Tag Archives: Naughty Torties

I sleep sandwiched between Husb on one side of me and Sparta Puss on the other, which is normally OK but last night they ganged up on me. Husb got up for a toilet visit at 4am and Sparta Puss decided to follow him, because like many cats she thinks it’s her duty to accompanyContinue reading

Crafty Cat

Sometimes I want to do something, keep my hands occupied, but I’m arted out, so I settle down to do a bit of crafting. Art is hard work for me, crafting, like baking, is very relaxing. I made a stack of origami lilies which will end up on a string of LED lights as fairyContinue reading “Crafty Cat”

Violent When Brushed

  I did a quick scribble this evening into my tiny A7 size sketchbook with a biro (ballpoint) pen. It’s been a busy day; I went to Cardiff on the bus for two meetings with fellow artists, planning arty collaborations, and then I got travel sick on the way home. Not nice. So I’ve onlyContinue reading “Violent When Brushed”

Little Hairy Poser

  Just time for a quick scribble in my sketchbook this evening. This is Ming the Merciless, our little hairy cat.

She’s very leggy with big ears and a long nose and huge saucer eyes all wrapped up in a brindledContinue reading “Little Lou Lou”

Monkey Magic

Greetings trained apes. Sparta Puss here. I am now digitised. The idiot she-monkey usually scribbles into a book with sticks with dirt in them but now she’s managed to smear the dirt into the pooter box! It’s Monkey Magic! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjQQhH6Jbok (One for the baby boomers 😀 ) She says the smeared dirt looks like me.Continue reading “Monkey Magic”

This Is Spartaaaaaaaa!!!!!

Sparta is a small ‘Naughty Tortie’ cat [that’s calico cat in some parts of the world]. She was eight weeks old when she came to us about 18 months ago and one of her favourite pastimes was trashing our net curtains; running across the room at full speed, launching herself up as far as sheContinue reading “This Is Spartaaaaaaaa!!!!!”
