One night, many moons ago, I dined with my brother, his lady and their friends Dylan and Chiara (as breathlessly European and glamorous as they sound - they own a boat! On the canal! For leisure purposes only!), in my brother's fashionable apartment in the not-capital of The Netherlands, Amsterdam.
Over a dinner of chicken (40 Euro each from the organic market), and chocolate cake (10 Euro a slice, also from the organic market), I tried to describe the multi-dimensional horrors visited upon me every day by the two frankly retarded cats I adopted one night when I was drunk.
Anyway, sometimes words don't come easy to me, so I drew them instead. My brother spat his chicken out, and Dylan asked if he could keep the drawing which is (if I say so myself), quite astonishingly accurate. Luckily for the world of feline art, Dylan had the picture scanned and it was returned to me in electronic form - making it all the easier to share with the world.
And it seems that this picture now has an international audience. My friend in Cleveland, Hot Coffee Girl (and man, is she HOT!), found the drawing amongst the other splendid Works in my flickr thing down there on the right, and wanted to share it with the friends and visitors that congregate daily around her splendid blog.
For this, I will always thank her: for I like to think of Dead Cat admiring my artwork in Hot Coffee Girl's special feature in heaven. And if I know that cat, he'll be expressing his pleasure by inserting his head into the open mouths of sleeping angels, as he once did to me all those months ago on the sofa in my flat in Brixton.

Fabulous cat!! Only slightly outdone by it's owner's drawing! It looks so pissed off - are you still torturing it? I have 4 cats (lucky you, learning more about me than you ever wanted or needed to know!!) - they all have attitude problems and treat me like a slave, even the dog (yes there is a dog too!!) is scared of them! I think that drawing may go rather well on the wall in my office...mmm.

M I DEMAND you put them up on your wall in your office, and that you make all your friends do the same thing. I want to start a Movement.
I don't really like cats, that's why this is all so odd.

It shall be done...geeez how am I gonna explain where the drawing came from??!
Damn you're scary when you get all bossy-britches!!

PS I hated cats for years...dunno how I ended up with so many!
PPS Ummm exactly what sort of movement did you want to start? Some of us just ate you know!!
THE GALLERY IS OPEN!
I'm very concerned that the picture of the fierce monkey wearing pearls is supposed to be me. I don't wear pearls (except sometimes, at funerals). I am even more concerned at the picture of my friends and I performing our fertility rituals - green was never my colour.
