Somebody once said a piece of art is part of an Artist’s life, and I totally agree with it.
I painted this artwork during a long flight from Hong Kong to Melbourne, missing my beloved cat while I was away visiting family.
There’s a saying that when Cats lick their paws, you can see it as a self-soothing behaviour. My cat Cadbury loves taking her time to clean her cute little pink paws (with her signature black spot on them) on her favourite spot before she goes to bed every night. It’s like she is saying “I am comfortable here; this is the place I want to be.”

I have the same affirmation from my previous small artwork series – Family by Choice for this particular piece. We adopted Cadbury from RSPCA many years ago, she was skinny and tiny back then. We shower her with love every day, over time she has become the anchor of my life, Cadbury is my family by choice with no doubt.

Affirmation:
A friend is a family by choice.
Partner is family by choice.
Pet is family by choice.
And you, my dear, are my family by choice.
-We are all different, but we make each other better. –

Artwork inspired by my beloved cat, painted during a long flight from Hong Kong to Melbourne in the Spring of 2024. By HSIN LIN.
