All of the paintings are lovely, especially loved the curious cat! I noted that the newspaper headline could have applied to politics now!

We have 2 cats, and so much appreciate all the beautiful pictures. The timing for US readers is of course, by accident, but I'll admit that it added to my pleasure! So glad I am paid subscriber so I can come back to this post and read the bios.

Thank you, Jodi. I’m so pleased you enjoyed it. It was a joy to put together. Yes, the current US political story was just pure coincidence. I adore cats and have an elder lady cat, Poppy. She’s just turned twenty. Her litter sister passed away last year. Thank you for your support! 💕

I'm a dog man myself, but not so much that I can't admire some of these. Particularly the Charles Spencelayh. And I am reminded that his most famous "cat" painting doesn't have a cat anywhere in it....called That Damned Cat, it's the aftermath of a cat's attack on a pet canary!

Yes, I went for the more cat-friendly of Spencelayh’s feline paintings. I love both cats and dogs, but have never had a dog companion. I loved putting this collection together.

So, timely, Victoria--and you may not know this in Britain, but Kamala Harris is being attacked as a cat lady because she's not given birth to a child. She would be the 47th president who has not birthed a child if she wins. Did you know that when you posted this marvelous, as always, essay with gorgeous paintings? Clearly, I favor her -- and YOU!

Thank you so much, Mary. I have seen the news stories, and the comments by Jennifer Aniston. But, I’m afraid, The Cat Collection is just a coincidence. Just down to my love of cats and their appearance in some of my favourite paintings. I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend! 💛

How lovely. I particularly enjoyed the ones where you know that very shortly the cat will have wreaked havoc.
