What's New
KC the Cat
| This, is Shelley’s
cat “KC”. She routinely drinks out of the fishbowl while “Sushi”, a blue
beta, sometimes actually, believe it or not, touches the tongue of the
cat! A while back, KC brought a tiny little rabbit to the front door.
The little rabbit was alive and well, but exhausted. For fear of being
caught again, Shelley and I temporarily put the little rabbit in a
birdcage outside, in the hope it would catch its breath until we could
release it into the wild again. Unfortunately, some other animal,
perhaps a raccoon, was able to get into the birdcage hoping to have a
ready-made meal. |
 |
| Fortunately, our
little rabbit friend survived a second attack on its still very young
life, but was pretty badly hurt on the left side of its face. Our first
thought on seeing its badly scarred left side and bloody eye was that it
would not survive this brutal assault.

However, I
decided to take care of the ‘little bugger’, and treated him (or her)
with a lot of tender care. I fed the little one, cleaned and medicated
its wounds every day for weeks, until its wounds completely healed, upon
where we released him back into its natural environment…but not until I
painted him of course….(

KC the cat has been a constant
supplier of “models” for my paintings…the other day she brought a tiny
baby mouse into the house. Like the little rabbit, still alive and well,
but exhausted just the same. I know it is just a rodent…but boy, what a
beautiful little creature, everything works to perfection… |
| and I
don’t want to sound corny, but try to make something like this! People
that know me, also know that I am not all that crazy about cats, but KC
(which is short for Kitty Cat) is different. She thinks she is a dog….
Regardless, KC is keeping me busy. Selfishly I am already on the
lookout for her to bring me her next victim with the purpose of
immortalizing it…. |
