Boy, did I love this cat! I painted his portrait, carried little tiny Polaroids of his face and stared lovingly into his eyes everyday. Folks would be like 'damn, you are obsessed with that cat!' and I would be like 'isn't everyone?'. Anyway, the picture is easily 15 years old, back when I used to make him fanciful collars (which he loved to wear - he would get really mad when our other cat Paddy would try and fight them off him). I was thinking about his gorgeous face and wondered if it was time to get another cat......maybe I'll just wait awhile longer. He would be a hard act to follow.
