The Mighty Paw

The last cat on Earth, Blackie the Cat, survives in a land dominated by his great adversaries, the Red Elifants. One day he can no longer handle seeing his ancestors worn as trophies, and cruel words push him to commit an act that changes his life forever. A story of persistence and the myths passed down over generations, The Mighty Paw shares a tale of two opposing sides and how the Age of the Great Hate began. Sometimes, only in the most desperate of times, does healing and kindness finally arrive. Blackie the Cat (2003-2020) was the longtime creative collaborator and feline companion of artist Gary Baseman. Known for his ''Power of Purr'' and ''Gift of Gab'', Blackie the Cat was the inspiration for Baseman''s iconic characters ChouChou and Ahwroo. He co-created The Purr Room in 2019, a sound bath installation that features Blackie''s triple purr, shared with thousands in the USA, UK, and China since. His message of peace and compassion continues to this day to be an important part of Gary Baseman''s art.
