The Session
I had a long conversation with Storm the Studio cat today.
He was extremely helpful to me without even uttering a single syllable. He just sat right on top of the picture I was sketching and watched the words pour out of my mouth as he smiled his cat smile while I spewed forth.
By lending me an unconditional ear, Storm helped me confront a niggling problem that's been sitting in the back of my mind for days.
Thanks to his cat-like patience and total non-judgmental approach to problem solving, I heard my problem spoken instead of just feeling it bubbling in a cauldron in my mind.
Storm is a good friend and a great therapist.
He doesn't care whether my drawings are good or bad. Whether my writing is great or pathetic. (Actually I think he prefers it when someone does not like my work because he gets more cuddles on those days.)
He never tells me what to do.
He never influences my thought process.
He never gossips.
He never borrows money.
He always returns love promptly.
He does occasionally walk on my art with muddy paws though, but his therapy sessions are free and he doesn't require an appointment.

You've created the most amazing clear, real eyes I've ever seen in a painting of a cat or animal. Amazing!

Colette said: "time spent with cats is never wasted". I agree, and I think that spending time with Storm must be great!
The paint is awesome, Storm must be flattered.

Do you loan Storm out? I have a couple of things I could use some help with. Nice painting.
