Cat art: No words needed
Tweet
When I came home from the hospital a month or so ago (I had a severe case of Lyme Disease, but that’s another story), my dogs and cats met me at the door. Jasper howled, Tucker bounced and Lilah nearly wagged her wagger off.
I got the home version of a cat scan, as Dawn, Athena, Calvin and Elsa Clair performed a complete inspection, noses a whisker’s breadth away as they made sure it truly was me beneath the new scents.
When I was finally able to lie down on the couch, Athena strode onto my lap and gave me a look that spoke for all the animals. Her intense stare expressed concern and love, and possibly a touch of “Now don’t do that again.”
With my cell phone, I snapped a photo of her as she sat on my chest. That photo stuck with me, and I decided to artify it for today’s Caturday Art blog hop.
You can read the post about my Lyme Disease thrill ride if you so desire, as well as the post about my homecoming, which contains the original photo of Athena.
What do your pets tell you without speaking?
Today we’re participating in Athena and Marie’s Caturday Art blog hop. Check it out!

That is so stunning. Looks exactly like an oil painting, and Athena looks exactly like Fiona with her pupils dilated like that. Mom says she feels like she could reach out and touch the real Athena. Have a great weekend. XO, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
Thank you! BTW, keep an eye out for a package heading your way. 😉
Stunning!
My Athena looks at me like that a lot too. She is the most affectionate cat. We communicate telepathically.

Maybe it has something to do with being “Athena.” Our Athena is the most affectionate of our cats.
more than all worth on earth. Athena you are beautiful!
Aw, thanks!
Looks great! Still can’t believe how sick you were, scary!
Thanks. I can’t believe how sick I was either. I’m still not quite back to 100% and the doc says it may take another month or two. :-/
It’s gorgeous! We hadn’t heard about your Lyme Disease. We’re sooo very sorry. And we know your furry family is keeping a very close eye on you too!
Aw, thanks. Yes, my fur family takes very good care of me. Did you know that having a cat sleep on your chest is a cure for Lyme Disease? I didn’t, but Athena assures me it is.
This is really beautiful, you are invited to share this with Feline Art Friday:

Aw thanks. I shared!
I love this version of the photo! Looks just like a painting!
Thanks. I used a combination of tools to get it just right, and I’m pleased with the results =^..^=
That is so cute! The things we can do with photos nowadays is amazing.
There are so many tools out there. I don’t have time to learn how to use a fraction of them!
Ah… so glad you artified this photo of Athena. It has been haunting me ever since I saw it on your blog a few days ago. Gosh… that expression… it just slays me…
That photo stays with you doesn’t it? It certainly stayed with me, which is why I decided to do something more with it.
What a great way to rework that photo of Athena! She looks great!
😀 Thank you!
OMD..or OMC! That is FABulous! You sure do have a great talent!
butts, I’m really glad you’re feelin’ betters!!
I’m always tellin’ Ma what to do…I whine, bark, groan, moan…I gots to get her to do my bidding SOMEHOW!! BOL
Kisses,
Ruby ♥
Thank you. I’m happy to be feeling better, too, but I have to admit I’m a bit impatient and want to get back to 100% me soon!
She’s a gorgeous girl, and was obviously quite worried about you. I have a friend with Lyme. It is rough.
I actually was lucky. I was diagnosed early. That said, my doctors told me I was REALLY sick. It takes a long time to recover from that.
Love that effect! Such a sweet photo 🙂
Thanks! >^..^<
Thanks for stopping by! Wow, this does look like a gorgeous oil painting, what a great art photo! And what a loving, concerned look on Athena’s face. (So sorry to hear about the lyme disease, purrs and good thoughts to you for your health and feeling better.)
Thank you for linking up to Feline Art Friday, hope to see up back this week:
