I came home to find this grisly modification to Starla Argo, whom I had thought was safely ensconced in the Sea House Warming Hut, up on a high shelf. Here’s the weird part: nothing else was disturbed.
And there’s a lot of random stuff on the stairs and deck.
When I asked Scarlett if she knew anything about this, she sniffed Starla a few times, then galloped off down the hallway.
I found her lounging in the kitchen sink. Her head was bobbing rapidly in that cat way of gathering as many perspectives as quickly as possible to assess if I was going to use my big voice again, which is why her face is a bit blurred.
It’s OK. Starla v1 was a learning prototype, and I had notes on changes to my technique and her design. But I am going to invest in some of those upright square plastic boxes I’ve seen stop motion animators use to store their models for v2 and subsequent characters.

No mom, I’ve never seen that doll before. She’s pretty. Can I have her? Why’s she shaped like that? You should ask my brothers what happened to her. I bet they know.
This is prophetic… I got home to find my flower experiment, ball styluses, paper and pins on the ground. I swear our cats are in cahoots. Do you think they’re skyping to co-ordinate their efforts to make us crazy?
Hahaha, Sheila. And I was gone less than a half hour! At this point, I’d put nothing past their kind. Sorry about your flower setup. *sigh*
Thankfully the flower is intact, but I suspect my feet will be finding pins on the floor for a while. That’ll be an adventure!
I cannot recommend plastic boxes (with heavy things on top or snap locks to hold them down) enough. My current project is covered with a gigantic grill cover to prevent… pillaging.
Jasper is happy to give laziness lessons. :D
Sorry you both had bad kitty days. :\
I never fully, *fully* appreciated the composure of adult cats until this particular hellion/sugar babe kitten. *sigh*
Oh no! All your hard work – that makes me sad. :(
Animals are my sensei teaching non-attachment to material objects and outcomes… APPARENTLY. It’s OK. I can make again :)
Hi Nancy, I’m a new reader of your blog and I Love it, first blog I’ve subscribed to. Scarlett is so beautiful, you could never post too many pictures of your cats. I’m a big cat person owned by a blue Burmese her name is Angel and she is the Love of my life. She doesn’t tend to disturb my miniatures too much, she once ate a piece off a wall sculpture I purchased from an art gallery I was so upset and sadly the artist has passed. Also I must say you are an exceptional artist and so happy to have found your blog.
Hello Allee, and welcome! Thank you for your kind words. Adding a very sociable kitten to my miniature world has (almost) been as entertaining as it has been disruptive.
