H.A. #37 -"Tiger, tiger burning bright..."











Tiger, tiger, thank you Wm. Blake. Four definitely makes a series....cats are a fun subject, but I need to try other things. This, I guess, is keeping me going since all I do all day just now is paint, sand, clean (yesterday it was plaster) & peel old wallpaper. And this house was built in 1942--not that old. It just needs a lot of help!

So, here's the story:

This cat is a bright gentlecat, working on his PhD in climbing high (bookshelves, of course!), catching things on the ground (in the dark) and prowling neighborhood street for characters for the expose's he'll be writing. When he's not teaching at the local cattery, he likes to sit at the heels of a local painter
(an expressionist!) to watch his paint brush swipe the canvas. Also, he likes to sleep inside a linen cupboard on the second floor & hide balls of paper in people's shoes. Very clever!
