Ming And The Mickey Finn

Greetings bald monkeys. Sparta Puss here. I’ve managed to wrest the pooter box from my trained apes. It’s been a while, but frankly, I couldn’t be bothered to do anything much in this hot weather except lie around in a shady nook and throw a few half-dead rats at my hairless she-ape.  It amuses me.Continue reading “Ming And The Mickey Finn”

More Kitteh Scribbles And Food Porn

Got almost to the end of the day without doing ANY art. So I grabbed the piece of kitty scribbling I started the other night and carried on with it. Sparta was mooching around on MY chair so I did a few scribbles of her and then just played with my old-fashioned dip pen andContinue reading “More Kitteh Scribbles And Food Porn”

Kitty Quickies

Some very quick scribbles, just a few seconds each, of Sparta on the windowsill, poking her head under the curtain watching the dawn chorus with murderous intent. The last one is of Ming, having a stretch on top of the boiler. Scribbled into my tiny little steampunky leather recycled sketchbook, about size A7 using aContinue reading “Kitty Quickies”

Early Bird

Just got back from our visit to the seaside near Brighton, a six hour drive, and time for a quick blog. This is a pigeon that was snaffling wild bird seed from the feeder in my friends’ garden this morning. It was too big to stand on the pegs on the feeder, which is meantContinue reading “Early Bird”

Kittiwakes And Kitteh Sleeps

Having a spot of time away on the South East coast of England and went for a walk in gale force winds (although it was sunny) to Splash Point at Seaford Head to see a colony of Kittiwakes, who arrive every year around Easter and leave, according to local lore, the day before the EastbourneContinue reading “Kittiwakes And Kitteh Sleeps”

The Castle Cat

There’s a lovely cat down by our allotment site, beneath Oystermouth Castle. He’s big and fluffy, white and ginger, cuddly and chatty and we’ve often seen him wandering around the Castle but this evening for the first time he came up for a cuddle as we left the allotment. He and Husb sat on theContinue reading “The Castle Cat”

The Stinky Rat

Greetings hairless apes. Sparta Puss here. It’s been a while; I’ve been busy sleeping, eating, hunting, sleeping….. The trained primates disappeared for a couple of days last week and left Ming and myself alone in the house overnight with an automatic food dispenser. Result! Soon got bored with over-eating so I caught a rat andContinue reading “The Stinky Rat”

Scruffy Kitteh

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”
