Book Review: Catula, the Misadventures of Dracula’s Cat

Published on October 20, 2012 in animal artwork, book review, books, books about cats dogs and animals, cat artwork, cats

In watching Sunny, her Cornish Rex, sleeping, his mouth slightly open to show his little cat fangs, one fond thought came to Melissa Haas’s mind: “Catula”. And referring to his lithe and angular Oriental-influenced body with his pale fur suggesting the idea of a vampire, she said “And you just

Daily Photo Reprise: Boys and Books and Another, 2010

Published on September 1, 2012 in black cats, books, cat photographs, cats, dickie, jelly bean, kelly, mr. sunshine, my household of felines

They think it’s unfair that Kelly and Dickie were featured in the library before they were, especially since they’re a (nearly) matched set! Jelly Bean and Mr. Sunshine cuddle in a nap in the library of cat books. Yes, it seems my cats mostly seem to think that books are

Two years ago I set up a library of my cat books, as described below—and my cats thought it was a great idea! Several reprise photos to come. Well, maybe my cats aren’t the biggest readers and books are just a big sleeping pill for them, or maybe they really

“Dog Confessions” and “I’d Rather Be a Cat” Winners!

Published on March 18, 2012 in authors, book review, books, books about cats dogs and animals, cat writers association, cats, dog, jelly bean

So we have two winners! I did toss the entries in the air and see which one Jelly Bean went for, but five black cats each wanted to choose the winner! Seems the others were a little miffed at the popularity of the little brother. I think we may have

Book Review and Giveaway: Cat Truths and Dog Confessions

Published on March 10, 2012 in authors, book review, books, books about cats dogs and animals, cat writers association, cats, dog, jelly bean

So which one would you rather be, a cat or a dog? You’d think we’d rather be the cats we are, but Jelly Bean was very curious about these dog things. We found that indeed we would rather be cats because we are already superior, but that some things dogs

Chris Davis of Lighthearted Press on “Great Rescues”

Published on July 21, 2011 in animal artists and illustrators, animal artwork, great rescues calendar and gift book

An artist friend purchased a calendar and e-mailed her remarks today. I was so excited to hear from a fellow animal artist and author of several books! My portraiture style is very much in the fine art portraiture genre, though I do work in looser styles and different media, but

Kelly Fell Asleep Reading

Published on August 30, 2010 in books about cats dogs and animals, cat photographs, cats, kelly, my household of felines, photographs

Well, maybe my cats aren’t the biggest readers and books are just a big sleeping pill for them, or maybe they really can absorb the content if they sleep with their heads on the books. I’ve done some (lots) of reorganizing (cleaning) lately (while I’m eradicating fleas), and I finally
