melinda josie + the cats

i have a weird relationship with cats. the only way i can think to accurately describe my aversion is to describe my relationship with watermelon. while i HATE actual watermelon, and avoid it at all costs during picnics/bbqs/otherfunctionswherethereiswatermelon, i LOVE artificial watermelon flavour in things like bubblegum. so where am i going with this? basically i hate real cats and enjoy artificial depictions of them in things like photos/drawings/mediumswheretheycan'tclawyoureyesout. however, melinda josie's depictions of cats makes me (almost) want to end my lifelong feud with felines. i repeat, almost.
