This is so true. If I may, I'm considering writing a follow-up poem entitled "You Don't Want to Be an Artist's Cat," in which I describe the ways that I depict my poor cat in every writing medium I've written in. In all seriousness, though, I've been thinking a lot about this lately. My current girlfriend doesn't show up in a lot of my poetry. And I'm realizing it's because my poetry usually stems from feelings of pain, loss, and rejection. Fortunately for me and unfortunately for my art, she makes me happy and less inclined to write poetry. Parts of her still sneak into other mediums, though :)

You don't want to love an artist...
this is amazing on so many levels - haha! i can imagine the cat just not caring at all about an enthusiastic artist always running around the home/studio excitedly creating things. or maybe scoffing at the absurdity of the works or the eccentric qualities artists tend to embody ;p
im a total cat person, for the record ;D
and yea - i can relate on that level. a lot of my work has pain in it, and therefore often relationships don't inspire the writing until post-relationship (I'm a total Adele-aholic ).
