Good Morning

Oil on canvas, 80 x 100 cm, 2023

Cats don’t have to think about what time they have to get up.
Cats don’t have to think about what they have to do today.
Cats don’t have to work or study.

Cats can eat, sleep and play whenever they want, they can just meow meow all day unlike us, humans!

Overgrown

Oil on canvas, 80x100 cm, 2023

There is one cat that grows faster than others.
When a female cat give birth, she has two or more kittens at a time.
One of the kittens is bigger than others. It grows faster and non-stop even when it’s fully grown up.
The cat is still getting bigger in some parts of its body such as its head and belly, and it still grows.
