My regular readers will know that I have a little white tip to my tail. Here it is in action:
-
- Purdey playing in the snow (March 2013)
However irresistible it might be, while I’m asleep I don’t expect my tail to be used for purposes outside my control.
This morning, I was napping quietly on my office chair when a certain artist decided he’d try a little experiment. Apparently, he had exhausted the possibilities of pin-feathers and was looking for alternative amusement.
Rose madder or yellow ochre? Can’t quite decide…
I slept right through this hilarious exercise, and only discovered the photographs later when they were downloaded onto the computer. You can imagine my concern. I have checked my tail, and the end of it is still pure white. I am, however, going to be sleeping with it tucked under my bottom from now on.
Advisory note: No cats’ tails were harmed or coloured in the production of this feature. Do not try this yourself!

I imagine that would be very difficult to paint with, particularly with a live cat attached to it. It’s at the other end of the scale from a pin feather, isn’t it? Amazing that she slept through it, I wonder if someone could paint with my feet while I’m asleep.

Especially with Purdey, I think any art work would necessarily have to be quick and sketchy! That’s a very good point, but I do not know who would hold the copyright if someone painted with your feet while you were asleep!

Purdey begs to differ! 🙂

How cute!!
And that’s a good idea to try in my studio! But, I need a cat… (:D Just kidding)
By the way, I still miss my tomcat, Tommy.

You haven’t read Purdey’s advice at the end! 🙂 I’m so sorry you still miss Tommy! 🙁 He was a lovely cat and I remember your photos of him. I hope that another cute little cat will come into your life soon!
