- It was apparently a portrait of a friend's one-eyed cat which hunted for its dinner and gave its name to my own, more gentle pet, Kotchka

- “There was lively motivation in the Art Centre
- Durant Sihlali recalls that a casual drawing of a stalking cat by one of the students inspired Cecil Skotnes' woodcut Cat (1960)”.[2] (Miles 2004)
