Well, as you can clearly see, I am having a grand old time rolling around on my favourite gravel to scratch my back out here in the sun.  My kitty sitter sent this to mama and of course, she probably shed a tear or two, missing me more than ever.  We go into the garden together, but of course mama doesn’t roll around on her back every time.  Still, she could keep me company every now and then, and be on a roll together, HAHA.

Mama is on a culture binge and sent me some pics of things in the Modern Art Museum in Rome, known as GNAM, which I am pleased to share with you.  The show is a mixture of new artists thrown in with the permanent collection of those from long ago, many from the 1700-1800s.  My favourite is this big kitty outside!  Mama wanted to pet it but a guard was watching…just as well.  Those pets are reserved for ONE kitty.  One guess?

And this was the dress and gloves that a model wore for a video that one can listen to and watch, which started with a model putting on this dress and gloves inside a sort of cage-like thing and then about a dozen German Shepherds came in with their masters and surrounded her and she starting singing opera and the dogs starting howling along with her….I think I might have passed on that one.

Hey, it’s art.

Uh, oh, papa is so baaaaad…

Now this piece has real backbone!

A very old Modigliani was one of the paintings in the nudes room.  And this lovely nymph in marble.

Hey, maybe this one will get your goat, haha.

At least, I think that’ s a goat…

Now THIS I can understand.  Those are old car parts.  Clever, eh?

It would have been fun to be with them at the museum, but I’m not sure kitties are allowed.  Why do doggies have all the fun. All you need is a leash and voila’, you’re in like Flynn, whoever he is.

Still, I’ll fight for my independence any day.
