Opie Makes His Mark

Some of you know that for quite a while now I've been working on my porch - scraping, priming and painting it inside and out. I finally got to the last part of the project - painting the cement floor. (It's being painted a dark chocolate brown. *dreamy sigh* I love the color!) Anyway....I barricaded the doorway so no kitties could get out there, and turned a fan on so that it would dry more quickly. I went down just a few minutes ago to put the fan away and get the tools, etc. put away, and when I got down there, I started to laugh because THIS is what I saw on the floor:



I rolled fresh paint over the paw prints, and STOOD GUARD this time, so it dried without any feline inspections being done.

Oh, and Opie wants me to let you all know that he hires out as a paint inspector - so if any of you are in need of paw prints all over your freshly painted surfaces his services, just lemme know.

Edited for fifeability.

Awww, he sees you working on your art all the time, he just wanted to be included......

Are you sure it was Opie? Maybe your brother came over and stepped over the barricade.

I'll ask him about that, Rob. He's a very honest man - he'll fess up if he did it.

Rhonda... Maybe I should get him a paint set for Christmas.

Well, give it a try....after much practice, he'll be doing his own portrait.....

Wow, a regular Purrcasso.

LOL. Hey Savannah maybe you should've left the pawprints there for future generations to know of Opie.

Yes! And maybe you'll have one of these sell in the art market!

Vanesa.

Oh, Savannah! I love your cat!

Vanesa.

Alex, I almost did leave the paw prints. They looked so cute!

Rob & Rhonda, you're right - I shouldn't keep his talent in the clawset. I think I'll get him some paints & paper for Christmas, and put his mewsterpieces on eBay.

Aw, thank you, Vanesa!

I'll take one!

Opie's at it again! Too funny!

So happy for you that you are on the home stretch with your porch project!


Rhonda, I love that cat painting video! He looks so intense!!

Poor Opie, always blamed for everything. I know it was that mean dog using his cat paw print stamp again. Don't worry, Opie, I have your back.

Gee, I guess I smushed cat and paw together up there.

I think Fife is watching you out of the corner of his eye...

Ha! That's great!

When you discovered his paw prints don't you bet Opie was just around the corner laughing?
