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 ).
