"Kitty" the Calculating Feline

I recently completed this painting of an extraordinary house cat named "Kitty."  Apparently no ordinary name stuck so the cat retained the nickname of her class.  Kitty is a pretty cat with a wild streak.  She attacks canine invaders by sitting in wait behind a chair and leaping out unexpectedly to terrify all comers.  Bathroom doors remain closed as she has a predilection for toilet paper.  She may leave it in clawed tatters or roll it out upon the floor.  She tiptoes regally across the half-wall above the stairs to drive the dog crazy, then dashes down the stairs in a mad sprint calculated to evade all pursuers.  This is not a memorial painting as Kitty is alive, well, and as mischievous as ever except when she is cuddled up with her loving owner.
