I created this collage in March, 2008. It was from a larger set of collages.
The background is made from scraps of paper, all of which were mounted
on butcher paper, then cut to size. The cat is from an old (2002) Humane
Society desk calendar from which I've been getting a lot of images. I
outlined the cat using a black Zig pen.
I've been saving this
quote because it is so like Bleubeard. I couldn't resist using it, and
knew it was fate when Bleubeard jumped up in my lap as I was looking at
the completed page. He normally doesn't allow me to photograph him, but I
got two really good shots of his face, one of which is now my blog banner (and has been since 2008).
EDIT: In case you need a translation:
Most cats, when they are out want to be in and vise versa and often simultaneously.

I don’t know that much about cats, but this is a truth I do know about cats, and it makes me smile.

I have always admired your Bleubeard banner.
And yes, that is a truth about cats.
yes, it's a good description of how cats behave. I like your collage
Delightful. The expression on the kitty's face is exactly the one Calli gives if the door isn't opened quickly enough to suit her. 😺
...cats have a mind of their own.
That quote is so true. This a great page, and it's fun to see something new, since in 2008 I didn't "know" you yet. I think that quote can be true about some dogs too, like Pete, who thinks he wants to go out until he is out by himself and then he wants to come in.:) Have a great start to your weekend. hugs-Erika
Great collage! I always forget about the second, went hectically and randomly and first try... a cat!
Cat owners know the truth of this...and even some dog owners, too. :)
That quote is the story of Lizzie's life, too.
Love this piece. Remember the cartoon of Saint Peter standing at the pearly gates, looking down at a kitty saying, "Make up your mind:) Heh.
looks like nice Pussy Cat.
Coffee is on, and stay safe.
That is true, about cats!
