I thought Spatz was a "writers" cat because he's a polydactyl cat and Hemingway collected polydactyl cats.

See his giant paws with THUMBS! I think he believes he can hold a paint brush. He always likes to participate while I'm painting.

But he didn't like this painting of my other cat, Disco, which is in the works here.

Spatz thinks it's a good idea to help me paint in case I walk away and leave a glass of milk unattended

Hummm....."why did she put paint brushes in this glass?"

If Spatz sits still long enough he'll get his portrait drawn. But he thinks he looks a little crazy in this charcoal sketch.

Ah, finally a photo of Spatz that I can paint! I love his long white whiskers.
His whiskers are exceptionally long and his paws are exceptionally huge. Spatz is an exceptional cat.
