Warning: Don't let your cat "help" with your digital painting

I was working on a landscape piece in Procreate last Tuesday, had the iPad propped up while I grabbed coffee. My cat jumped on the desk, hit the screen with her paw, and somehow activated the smudge tool and dragged a pine tree across the sky. Looked like a weird green tornado for a second. Anyone else ever had a pet mess up a file in a surprisingly creative way?

@jamie770 might be onto something tbh. I used to get annoyed at my dog bumping my stylus hand but now I see it as another set of creative choices I didn't ask for.

Starting to wonder if people are giving their pets too much credit here... a cat smearing a tree across the sky isn't a creative choice, it's just a mistake that happened to look interesting. Sometimes a mess is just a mess, and that's okay.

Maybe your cat was trying to improve the composition...
