Paco Dit C'etait bon!

 

8 x 10 Oil on Museum Board

 

$125 (framed $150)

 

 

 

Indeed it would appear that Paco rather enjoyed his lizard, although some would say they are poison for cats (ha actually didn't really eat it all as the hotel employee grabbed it from him so maybe he new it would make him sick - or the guests to watch).  Still, I must say for the lizard that was probably not a pleasant experience but you know in the wild there is the hunter and the hunted so here we have the victorious hunter above simply being himself and enjoying the fruits of his labor.......

Paco and his Murder Victim

 

Paco and his Murder Victim

 

8 x 10 oil on Museum Board

 

$125 (framed $150)

 

 

Indeed Paco caught one of his prey and although not one of the birds he was anticipating a true victim!  Wow & the caretakers of the hotel really had a hard time tearing the cat away from his trophy!  Imagine that.  With all the treats and spoils he receives from guest he still manages to hunt.  I suppose it's for the fun of it since he really doesn't need the meal.  Then again perhaps he is more partial to fresh catch than canned tuna?

Well after much deliberation on the sidewalk Paco has decided to resume his hiding spot in the bushes.  Sometimes I wonder if that cat was color blind.  Did he really think he could go unnoticed with in all that red foliage?  He was young, so perhaps a bit inexperienced and kidding himself.....Or maybe I just have a good eye and most others didn't notice him at all.....especially his soon to be victims.....

What To Do

What to Do

 

8 x 10 Oil on Museum Board

 

$125

 

Well after patrolling the grounds Paco finds himself wondering "what to do"....I've been there before haven't you?  Going in the same circles over and over again getting nothing and really going nowhere....I know you know what I'm talking about!  So here is one of those days to just pause and notice....there is really no where to go, nothing to do, and everything is really ok right here, right now....  Ah the deep lessons learned from observing nature and in particular.... le chat noir!

Here's Paco on his daily patrol.  He hides in the bushes then slinks about all the while thinking no one is watching.....For many he goes unobserved, but for someone with such a key eye, I found him & found his daily routine to be fascinating to document.  More on Paco next time.

Those Poor Birds

Those Poor Birds

 

8 x 10 Oil on Museum Board

 

$125

 

 

Here's Paco lurking in the bushes.  Those poor unsuspecting birds!  He was pretty good at keeping hidden since his sleek coat blended in with the soil under the bushes....but once he crept out onto the lawn the birds had a field day communicating with each other!  Still, I felt that one day he would win out.....

Paco Faire Une Sieste

Paco Faire Une Sieste

 

9 x 12 x 3/4 Oil on Canvas

 

$95

 

Ah the glorious afternoon siesta time!  Every cat know the importance of an afternoon nap especially after working so hard in the sun all morning stalking prey... or even if it's just taking a simple patrol around his territory!  Paco certainly has a good life.  He snoozes every afternoon under a canopy on one of the outdoor lounge chairs and I really enjoyed snoozing with him.  Oh the lazy days of vacation!
