Sheamus Popoki at work

Well, his photo appears at least. The content producer at my work wanted a cat portrait on a t-shirt and asked if I minded if we used one of my cats. Of course, I was delighted to use one of them and for the design that was described, Sheamus Popoki was the best one suited for it.

Above you see the T-shirt with Sheamus on it. The green part is supposed to be brains, but whether it reads as brains or not, who knows. My fluffy boy is on Meez!

And yes, I gave him extra cuddles for it. No treats, just cuddles. I don't want him to get a swelled head and make the other two jealous :)

Sunday Sunday

Mom finished the Cheshire Cat. She's pretty happy with it, but decided not to make cards of it. She much prefers to use paint. In fact, now that her sale is over, she's planning on just finishing up some of her drawings and then concentrate on painting again. She likes the finished look of acrylic paint.

Here is her display. As you can see, she didn't have much to sell. She didn't make much money at all (less than $100), but she sold a lot of cards. We think Mom needs to somehow spread the word about her artwork. Maybe that way, she can make more money for our treats and such. At any rate, Mom won't sell at this venue again, but she will look for some weekend markets where she can sell her art. She's also working on making some cute acrylic charms of the Yin Yang Kitties.

Even though Mom isn't all that depressed about how little she made, we made sure she was feeling OK by cuddling with her. Since her feet were hurting from standing all day, Chani and I made sure she  put her feet up and stayed there for a whole evening.

I believe she was quite comforted by us. Who wouldn't be?

We hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Cheshire Cat in Pencil

I started on the Cheshire Cat. Hope to finish it tonight!

I should really not do my art in bed. Chani wants to sit in my lap because the bed is our 'cuddle place' and I can't let her because the paper is in my lap. I do make it up to her later, but I also hate disappointing her at the time. Not that she is deprived of affection or anything!

But yes, I am forgetting that my Chan-chan girl is much more important than some silly old paper and pigment

Boys in Boxes

I bought some boxes to hold my greeting cards at the next sale. Of course, Box Boy, 9, had to check them out. In fact, all 3 cats checked them out and sat in them.

9: I say, this is a lovely box. It fits me quite purrrfectly, if you'll pardon the pun.

Sheamus: I like the bigger box. It's much easier to contain my floof in this one.

Chani didn't stay in a box long enough for me to get a photo. She did sit in the same one that 9 did. But she's not as much of a box lover as he is.

And here are two pencil drawings of kitties.

I needed to do some quick drawings to fill up some frames for my sale this weekend. I already drew the Yin/Yang Kitties and then decided to do a feline face.These are not going to be reproduced as cards, so they're one offs. Now, I'm wondering how much to charge for them. The frame cost $15. So that plus whatever I want for the drawing. Oh these details are too boring for the kitties, but they try to help by inspiring me to draw more.

Oh, and I thought about drawing a Medusa for the last frame, but then decided a purple cat would be better. THEN, I thought: Cheshire cat! And there you go, the sketch. I will post the finished one when I'm done.

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Chani stakes her claim

 I was folding laundry when this happened. Um... I was hoping to not have as much cat hair on my clothes, my dear Princess.

What did you say? Your clothes? I beg to differ, Mom. This warm is mine. How could you ever forget that?

Sheamus on a Sunday

I was thinking about what to post and came across one of the first photos I took of dear Sheamus Popoki. So, there you go. One of the first photos I took of him while he was at his foster mom's place. He was such a little fluffy boy. Took me forever to realize how much he was needed in our little home.

And here he is not too long after he joined our family.

What a sweetie peety he has turned out to be. He's started to rub against me and actually asking for attention. He puts up with huggle time and allows me to love on him practically any time I want.

I love this little boy so much! So happy you joined us, dear SPAM-chan!

9 and Chani at the V-E-T

Today, Mom took 9 and me to visit Dr. S. She tried to trick us by putting out the carriers two days ahead of time. Can you imagine?

Ugh. At any rate, we both checked out just fine. 9 was super wiggly when he got his temperature taken. I was a good girl and sat very still. We were good about getting our rabies shot. AND I was good when I got me right ear cleaned. Also, Dr. S found a little notch on my tongue. Apparently, I had some sort of wound there, but neither Mom nor Dr. S had ever noticed it before. Mom feels a bit guilty that she didn't notice it when it happened. But, Dr. S said that it has healed just fine and not to worry.

Now, you know how Mom calls me "Princess Chunky Pants"? Not a nice name, but well, Mom thinks it is appropriate. At any rate, I will have everyone know that despite the fact I feel super solid and chunky, I weigh the same amount as 9. AND Dr. S said that 9 has a bit of fat around HIS belly. So, HA! I'm just perfect the way I am.

After our visit, Mom gave us all treats. Mom then bought some boxes to hold her printed cards at next week's sale. We all checked out the boxes, but 9 sat in one the longest. Long enough to get his photo taken.

I've forgiven Mom. I even sat on her lap and cuddled with her.

So, Mom is very glad that we are healthy and we are happy to be home. I even got brushed. Uh-oh, now we need to get our claws clipped. Hmm... maybe tomorrow.
