat!
On my legs
Just out of reach
Inscrutable stare
Always there
When I wake up!
Now I’m stuck
But you’re so cute
I forgive you
You’re neat
And sweet!
Tuesdays #bandofsketchers prompt was supermarket. My cat loves sleeping on a supermarket canvas shopping bag. It’s better for the environment too I think?
For the first time ever our big cat sat on my hubby’s knees! He as an abandoned cat and we have looked after him for five years. Gradually over that time he has become more appreciative of being stroked. He used to just sit on the chair arms between us, but now he’s venturing further. He’s a sweet cat, and he’s very big, but very gentle. He will tell you when he doesn’t like something. He rarely likes being lifted up, but he’s much calmer now. He loves his food and he’s quiet around our other two cats. I love them all….
Plonked down
on a bath towel
On a mat
There’s the cat
In a basket snug
Like a bug in a rug!
Paws over nose
Or tail across his face
They will find any place
To snuggle
Or be cuddled
Sleep 16 hours
Glad he’s ours!
Two cats on the sofa. I used my photodirector app to change and enhance the texture of the photo. The two cats rarely sit together so it was nice to see them being so calm and friendly to each other. I think relaxation is the main reason for cats!
Oh you sweet cat
One belly rub required
To make him happy
But beware the claws
That protect his tummy
From your intrusion
Be careful
Or you may lose your hand!
The cat came in and plonked himself down to sleep in a quiet place last night, partway up the stairs! He settled down to snooze, which was fine, but at bedtime, he was in the way. However cats have pride of place here, so because there was room to put a foot next to him we let him be. Then during the night I had to come downstairs a couple of times. He was still there, curled up. Luckily he has a white band across his back so I could see he was there. This morning? Still having a kip. I gave him a couple of cat treats which he ate. We are letting him be, I checked and could see no injuries so he must just be tired. X
Yes, we have three cats
Hungry, playful, cheeky
Are not their names
Sometimes together
Sometimes apart
Chasing each other
Loving toys
Liking treats
Eating catnip.
Hiding in, under, on.
Jumping, climbing, causing
Fun and trouble
Things, found, battled
Played with.
Equipped with claws and teeth
And purrs and growls
Formidable felines!
Nine lives!
I do love sharing this painting of one of my old cats. It’s about twenty or twenty five years old. Just after we moved to our current house. She used to love sitting behind the flowerpot at the top of the stairs. By the way the weeping fig grew to five foot tall before we had to rehomed it because it got too big for the space in the kitchen where it had to be moved too because it got too big for the windowledge. Thank goodness the cat didn’t grow that big!
