Painting attempts at three years old

This photo set of a cat receiving a bath reminds me of when I decided at three years old to paint my own cats. Our house was being painted at the time and so I had access to real paint for the job. Thinking I was just being creative, I ended up dropping my cat into a paint can. It wasn’t until a few moments later when my parents discovered the young painter that was their child, and were horrified by the scene. Extensive cat washing in the sink followed. I suppose it must have looked a little like this. My poor cats survived the incident and continued to love me, no need to worry.
