On Staying Composed

Different Points of View

A New Way of Speaking

Sitting about on the ceiling

The human says it has been practising its 3 point perspective. I hope, reader, you do not think this is our house. I would never allow such practices as you know. I dont know how the human came to be on the ceiling of this building, but however it was, it would have been better employed taking steps to have this kind of thing stopped than sitting about on the ceiling doing pictures.

By the way I saw the human cheating and using tracing paper. It knows nothing of 3 point perspective as anyone who has watched a human try to catch a mouse will know.

Excuses

 

The human has been somewhat elusive of late and gives its excuse for this as "christmas" whatever that is. Whatever it is, it seems to entail frequent visits to "out". It often announces that it will be home all day at some point in the future but this rarely occurs and by the way I do not consider going to the vet together to be quality time especially as I was feeling quite well and not in need of medical attention.

 

This is quite annoying a it means I am left to rely on humans 2, 3 and 4 who, whilst friendly enough (except for no 2 who is dangerous and cannot be trusted), are not as quick on the uptake as no 1 human who is quite domesticated at this point, staring through the wall at it from another room being usually sufficient for any requirements to be attended to.

 

There are some indications however that "christmas" may soon be over so I am hopeful of more attention and a decent fur brush in the near future.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On The Nature of the Arts

For some weeks now the human has been struggling with a painting of black birds under a bridge at night. This is an excellent example of the human tendency to make life difficult for themselves. Cats of course would never do this. It is also inconvenient for me as the human is unavailable for most of the day and although there is bubble wrap available in its studio this would  mean having to listen to its terrible music which it plays in there. I have also noticed that fur brushing has been decidedly lacklustre of late.

Cat art is, of course quite different from human art consisting as it does mainly of performance and happenings. In this respect of course we are, unlike humans, playing to our strengths. Appreciation of cat art among humans is, as you may know, generally low and they often regard it as somewhat controversial. 

I have noticed that the human was taking some photographs of its painting today which is encouraging as this is often a sign that it has given up trying to paint whatever it is. Usually there is a lull then before it starts trying to paint something else.  hopefully I will be able to get a decent fur brush before this happens.
