I babysat my neighbor's little daughter before she went to school. 

One day, she came to my house and I had a new cat.  I said, "You can pet this kitty if you want to."  She looked at me very suspiciously and asked, "Is it a "scratch cat"?

Obviously, she'd had experience with scratch cats! 

So I painted one yesterday and here he is.

I'm doing some studio cleaning for the new year.  I have paintings in many subjects with low starting prices.  .50 to $15 for a 16X20".  Come bid if you'd like to have some art for your house!  My New Years present to ebay. :)
