When I saw the ceramic cat, I thought 'This is not a cat.', which reminded me in turn of Magritte's paintings done around the theme that a painting of something is not the real thing (for example, a picture of a pipe with the caption, 'This is not a pipe' -- in French, of course). I decided to fill the outline of the cat with the word 'Cat' in different typefaces. Somewhere along that path, it occurred to me that it might be interesting if one had a glass cat with type in different colors embedded in it. The different colored type was achieved by grouping a layer of the original cat with the type layer. The glass look came from a One-Click Wow layer effect. The table is a fill transformed with the perspective tool. The background is a combination of a sky gradient and rendered clouds using colors picked out from the gradient.
