Hello....disappeared there for a while didn't I? Financial hassles etc etc
but now we're back online, DH has a new job and we still have all our cats
(snigger). DH is now converted....he found homes for some of the boys, then
got all sentimental and said he'd miss them, so conveniently forgot to
remind people of our address.....So the gang of orange is intact and
presently zooming around the house destroying everything in their path. Hope
you are all well.

Well, they had a go at being pink for a while.....(accident involving
landlord's bucket of paint on top of Their cupboard in Their room) but they
changed their mind when they realized it inevitably involved a bath.......I
keep finding small pink footprints in odd places (like the ceiling for some
reason)

Ah..... The secret is finally out.  Cats levitate when no human is
watching.  Maybe it is easier to communicate with the mothership while
walking on the ceiling?   :)

LOL I spent some highly profitable time trying to imagine what acrobatic
feat of panic it took to get the footprint there.....I certainly did some
acrobatics scrubbing it off!!

Pleeeeze check out this book I got at the Vancouver Museum of Art
called "Why Cats Paint".  It has a whole theory of cats having a strong
aesthetic sense with some fantastic pictures of cats in action putting
Jackson Pollock to shame.  It claims that some of the more famous cats
can sell their paintings for upwards of $30,000.00, I kid you not.
This book is one of my coffee table treasures, but I am afraid to put
any paint down for my budding artistes....I let them sketch it out in
the litterbox.

Seriously?? What do they do with all the money? Gold plated litter trays?
Extra strong freeze dried organic catnip??

I think they keep their servants (read hyoomaaans) in the style to
which they are accustomed!

Yep, that'd be right...Hoomans get a new jag and 5 swimming pool mansion and
the cats get a few extra tins of Fancy Feast.

That book is kind of a fancy joke, a satire of art criticism. I have no
doubt that many cats love to (or *would* love to, given the chance) play
with paint. And for all I know, some may even have a visual aesthetic
sense. But I don't think there's anything scientific in that book - it's
mostly poking fun of the pretentiousness of art critics, is how I see it.
The added bonus, of course, is plenty of wonderful kitty photos for us
ailurophiles! :)

Also, don't miss the companion book, "Why Paint Cats". Seriously. It's
full of pictures of cats with elaborately painted fur, made to look like
something else. All done in Photoshop, of course! :)
