Gargoyle Cat

This portrait is of one of the artist's cats who loves nothing more than to sit on top of the upper cupboards and look down on his kingdom.  

From the artist: "I've had cats before and yes, I've had to put childproof locks on the lower cupboards.  Then I got Tolstoy.  He's so agile that he jumps to the counter and then to the top of the upper cupboards, which he then opens in the hope of finding his kitty treats.  So, now I have locks on ALL my cupboards."
