We need some more cats!

For Palms, and all the other cat lovers...

Barney is playing with a laser beam, and Tippy has finished playing and is washing up for his morning nap.

Re: We need some more cats!

My take on Tippy involved underpainting and a diffuse glow, while I added colors on a gradient map to Barney.

Peter -- Cool !! Warhol-esque, but in tiles.

Pavel - no, Peter doesn't mean that -- he knows better than to insult cats on this forum.

Palms, I'm glad you thought the same as I about the "more cats"!

Barney is proud to be first, and Tippy is meowing about having to wait his turn.

Nasturtium -- nice rendition. You needed a "cat fix"?

lol Palms. Men tend to be single minded whereas ladies tend to multitask (but get nothing done; lol). That's why ladies and gents complement each other.

Excellent smudge Palms; like the sketch too OB. Also, somehow missed Nancy's rendition. Like the long brushstrokes.

Dron, I, personally, don't need any more cats since I inherited a large bunch from my late brother. This forum, however, never suffers from the effects of large numbers of cats, so we can always use more images of cats.

Lyle, WHERE did my Tippy go?!?!?! Lost in the Matrix, tumbling thru time and space, seeking autographs from Keanu Reeves (does he have cats?)...

Not to worry, that's why cats have 9 lives - so they can survive the Matrix and return to Earth or Middle Earth or someplace suited for cats.

Brave Barney to the rescue! I'm glad you noticed his brave demeanor - he's named after Barney Fife because he was afraid of people when I got him, but stood up bravely while trembling (like Barney Fife, even when he was scared enough to faint) to fight me off when I tried to get near him. The love of salmon flavored catfood won him over, and he enjoys being scratched now. He also likes our dog, so I'm guessing that your image is showing Barney playing with the dog in the photo.
