The artist wrote (4 May 1969): ‘The Cat & Mouse was inspired by our own cats, we have three pure white cats among others, but I did get a little aid from a newspaper snap of a white cat which was an exact replica of one of our own cats. I gave it a pinky hue, I never like painting things pure white...
‘I put the mouse or rat in entirely imaginary.’
