Cattaissance

Say, doesn’t “veneration” come from “Venus?” Ben Grelle, aka “the Frogman,” has given us this object of Feliration, and a bunch more, heavy on the Botticelli and the canvas. Go, behold, wonder, and don’t forget the free screen-cleaner. After you behold some of Ben’s other artworks, you’ll need it.

As the proud owner of a cat with a somewhat, um, Rubenesque physique, I approve!

I’m just going to go ahead and name my next kitty Zaftig. Seems to fit my trend of “fluffy” felines.

Oh my, those are wonderful! They look so much like my own Ginger Pea. She’s not as Rubenesque yet but not for lack of begging for treats!

Venus in fur?

That, & venereal disease. (Sorry, can’t resist a straight line.)

Lovely kitteh, lovely ‘shops, but these would be oh so much better with Tunch. Or maybe Maru. *hint*

Comarade Mary, since Ben Grelle was the one who risked life and limb to capture a megacat in attitudes of abandoment and discomfort, I’m not about to swap beasties on him~~besides, the Renfair Rufous coloring of his ginger beastie works so well!

Maru would do better in a Cornell box, anyway. And Tunch? Maybe the Rake’s Progress, if by “rake” we mean Claws/Face. Thank you, but no thank you.

Take a bow.

I’m not sure why that painting would be funny or exceptional. A happy cat jumping out of a shell is what it’s all about.

Wonderful!

Today is the day for the annual washing of the cat, something she doesn’t fight us about, but it does wipe that smug look off her face for several hours afterwards and our hearing suffers. Her unique pattern of long and short fur makes some areas just plain inaccessible for her own efforts, and she hates being brushed so this is the compromise. If I live through it, you’ll hear from me again, and if not, assume the worst.
