七小福之眼 Eyes of My 7 Cats

我和老公是因為貓而結織，認識時我養四隻，他養三隻，結婚後順理成章共養了七隻。這七隻貓全是老貓，在我們結婚之後一隻一隻離世，在構思這個繪畫項目的時候，最後一隻老貓剛離世，我好感恩他們在這二十年間，帶給我們珍貴的回憶。在我眼裡他們都是最美最可愛的，而我在他們的眼裡又如何呢？他們有甚麼說話要講呢？

My husband and I got married because of cats. When we met, I had four, and he had three cats. After we got married, we had a total of seven. These seven cats are all old cats. They passed away one by one after we got married. The last old cat died when I initiated this painting project in February 2020. I am so grateful to them for bringing us precious moments in the past 20 years. They are the most beautiful cats in my eyes. What about me in their eyes? What do they have to say?
