Fiendish Feline Friday

We have a treat for you today, Loyal Readers.I am delighted to revealthe latest commission for the Felocracy's Art Collection: Tamsin Lord's Fiendish Finnish Feline Midwinter Madness.

Some of you may remember her painting of Fiendish Finnish Feline Midsummer Madness which featured many of us - including my nekkid self. Now as soon as she saw that painting, Äiti knew she had to have a winter version. Tamsin Lord is a very good artist with a long waiting list, so now we have the second painting, a couple of years later. And it features a delightful winter scene on the Catio. Now of course I am not outside as it is too cold, but we have many furry felocrats featured. In fact, all those who were not in the first painting (Äiti likes to be fair).
So Sampo and Jura are fishing, and Sampo just catches polliwogs with his red pipey fishing rod. Jaava is pushing Ruska away from her fishies. Lewis is shyly sat with our winter visitor, the hare, eating his fish politely. Pekka is protecting the Catio from the snow castle ramparts, along with all the mousies which will not live to see the end of winter. Roosa has used the Claw of Doom to good effect on the squirrel - she has removed its tasty liver.  And Poo Corner is out of action so the brown bergs are piling high alongside the golden glacier.  So it is all pretty realistic! (Äiti's note-especially realistic is the girlcat stinkeye on Jaava and Roosa!). 
We are delighted with this painting and it has pride of place in the best lit room in the Castle - the kitchen so Äiti can sit and look at it when she sits at the table there. Thank you so much Tamsin, and yes, Äiti is definitely wanting another commission - and I think I should be in the next one of course to befit my status as Viscount Veikko.  She's already thinking about a sauna scene, and I am indeed a lover of the heats.
