I did 3 single 12 x 12 paintings last year called querky cats and I had planned to do more -- but then I had a thought it might be more fun and practical to do them all on one canvas. It was a lot of work to complete and it is certainly very bright and I hope people enjoy it.

This is all about common cat idioms used in everyday English to represent ideas -- here they are pictured in a very concrete manner using actual images of cats to convey the idea. Have fun trying to name each of the 9 squares. (see below for answers)

From the left to the right and the top to the bottom -- the idioms are:

Fat Cat, Cat Burglar, Copy Cat

The Cats PJ's, Cat Nap, Alley Cat

Nervous as a Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Cats out of the Bag, Throw the Cat among the Pigeons
