Alter Ego kitty dreams of tiger chasing mouse

Alter Ego  Oil on wood  6" x 6"  $95.
One time we brought home a treadmill that had been stored in my Mother's barn.  The treadmill carried a passenger...a mouse who made a mad dash across the kitchen floor upon arrival.  Layla the cat who had only a vague interest in the treadmill -saw the mouse and pounced.  There was no thought and no befuddled consideration.  She went from sassy pants to predator in a split second.  It was pure animal instinct at its finest.  My husband snatched up Layla and tossed them outside. I'm afraid it wasn't a happy ending for the mouse.

Diane, you are sooo creative! I love this cat series (have I said that before?)!! Each painting has its own personality. :-)

This is why I don't get people who keep exotic animals as pets. Even the sweetest purry pets revert to their ancestral nature in a split second! I can show you my scars...
Another winner, Diane!
