Portrait of Spot

PORTRAIT OF SPOT mr. Picasso we have a strange cat named spot. spot is mainly white save for this splotch on his nose, pure black and triangular now some cats meow but spot cries like a baby you’ll want to paint spot. because spot is quite unique. i’m sure you’ll think him worth while please don’t take offense but at the art gallery i saw your pictures and you like to distort things spot has built-in distortion cats like to cuddle not spot he stays to himself switching his black tail while the others eat he waits he’s very particular other cats hate him they hiss when spot comes around does this bother spot? no they hate the way he cries, how he always gets his way he knows he’s special so you might have to beg him to come and sit for you and you must treat him super he knows you’ll make millions

Daver, your comments are so fun to read. Yeah, I can't blame you on not wanting to revisit Iowa. but gosh, I sure do miss it and those beautiful sunsets and rainbows in the cornfields.

He sounds special, for sure Daver! Different does call more attention, I think Picasso would have loved meeting Spot.:) Who knows what he's saying with his cries, might be something that offends the other cats? Keep well and stay safe!! Love, Mikki

Hello Daver, your cat Spot, would make a good painting of Picasso's work, I already pictured painted your cat, by the side of your laps, your cat curious and wondering what's on your mind... I'd pay a million bucks to have this painting... hugs my friend... XOX ~LINDA

LOL Dear Daver, Spot is one lucky cat to have you as his "pet." Laughed at the way you asked Picasso to paint Spot. You already did that through your words! Methinks Spot may be at least part Siamese if he sounds like a baby. Hope his "peers" come to appreciate him. Love, Carolyn
