Your cats look unimpressed with their new surroundings.

I used to have one of those squeezy eye-popping stress things and it’s great to see it as a work of art. Very cool piece and beautiful cats too.

Thank you all. The pic with the cats is from a mock-up. "Panic Pete" - was the name of the original stress squeezy. . I started off on this thinking it would make a cool graphic, but Pete has not held up well imo, time has passed it by.

Absolutely LOVE! Original and striking! Much impact. A contemporary gem Bongo!

Thank you, thank you much appreciated. It's amazing how back in the day a hand squeezie could keep people so captivated.

Not exactly your usual wonderful night scene, but captivating nonetheless. Are your cats Abyssinians? They are very elegant.

Thanks Susan - the cats are all pixels. - it is from canvy.com - an online sight that lets you add you painting to various rooms for staging.
I have dogs now, but had a Siamese for 15 years - that I still miss dearly.

Weird and wonderful! I've never seen the 'panic Pete' thing or anything quite like it (I've only ever seen regular squeeze-balls) so this is a completely new face to me!

That canvy thing is clever. It's art in itself and it makes a sort of collaborative end result when combined with your painting. The two hairless cats really add to the weird wonderfulness of the whole thing!

Ah, cats that are mere pixels. I guess they won't scratch you then. I sympathize on the loss of your Siamese. I have two Tonkinese (Siamese+Burmese) that I really should do a portrait of one of these days. Interesting to know of canvy.
Dogs can be nice too.

Claudia - canvy.com is a lot of fun you should give it a try, and Susan do a cats portrait! ( and then put it in a room with canvy.com)
