A Persian Tom.

Don Giovanni- no joke. That is really his name.

Oh, and WordPress hiccuped, so this didn’t get published on Tuesday. Instead, it has been “Pending Review” all week.

Something a little different this week. This is a mixed media piece in ink, watercolor, and pastel, instead of the usual oil.

Oh, and it’s our new kitten! She’s only four weeks old, so we’ll be adopting her in another month to two months. Cat names I think you really have to get to know the personality, but for now I’m thinking maybe Toblerone is a good name.

What’s black, white, and cat all over?

That makes no sense, but it’s OK. Things don’t have to make sense on Cat Painting Tuesday.

This is Julia’s cat, Zoe.

Cats are wonderful.

So are pedicures. I had my first one on Sunday. I could not resist getting them painted although I insisted on a “Boy Color.” As well as a flower because gender is just a construct and I do not like to be limited.

My ginger army. Of cats.

This Tuesday we go out of the realm of mythology and instead I present to you: Bookstore Cat.

I seem to have a knack for finding cats wherever I go, and last Saturday was no exception. We were in Normal Heights looking for a dresser- which we did not find- but we did find a used bookstore. I think it was called 4th St Books. I do not know why all the businesses in this city have such literal, dull names.

The bookstore was completely insane since it had just reopened after renovations and none of the books were alphabetized yet. It was also jam packed with 12 foot high, floor to ceiling bookshelves. My head was spinning from all this while trying to find the usual suspects I always look for at used bookstores- Euan Uglow: The Complete Paintings, and anything by Diana Wynne Jones. Anyway, I rounded a corner and almost jumped out of my skin- this giant ginger was leering at me from a high shelf. Needless to say, I had my camera at the ready.

If this was my cat, I would call him Chairman Meow.

Here we are on Tuesday, GLORIOUS TUESDAY, our favorite day of the week.

Last week, of course, we had the celestial benedictions of Ceiling Cat, and what would be Yin without Yang, Light without Dark, French Deconstruction without Structuralism, Apple without Google.

So here, at Chris’s request, is Basement Cat. He’s on the almost bottom shelf- there is only one thing more evil than him in this house and that is the “multifunction wireless printer” – aka- zero function piece of junk. Meow.

Tuesday again! Since Nick asked, here is a Persian.

I stuck him up on the top shelf, since Ceiling Cat belongs near the ceiling.

It’s Tuesday, and you know what that means. Yes! Cat paintings.

I imagine this wild-eyed kitty would be called “It” or “That Thing.”

A new, killer feature on this blog is a weekly cat painting.

This one is called Mrs Marmalade.
