Oil paint on 18 x 24 in canvas

If you have a cat, you’ve said the title of this painting before. The mischievous nature of cats has always frustrated humanity while simultaneously endearing the feline to us.

Bad Kitty captures a mischievous moment wrapped in humor and color. A cat with piercing yellow eyes sits proudly on the table as it glances sideways at the unfolding consequences of its crime. The vintage phone, its cord now chewed and severed, dangles uselessly in the hands of an unseen caller—mid-dial, mid-frustration, caught in a moment of realization.

The richly patterned tablecloth and vibrant blue-orange floral wallpaper create a scene steeped in vintage charm, while the dramatic purple and brown shadows add depth, as if the cat’s mischief ripples beyond the immediate moment. Was this an act of curiosity or sabotage? Either way, this Bad Kitty remains the ruler of its domain.
