But how come they’re all gray cats? Why no orange tabbies?

RACISM!

How did he get the cats to remain so still while he was drawing their protraits / S

The man is extremely talented. Hard to tell them from B & W photographs. The detail on the hair is astounding.

They most certainly do.

As for the pictures, I just saved them as my new screen saver. Thank you Slings!

My Shannon does a type of installation-art, involving the regurgitation of food.

I’m excited for the Kitty Halftime show at the Puppy Bowl today because on the promo, there is a (finally) a little Meezer kitten. BTW, I have two. One a pure bread blue point and one a beautiful little lilac point rescue from siameseresue.org.

I’ve volunteered to shuttle kitties twice and would do it again in a heartbeat. I can’t foster any because I just don’t have the space.

As you go through their site to see the cats available, there is a search function. Type in VA5118 and you can see my Lilly’s baby pictures. Hard to believe she was in a shelter.

They also have great cat toys at great prices and all the proceeds go to the organization.

I have a S. Anderson pencil drawing of a famous guitarist which folks believe is a photograph. She is extremely talented and expresses her genius in many venues of artistry.

One of my favorite books when I was a child was about a cat named Miss Sniff. It was all illustrated with pencil, or charcoal, drawings. I passed it on to my own daughter, and my grandchildren enjoy it.
