'Starry Night' by Quint

Quint's Starry Night

Ruby's official stamp of approval too!
As a present to myself, I purchased 'Quint's Starry Night', created by Colehaus Cats.  I am a huge fan of Vincent VanGogh, who's rather famous 'Starry Night' is in every art history book, however I think Quint's art should be featured by the experts!  I adore Quint Cole's painting, and I can actually own his pieces.

I enjoy celestial viewing, often dragging The Hubby with me to watch meteor showers or lunar eclipses.  I sit on the back deck, with Patty O'Malley by my side, and stare at the stars.  So, naturally for me, an piece of original art made by a kitty, representing the night sky, was a must-have!

Thanks again to Quint and the other lovely kitties at Colehause Cats, and Carole too!  I have specific plans for framing this treasure, details to be revealed in the future.

Whacha lookin' at, kitty?




What do you do when your cat suddenly starts watching something behind you...but there's nothing there?  You turn around, look for a bug or a dust mote.  But you don't see anything.  It's a bit creepy, no?  Whacha lookin' at, kitty?  A cat never tells.

Be On The Look Out




Years ago, a neighbor rolled an old upright piano to the curb for trash pick up.  We grabbed the bench before the garbage guys arrived, covered it with a towel, and it sits at the unused front door* for Angel and Chuck to use as a look out station.  It's Chuck's favorite spot in the mornings.  I love to watch his tail twitch, as he watches the wildlife!

*We have two front doors.  Our old house was originally a single-family home, then it was separated for a smallish rental apartment upstairs.  We have two front doors, and two back doors!  I love this quirky old home, (as The Hubby grumbles about old pipes, old windows, and the old people living here now...), and it's perfect for catification, both inside and out.

P.S. Thank you all for your comments about yesterday's Declaw Awareness.  If we stay silent, uninformed people and veterinarians will continue the harmful surgery.  Every one of us can make a difference, just by talking to friends, neighbors, the guy in line with you.  The United States can be a progressive, loving country...after all, you and I are in it!  Canada too, is on the brink of banning declaw surgery, so let's keep the pedal to the metal.
