the cats of young sun liu


as befits a blog named "the golden fish" there are no cats in this house. not that we wouldn't welcome cats but there is one person in the family who doesn't want cats in the house and so . . . . the rest of us settle for goldfish and a bunny.
that's what makes this artist's work so appealing. as a boy, my family had several cats, and so i got to know their ways and habits and strange feline peculiarities.

this artist knows that they love to play with their food . . . they love to think they are invisible when they hide behind blades of grass . . .
they love to snuggle - on their own terms - with people . . .
but for the most part, they love to be on their own . . .

the artist is young sun liu.
