Daily Photo: Mimi’s Aesthetic Statement

Daily Photo Reprise: Don’t Look Up, 2012

Have the basement cats become confused? Do they think they are ceiling cats? Mewsette and Jelly Bean are on the shelf above the landing that at one time held houseplants, but the time I found Mewsette stretched out up there with a big spider plant teetering at the edge, I

Some days are filled with too many deadlines, so you are treated with a few new photos of the new fosters instead of a post about kitties who need homes today. I may have deadlines, but I can still take photos. Thanks to everyone for your good wishes! There was

Daily Sketch: Lopsided Nap

I tossed my apron on my work table, so of course it became a cat bed. Mimi settled down in her usual perfectly symmetrical manner, then began sagging here and there until she was fully on her side. I began to sketch her in mid-sag, when she still had one

Daily Photo: Just Arrived

Meek Lakota and JoJo, who are currently sleeping in my bathroom. Stories of cats in need run past me all day long, every day. After I lost Kelly last year I decided I was going to take a break in fostering, and vowed to stay with Mimi and the kids

Daily Photo Reprise: Girls, 2012

“Is this seat taken?” “No, you can sit there.” Kelly is frightened around all the black cats so she usually leaves her post or moves farther away when they want to share the shelf with her. And Mimi usually rolls her eyes when Kelly seems frightened. But I’ve been working

Daily Sketch Reprise: A Tangle of Cats at the Door

Back to good old drawing pencil, my first and favorite medium. Not that they’d all keep still while I sketched them, instead I wanted to catch their energy, not sure how many or how detailed I’d get I let the sketch build itself and drew them one by one as

Daily Photo: What’s Going On Out There?

“Tell those blue jays to keep it down!” Bean thinks in his best cranky neighbor voice as he pushes back the lace curtain and looks out into the yard. “And somebody stop that squirrel from thumping around on the deck roof! Can’t a self-respecting cat have a morning nap around

Daily Photo Reprise: The Secret to Kelly’s Green Eyes, 2012

Kelly does have very bright green eyes, especially when she sits in the sun. I would never question her natural color until today when I walked in on her in my studio… “Oh, no,” Kelly said, “I’m found out!” “Well,” she concluded, “I can only say it pays to be
