It’s very cold this evening with a sharp easterly wind so Husb and I are cwtched at home in front of the telly with cats on laps. I’ve been colonised by little Ming the Merciless, who is easily one of the scruffiest cats ever born. She draws blood when we try to brush her soContinue reading “Scruffy Kitteh”

Ciaou Miaou
Greetings bald monkeys. Sparta Puss here. I have taken control of the pooter box while the apes are out. It’s been a while. The monkeys play with their pooters all the time. Anyway, lots been happening since I last addressed you. I’ve been hunting loads of rats and bringing them in and throwing them atContinue reading “Ciaou Miaou”
Cat ‘n’ Cheeses
I spent a busy morning at the print workshop, making a small edition from a photopolymer intaglio plate for the excellent Leftovers IV. It’s a little portrait of Sparta Puss, my furry feline felon. When I got back, I settled into my comfy chair with a modest cheese sandwich and a mug of tea forContinue reading “Cat ‘n’ Cheeses”
The Old Rocker
Feeling better day by day and went out for lunch with Husb to a local cafe, which does really nice home made food. I looked around for someone to scribble and saw this very elderly man, in his eighties, dining with some friends. His hair, although thin, was down almost to his shoulders and overContinue reading “The Old Rocker”
The Cat And The Hat
Ming The Merciless spends most of her time on top of the boiler in the kitchen so she doesn’t feature as much as Sparta in my sketchbooks. But this evening she cwtched up on the footstool, shoving my feet out of the way, so I put Husb’s hat next to her and did some scribbles.Continue reading “The Cat And The Hat”
Manthrax And The Kitteh
I’ve got the dreaded lurgi! I hate being ill and I’m every bit as miserable and whingeing as the stereotypical man with ‘Mathrax’. There’s not a lot I can do about it except wrap up in a blanket, have lots of hot drinks and an array of remedies including decongestants, throat lozenges, cough medicine andContinue reading “Manthrax And The Kitteh”
Aunty Nin’s Antimacassar
My dear Aunty Nin loved to crochet and she made me some antimacassars. I’ve had them for decades and they’re still going strong. I don’t need to use them on the backs of the chairs as men don’t wear macassar any more so I drape them over the chair seats to protect them from aContinue reading “Aunty Nin’s Antimacassar”
It’s MYYYY Chair!
So I’ve had a tiring and frustrating day slaving over hot computers to earn a crust to pay for catfood and I finally get some down time and head for the living room and the telly and WHO is sleeping on MYYYY chair? Not Goldilocks! The psychokitteh, Sparta Puss. On my nice fleecy blankie. AndContinue reading “It’s MYYYY Chair!”
Apes And The Psychokitteh
Greetings, Monkeys. Sparta Puss here. I have control of the pooter box while the hairless apes are chillaxin’. I’ve been hearing a lot about a dog called Pavlov who trained his fur-less monkeys to give him food whenever he pressed a lever. Not bad going for a dog, but a bit too complicated, I think.Continue reading “Apes And The Psychokitteh”
Sparta Says……
I thought I’d put the psychokitty on a greetings card. So all the very best for the holiday season. 🙂 ps the drawing is by husb, using a digital programme on his laptop, don’t know which – probably Adobe Photoshop. And I photoshopped in the background, snowflakes and text. Inspired by the mad-as-a-box-of-frogs Sparta.
