Cats of New York

I've been away from home for a while because I was taken to the boarding place again in that infernal cage that Dee Dee calls carrier. It's not such a bad place -- I get two play times in a room where I get to jump on a big cat tree and play with toys. And the people there like to play with me and think I am very cute! When Dee Dee picked me up to bring me home she said she had been in a place called New York City and thought about me all the time. I should hope so!

Dee Dee took some pictures of cat-related things in New York, and I have to say some of them are pretty weird. Sadly, there are no pictures of torties, but these will have to do.









This does not look like a cat to me! It's a sculpture in the Metropolitan Museum of Art by an "artist" named Modigliani. I don't think he liked cats very much!



These pictures are of a painting by Picasso. At least it looks more like a cat than that frightening statue! Although I've never seen a cat that looks quite so round. But I kind of like it.


This is a closeup of a cat in a painting by Renoir (the most important part of the painting, of course!). It's a little blurry -- cats should be clear -- but Dee Dee says that's the style of the painting. It does kind of look like a cat, though.











This one is just plain freaky! Why would you want to paint an upside down cat? Sometimes I go upside down when I'm in my cat tree, but this just looks scary.









And finally, this isn't really a cat -- more of a cat cousin -- but it is very regal! This is in front of the New York Public Library. I think Dee Dee and Frank should have a statue like this of me in front of their door. Torties are just as majestic as lions!

I must say I quite like that sculpture.
