Are you full of confidence or have you ever suffered from Imposter Syndrome? Tell us all about it.
“Are you studying art Tabby?”
“Studying, of course not. I just want to improve my artistic talents and make an attempt at painting the Furry Mona Lisa to hang next to my bed.”
“Which bed Tabby? You seem to have so many.”
“That is the problem. That is why I chose to study this book. Perhaps I will gain some ideas from it for various paintings.”
“I have a nice photo of Garfield in a magazine. That would look nice next to your cushion on top of the cupboard.”
“No, Garfield is no longer in. He is getting old and his fur is turning slightly grey.”
“What about Grumpy Cat?”
“No, I do not want to have catmares when I awake. I have an idea, give me a tin of tuna fish unopened.”
“Unopened? Tabby are you not feeling well, shall I take you to the uncle vet.”
“I beg your pardon. No, Mrs. Human, What Andy Pawhole did with the tin of Campbell’s Soup, I can do with a tin of tuna fish. I will become famous. I will sign my paintings with a pawprint, and my first exhibition will be a sell out. Felines will be queuing at the gallery to see my unique painting. Yes, that will be my trade mark in future. I will be interviewed. the “Tuna Fish Tin” painting will be reproduced, highlighted with various theme colours. I will become famous.”
“Err, Tabby, it has all been done before.”
“But not by such a gifted feline as I am. Just give me a paw friendly paintbrush, no better a tin to spray the paint onto the canvas on the floor. I then only have to push the lever with my paw and the masterpiece will be finished. Perhaps you could shape the outlines of the tin afterwards with a brush Mrs. Human.”
“But I though it would be all your own work.”
“Shhhh, you don’t have to tell everyone. I am sure that Andy Pawhole did not paint the letters on the tin of Campbells soup himself. The human that he owned also helped.”
Dear Tabby, I will pray you achieve whatever you are pretending…err aspiring. Pretender doesn’t exist in meaow. I would love to but your paw painting Tabby. You can also take help of Mrs. Human as you own her.

It will not be help, just support for my fantastic talents. I will be watching every brush stroke she makes.

Dear Tabby, My human paints sometimes. Mostly Mindy helps her. Or maybe it’s the other way. Maybe Mindy’s painting and the human is helping her. Oh, and I have it on good authority that Andy Pawhole used a photocopy machine for his soup cans. If your human has one, you could use it with the tuna can. I wish I were there to help. Yours always and forever, Dusty T. Dog

Meow Dusty. Mrs. Human says she only has a scanner and that is perched on a shelf that is not a paw friendly place. I have given her instructions to take a photo of the tin and will show her how to make the various versions.
With many meowful thanks – Tabby

But this is a serious work of feline art. The critics have recommended me for the Felineitzer prize.
