I was working my way through a few youtube videos about a particular art technique when our cat, Othello came for a look see.

This cat has been with us for fifteen years and this is the first time he was drawn to my computer screen.

As the teacher’s brush moved across the screen Othello tried to catch it with his paw. I should have chased him away but he was being so cute.

Othello even looked behind my laptop to see if the hand was back there, too.

The cat shouldn’t have been on the table and I thought to shoo him away, but changed my mind. Othello was just as entertaining as the video.

Soon the cat lost interest and I went back to studying the painting technique on the screen. I don’t know if I learned anything, but Othello did teach me something. Even an old cat can be playful…if he wants to.
