Just wait until it's glazed and fired, and that cat can push it off a shelf....

ne'er-do-well :unarist:

@catsalad catto did a far better job than I ever would have, tbh.

@catsalad It's a wonderful thing to have a good belly laugh just before bed. Thank you, I needed that.

@catsalad Who else has Unchained Melody as earworm now? 🤪

@catsalad That cat's like "That's good, but It just needs a tweak, here, and another here - now it's perfect."

@DrArtAnalytics @catsalad Does the cat hair leave little pock marks in the pottery after it is in the kiln and it burns off? Inquiring minds want to know.

DrArtAnalytics

@Dianora
Probably too small to do that, the clay will fuse around the gaps. The claw marks will be cool though

@DrArtAnalytics @catsalad I wouldn't have thought they'd bother with their claws out but if they did that would be cool! Let's hope this one is fired so we can see the result eh?

@catsalad It's not that simple, Mister Cat.
I think that after this he will not throw the dishes off the table and will begin to appreciate work.

Potresti prenderti un'aiutante, per sicurezza uno con cui non litigherai mai per le quote. In ogni caso si farebbe pagare in tonno. :) ⬆️

@catsalad @apenkop I see a business opportunity. Have your cat have a go on that clay. Any style or outcome. Make a YouTube of the making as proof of its authenticity. Sell them in your webshop.

Name it Unicatum Clayworks.

Thank me later.

@heesdaman @catsalad @apenkop during the 90s, an animal shelter in NYC got a rescue tomcat to paint with his paws using non toxic paint (he wasn't forced to do it, but actually enjoyed doing so); they then sold the paintings as modern art for $100 each. His artwork paid for the entire food budget for the shelter for a whole year 😺

@catsalad @apenkop Thank you, @vfrmedia!

Of course the above is in jest. However…

Any initiative that marries Man And Beast in a non-destructive and respectful manner is a win-win situation in my book.

Who knows how many cats are able to sustain a shelter for a whole year?

@catsalad A cat branching out from concrete casting. Good to see.

@catsalad A hairy potter post that isn’t problematic.

@catsalad cat is attracted by movement, but I think there is a attempt at imitation there for a few moments, which points to the idea that the cat is trying to figure out what the advantage is. I wouldn't go this far, but the idea is in the spectrum of "cat doesn't know it is not people".

Also, the cat is clearly recognizing that people hands and paws are functionally similar things.

I am really appreciating cats more as I get older and people capture more of these behaviors and post them.

@catsalad Call it a "chawan" "one of a kind" and sell it for double. Simple glaze, though. Don't try to improve perfection!

@catsalad If my dad owned cats during his pottery days, he’s definitely be doing this!

@catsalad this is legitimately a better result than I had the first time I tried throwing.

@pineywoozle

@DVDSchneider lol my collage BF (6’5” college athlete) thought it would be “fun” to come throw a pot with me one weekend. 😜 His eventually turned out well, with a lot of coaching.. Ghost style. LoL A lot of coaching!…He later told me it was more physically tiring than some of his workouts and this was a guy who thought stadium stair runs were routine. 🤣 🤣 🤣 @catsalad

@catsalad

It's a masterpiece. Should be in the Louvre
