Sometimes I just can\u2019t resist sharing Lily\u2019s artwork, even if it comes from the litter box. Does your cat pee interesting shapes for you? Does she claw designs in the litter\u2014something that looks like a bird or a fish, perhaps? Maybe your cat spills sand out of the box and smears it around to make recognizable designs. What? You\u2019ve never noticed? Not an art connoisseur, huh?<\/p>\n
A while back, Lily peed an owl shape. Dang, I didn\u2019t photograph that one. But I did have it verified by someone else. Yep. It sure looked remarkably like an owl. Most typically, however, I find hearts and kitty-cat faces, such as those I\u2019m showing here today.<\/p>\n
How do I know it\u2019s Lily doing the artwork? Well, she\u2019s my artistic girl. Plus, she\u2019s the one![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/litterboxart2-e1535543503192-225x300.jpg\")
with kidney disease and a gigantic bladder. She drinks tons of water, thus pees a lot and leaves big clumps. Sophie\u2019s clumps are tiny and always round. Her art simply lacks the imagination that Lily\u2019s does.<\/p>\n
When Lily was a kitten, she used to scratch patterns on the walls. Sorry, I didn\u2019t think to get pictures. Underneath the white paint in the hallway, was orange\u2014of all things. The walls were in need of a paint job and Lily, I guess, decided to help prepare the walls for the painter. Every day, she\u2019d find a spot on those walls and scratch away the white paint to reveal little orange designs.<\/p>\n
When I came across a book called, \u201cWhy Cats Paint?\u201d I was fascinated. I bought it, of course and delighted in the photos of cats painting on walls, refrigerators, boxes, etc. If you\u2019ve never seen it and you appreciate art, you must check this book out.<\/p>\n
Maybe studying what\u2019s in the litter box had never occurred to you. But I\u2019ll bet that, after seeing Lily\u2019s unique \u201cpee-art\u201d you\u2019re going to pay attention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
