'If you take one more photo I'll come over there and sit on your artwork ...'
'See, I warned you I'd sit on your art ... and here I am, sitting on your art.'
'A bit more brown just there methinks ... no, not that much! There - you've ruined it now.'
So there you are, every cat's a critic. I often wonder whether Wendel wants to sit on me when I'm drawing because he is an avid patron of the arts and wants to get as close as possible to the act of creation, hoping therein to gain an insight into the very mind of the artist ... but then monkey mind guffaws in the background (spitting out a mouthful of coffee) and between the laughter lets me know that Wendel actually sits on me because he despises my art and hopes to distract me from drawing, thereby saving me from embarrassing myself any further.
Actually any cat-owned blog-readers out there will know the truth all to well ... cats are at heart attention seeking little beggars who will get between you and whatever you are trying to concentrate on.
Just to prove this wasn't an isolated incident here is Wendel sitting on more of my art ... notice how he's listening out with one ear just to check whether his distraction services are needed more somewhere else in the house.

Ha ha! Our cats used to do that too, it was always impossible to read the newspaper. No cats at present, sadly. Of the 4 that have owned us, we lost 2 to the roads outside, so we're not sure whether to find another cat/kitten or not. But we don't want one around until stuff like the bathroom is finished as it would be freaky for a new resident to have that kind of noise and mess and strangers around.
