Must be cold today
He’s sat on My knee four times
He’s just come up again
So at least one knees warm!
Oh! he’s just jumped down
Cold knees!
New paintings and regular art updates.

Medium cat (left) and large cat (right) like to sleep on this chair. Usually there is a single occupant, but tonight they are sharing. The little cat is on the floor just exploring to find somewhere to settle down.
I’m glad they tolerate and cope with each other, the small cat is nervous and sometimes has a paw raised to her, but there’s very rarely a squabble and usually they chase together to pay. I think I will go and settle down too. I’m struggling to keep my eyes open, the cats have the right idea. X

He snuck out you see…
Didn’t come back
For two days
I think he has a pad
A place to sleep
When he wants to be bad
Then I don’t see him
Which makes me sad!
Usually he comes back
Soaking wet
To have a wash, grub,
Then off again!

He purrs, he sits, cheek rubs my hand.
Paws outstretched.
Then one paw reaches out to me.
A greeting, saying are you OK?
Cats know when you need love
They express feelings, you can see it.
Little nudges of his nose against my hand.
He will sit on my knee soon.
Looking after me.

It was warm in my bedroom last night, so my cat who usually sleeps on the floor next to my bed must have decided to sleep on the windowledge where it’s a bit cooler. The ivy and buddliea growing outside help shade the stairs landing. I need to cut it back but it will be costly. Meanwhile the cat snoozes happily.

Oi get out my way!
I want to go to bed.
I know the cat sat on the mat,
But you are way to fat
Just move out of my way
I don’t want to trip over your head
Or get downed by your paw!
Just move off the floor!
You’re a trip hazard….

She came up to greet me this morning, and I could see she was happy. Almost smiling, definitely purring. Her eyes half closed. I love her black nose and her black chin. I had to take a photo. Crazy cat mom, that’s me.

You’ve got to sketch them
Black and white cats
They gang up on you
And beg to be represented.
Make us handsome and beautiful
They miaow at me.
So I scribble a sketch.
Thank you they say.
That’ll do!

The cat is back
Happy and fat
Sleeping on my chair
I guess that’s fair
So here’s a simple verse
That things had been worse
Now they are good
The cat? He’s my bud!

My female cat likes to drink from the tap. Not in the kitchen, but in the bathroom. I guess she likes the running water. Sometimes she gets on the sink and drinks from the tap (faucet) there.
Cats are strange. They have their own purrsonalities. They can wrap people round their paws with ease. They are beautiful, graceful, clever. I like dogs, but I could not give one the exercise it needs. Cats are able to go off into the world and use their skills to play. I know they are predators but they are not always bad. I love them.
