CAT BUBBLES - Limited Edition of 1 Artwork

This is a hand-signed, 7x5 digitally-created print. For the work, I adapted, colored and cut out an image from an early 1900s real photo postcard of a cat with attitude. I added some Soap bubbles and mounted them all on a polka-dot background to match the cat’s outfit. I added the warning. As the sign says, chase your own damn soap bubbles. This cat absolutely will not. I then created my digital print of this delightful, if recalcitrant, creature. Like all cats, this one has a mind of its own. Yes, it sees you blowing soap bubbles in hopes of engaging it in play. But it is not interested in chasing, swatting or popping them. It thinks you are quite mad to even try to interest it in your silly games. Have you forgotten the rules? A cat chooses the play time. It charms you into playing when IT wants to be amused. A ball of yarn. A catnip mouse. Paper on a string. Whatever. BUT, if you initiate play, it will refuse to be drawn in, particularly if it’s not in the mood to humor you. Soap bubbles. Really? Cats are connoisseurs of comfort. They have developed lethargy into an art form. They have the arrogance of royalty and the vanity of nouveau riche housewives. Pamper them. Cater to their every needs. But, to paraphrase T.S. Eliot, remember, the cat will do as it does does does, and there’s no do do doing anything about it. Eliot, Cervantes, Lovecraft, Collette, Sandburg, etc. all wrote about cats and the human desire to play with them. Cervantes in fact warned, “those who’ll play with cats must expect to be scratched.” Go ahead. Blow bubbles at your cat. But be prepared to be scratched. Place your order instead!
