Princess Nagger has been thoroughly enjoying The Warrior Cat book series – so much so, that she’s created different versions of the main character, Scourge, in clay form, paper form and even felt form.
Recently she asked me to pick up some kind of cat figure and some paint so she could make an even better Scourge to show her friends. A black panther seemed to fit the bill, and she got to work to create this:
When she was finished, she was admiring her handiwork (painting a white paw and changing the eyes to the steel blue that Scourge sports) when this conversation took place:
PN: “I guess I can call this ‘hand painted’ since I painted it…by hand.”
Me: “Yep, that’s generally what ‘hand painted’ means. And you did a great job.”
PN: “I did, didn’t I? The paw was easy to paint, but the eyes were harder to get just right.”
Me: “I think it looks great.”
PN: “Thank you. Maybe I should buy a whole bunch of cats and hand paint a complete series of Warrior Cats – and sell them. I could start a business!”
Me: “You’re a little entrepreneur, aren’t you?”
PN: “No, I just think it would be fun to make and sell Warrior Cats. I bet they’d be really popular.”
Me: “You never know…”
PN: “So, when can we go buy more cats so I can get started?”
Me: “…….”
My little Entrepreneur. What do you think – should we come up with a hypothetical 5-year business plan?

Even I admire the work he did. It looks like a true cat nice work and you really did a good job. Thank you Stacy for sharing the picture of the well-created handiwork cat I love it.
I see that she has been reading The Darkest Hour – one of the best books in the Warriors series!
I still think that her creativeness can be use for a business someday.. She really got a entrepreneur mind! 🙂
wow those look great
She really keeps you on your toes. Love her spirit.
Nice. I would love to see the business plan she comes up with on her own. Awesome job.
Fun! I like Sculpy for little sculptures for that. It works great!
That is a awesome panther!
Love her entrepreneurial spirit – encourage that! 🙂
how much?! I would buy one.
Thanks for hosting Stacy! PN did a great job painting the warrior cat, I’m impressed! Have a great Wednesday!
My son’s always coming up with business ideas too, and I can’t help but notice that it always involves a lot of cashflow upfront (from my purse, of course).
I say go for it! You can be her investor and get her some books on young entrepreneurship. There are several programs for girls and even contests!

What I love about children are their imaginations, their innocence and willingness to dare and share. We lose a lot of those things with age and allow our fear of failure to take over, oh, if we could bottle their youth!
How cute. My girls loved the Warrior series.
Princess Nagger!! I love that name!
If she’s serious about it then yea… come up with a plan! Why not!
I like the way she thinks! A friend’s daughter is very into the Warrior Cats books, and we scoured Etsy at Christmas to find something related to the series. (We did — a really cute bracelet.) So I’d say there’s a market out there! 🙂 Dream big!
So cute! Warrior cats for everyone!
She’s got some gifts there, art and a business sense! She’ll be in the next UPS logistics commerical. 😉
go for it PN! you can make one of those JA magazines. 🙂
Hey at least she is ambitious!
Love how their minds work.
Hi – new follower on LF, NB and G+.
HOpe you can stop by my blog and follow back!!!
Love your daughters warrior cat!
he he, love her spirit!
Wow, that is one professional looking selfmade cat! She’s got talent.
Very creative! Happy WW!
Very nice! I’m apparently a bit behind in the series because I am not remembering Scourge but then, I *am* 37 so I guess that I can be forgiven.
5-year plan:
Phase 1: paint cats
Phase 2: ????
Phase 3: PROFIT!
All I can say is totally awesome! A really great job.
So my husband is looming over my shoulder as I was reading your post and he shouts “Holy crap. Look at that cougar!”
I let him believe it was a real cat for a while 😉
Wow! Nice paint-job on those eyes! I definitely wouldn’t want to meet this cat in a dark alley (or have it cross my path), but the statue is cool!
I say, feed that interest!
Why not? You never know…maybe it will pay for her college education 😉
Now I need to research this whole Warrior Cat series…I’m intrigued!
The panther looks awesome especially the little evil eyes. You better start working on that 5 year plan cause she’s going places.
She did a great job! I love when my kids decide they are going to make and sell things. Except when said things just end up randomly scattered around my house.
Frankly, I’m shocked she hasn’t already written and distributed one already….:)
Am I the only one that thinks that cat panther thingy is scary? But seriously, PN is pretty awesome!
Thank you for linking up with me this week! What an absolutely adorable conversation. I cannot wait to have similar ones with my kids!
i think it looks great 🙂
glad to see she is eager to get started 🙂 love it
So cute! Warrior cats for everyone! I think it looks great
