The Art of Napping
If you have ever owned a cat (or more correctly, if a cat has ever owned you), you know that cats sleep a lot. According to catster.com, cats can sleep up to 16 hours a day, more as they get older (I can relate). As a somewhat fitful napper, I am always jealous of how my cats have seemed to be able to nap comfortably almost anywhere … and appear blissfully at ease in the most interesting positions. Yes, there’s stretching, too, but we’ll leave that for another day. However, my newest feline companion, Claude, between his Rorschach-Test markings and the variation of positions he assumes in his beds, raises napping to the level of art. Here is a collage of just a few of his abstract patterns.
It is of course true that art inspires art. And while I can’t compete as a napper, I wield a pretty nifty piece of charcoal. This is a white charcoal on black paper drawing of one of Claude’s many poses. If you look carefully, there is a touch of pink pastel on his pretty pink paw-pads. Have a great weekend.
