    My cat “Kitten” by vmrs. She’s now 19 years old and still going strong. Her fur is like velvet, she’s the softest cat, I’ve ever met.

    Thank you! I had to add a photo of Kitten in there. Might be the only way I get around to painting her!

    A great cat! We’ve also got a black long hair cat who pitches up for food nearly every day. With 5 dogs around she is very skittish.

        Good ones! There is the famous Alamo, too. Kitten is lovely and sweet looking.

        Those shoes are gorgeous! I wish I could wear them.

        That video made Sampson growl, he’s looking around for them!

        Kitten is a pretty cat but she is a bit of a devil. She likes to surprise attack. When she was younger, she would sit on the stools under the kitchen island and spring out and grab people by the middle. We used to walk warily if we didn’t know where she was. She would grab ankles too from behind couches and ottomans and wherever she could get into.

        One time she ended up jamming me in the bathroom. She wanted in and stuck her claws underneath grabbing the throw rug. Next thing I knew she had pulled so much of it under the door that I couldn’t get out. I had to cut it up piece by piece with scissors since no one was home and I had to go to work. :lol:

        Thanks Virginia!
        Good for Sampson!
        Kitten sounds like fun, lol. At least you had scissors to cut up the throw so you could get out!

        Love those hot spicy red shoes, Christel!

        Kitten sounds like she has had fun doing tricks to unsuspecting people.

        Our tuxedo, Chester, who was feral for a year before we adopted him, likes to grab or slap your ankles as you walk by. His latest hobby is to steal our socks or underwear and carry them all over the house. So if the wash is dried and folded it needs to be put up as soon as possible…

        Chester is making sure you keep on top of the laundry! That’s hilarious though it could be embarrassing at the wrong time! :)

        Had time to do the red shoes yesterday in watercolors on paper. Maybe will have time for another.
        Christel, I like how you did the red shoes, very nice.

        Aren’t they a great color! I like how sassy bright your color is, Lil!
