Is Mimi tired of being considered just a “Little Black Cat”? Seems she decided to try something new this morning to add interest to her sleek cocoa fur—a waistband of a Victorian leafy pattern. I find it very becoming. And very inspiring. This could be a new and exciting thing.

My “old man”, Stanley, at the age of about 24, enjoying the warm bricks and sun in the garden on April 30, 2006. Spending more and more time in my garden in spring, and especially yesterday, a bright and warm day much like the one you see here and my

Dickie somehow tucks himself into the “cuddle cup” cat bed, though you can see he’s got a few parts that don’t quite fit, but he’s in there, and he’s happy. Even though I’ve already featured a photo from a previous year today, as I was working with Mewsette’s photo reprise

I received word last week from one of my portrait families that they had lost Milan in his years-long battle with diabetes. I’m always honored to be included on the list of those who receive the news, and I often hear how glad the family is that they have their
