Artist ID, cat painting, Asian signature?

I don't know the size, don't have it in front of me, but roughly 18" x 24", I'd guess.
Anyone recognize the signature or the work? That bottle has San Miguel written on it.
Thanks for your time

 

Reminiscent of things I remember seeing in the 1970s.
Even the signature looks familiar

I like it.

 

Thanks so much cluttered, I like it too, it looks a bit like my cat in my avatar, lol. I haven't purchased this (yet), because it's not cheap, so just trying to figure out if it's worth it or not.

 

That cat looks peeved about something.

 

Lol, yes he does (I think it's a he) I love the way his tail wraps around the beer bottle.

 

I like this art work and would want to buy it too, if I were you *hearts*

 

What does not cheap mean - 100, 200, more?
You do see the damaged places? Not bad, but pointing out the paint chips might get the price lowered.

 

HA HA!!!! Probably the bottle's empty!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'm wondering, is that a drinking straw or a string of drool from the cat's mouth to the bottle?

 

Margaret (Hill) Alcala LOVES cats. She gave me one of her cat paintings Christmas, 2013.
She would buy that one just to destroy it.
I don't totally dislike it, myself, but also not attracted to it.
I'm glad to know it might have a good home soon, though.

 

Thank you all!!
Cluttered she wants $200. I did see a couple of paint chips and would try to negotiate but was just hoping to ID the artist first to know if I should even try.
Lauragarnet, I think it's drool, lol.
Aquitaine probably so, me thinks, Hahahaha
Hearts**** back atcha antidiem!
TOG, that's funny! I'm sorry you don't really like it, hahaha I do though!!

 

That kitty is definitely the antithesis of the Pity Kitty paintings. Very quirky. And angry.

 

Who is Margaret (Hill) Alcala? Is she famous?

 

Does the seller not know who the artist is?

 

I don't think it is an Asian signature.

Looks like CHH

@verybrad
Do you know?

 

Hmmm interesting cluttered I had not thought of something like that! No the seller doesn't know, she said she bought this at an estate sale about 15 years ago and at some point a relative tried to ID the artist but never did.
Lauragarnet.... love that.... Pity kitty!!

 

No inkling at all on this. Kind of reminds me of a more refined Bill the Cat.

 

I like it.
I'd offer $150 cash and point out the paint chips and see what happens.
Worse that can happen is she says no.

 

Maybe $140, I just took a closer look at the frame. Not in the best of shape. That would be 30% off what she is asking.

 

Let us know what happens if you can!!!!!!!
