We're very upset

I'm sorry I'm not publishing new sketches, but we have some problems. This is what's happened. On Wednesday night Kara got entangled somewhere while she was playing and tore her claw. As you can imagine,  it's a very painful thing for a cat, for they have nerves and blood there. We had to carry her to a veterinary emergency unit, because it happened in the middle of the night and her usual doctor was not on duty, and she had her paw tended. But not her spirit. Because since then, she became frightful and very aggressive toward Jazz and Gigi. It seems to me she thinks that if she got hurt, it's their fault. It is as if she didn't trust them anymore. Jazz, being usually a little aggressive himself, overreacted and attacked me twice since Wednesday, biting and scratching my paw... er... leg. So now I have two very angry and very belligerent cats (Jazz and Kara), who just can't stand (so it seems) to share the same universe (they growl so much that it's like having two wild grizzly bears instead of two domestic cats), and one very sad and very weepy cat (Gigi), who just doesn't understand why his beloved little Kara doesn't want his kisses anymore. I must add that Kara is aggressive toward him too, but in this case he only reacts fleeing and staring at her with extremely astonished eyes. Kara is taking antibiotic, but she (and Jazz too, of course) may have a mild tranquillizer. The problem is that... it is not easy, here, to find a pharmacy that's open on the week end. Actually, I feel a bit upset... :-(

Three cats and just two hands

It's not a real problem indeed, but anytime I cuddle my cats, it seems to me that one of them is always left behind...

Feline fantasies

If only cats could ice-skate...


Magical night

According to an ancient italian tradition, in the night between the 5th and the 6th of January, before the Epiphany Day, there's a kind old lady, we call her Befana, who flies in the skies on a magical broomstick and delivers candies, treats and toys to good children and coal to the naughty ones (but actually it's not real coal, it's only more candies shaped like pieces of coal).
And here we have little Kara riding on her sparkling mop and delivering purrs and kisses to everyone!
Well, actually she does it every day.
But not on a sparkling mop... ;-)


Cats' voices

Have you ever tried dubbing your cat with a tiny, shrill voice? I know for sure that most of us do it... ;-)


Concept art

"Concept Feline", claws on plaster, Jazz, 2013
Lucio Fontana (1899-1968) was an italian painter and sculptor, known as the founder of "spatialism".
He's also known for his "slashes", a kind of pictures that many of us still don't fully understand...
But Jazz must be a follower of Lucio Fontana, so yesterday he was realizing a work of art and not just clawing the wall, as a poor, ignorant human being like me could think...
Or maybe not. Who knows?
"Concept Spatiale", knife on canvas, Lucio Fontana, 1959

Lion King or Kitten Princess?

Have you ever thought that your cat looked a bit like baby Simba? ;-)


Lost things 2

Cats always know where lost things go!


Lost things 1

Did it ever happen to you to lose small objects and find that you couldn't find them only because your cat was sitting on them?...


Can you feel the love tonight?

Yesterday we watched The Lion King again...

Uncomfortable beds

I don't know why cats love sleeping in uncomfortable places.
It seems to me, for example, that a telephone is a hard pillow...
But perhaps for them it's different.
Maybe for cats a telephone is an extremely comfortable pillow...


New year resolutions 3

Poor, little Kara's so dear and loving. Too much loving, sometimes...


New Year's resolutions 2

I'm afraid new year's resolutions will not be easy for Jazz...


Christmas cakes and cat food

Panettone is a typical Italian Christmas cake made with flour, eggs, crystallized fruit, raisins and butter. No cat food, as you can see ;-)


New Years' concerts

Fantasies about Vienna New Year's Concert...
