Description

Demon CatsView Gallery:Paintings inspired by the poem of Aaron T., inspired Art Project participant and America Scores poet/athlete. See below:

Demon Cats
Murkiness fogs the room as I�m surrounded by cats.
They grow hidden, immoral wings, and they start to scat.
Their ruffling wings bloom out bulky and bold.
They scratch, they hiss, they start to dance.
They spin and swirl out colors, a line of black, a smudge of blue, and a splash of red fills the room.
The demon cats hug a breath and inhale the cold.
Soon the sun begins to rise.
Do you believe I saw that?
Believing what you feel, letting your imagination blow.
I promise you, if you did, your personality will start to grow.

The demon cat appears to exist in many cultures, in the traditional art and legends.

Demon Cat (or D.C.) is the name given to the ghost of a cat which is purported to haunt the government buildings of Washington, D.C..
The story of the Demon Cat dates back to the days when cats were brought into the basement tunnels of the Capitol buildings to kill rats. Legend states that the Demon Cat is one who never left.[2] Its home is supposedly the basement crypt of the Capitol which was originally intended as a burial chamber for President George Washington.
According to legend, the cat is seen before presidential elections and tragedies in Washington DC, allegedly being spotted by White House security guards the nights before the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln. The cat is described as fully black and the size of an average house cat; but witnesses report that the cat swells to "the size of a giant tiger", 10 feet by 10 feet, when alerted. The cat would then either explode or pounce at the witness, disappearing before it managed to catch its 'victim'.
In the 1890s the cat is said to have inexplicably vanished when some Capitol Hill guards fired at it, and another supposedly died of a heart attack after seeing it.
