I didn't like the cat anymore. I wanted it to be immediately apparent that this was a birdbath, and no thought to be given it at all. The attention is to be on the birds, and I was afraid too much thought would have to go into "What's that cat thing there?" Besides, it's a bit too much period. Finally...a final drawing. I got rid of the soaker and replaced him with a standing bird. I wanted the cannonballer to be noticed last...as a sort of punchline to the "joke." Hopefully, it's thought of as a joke.
