Since I've had Shylo 12 months, she'll get 12 photos on her 9th birthday. Laundry day means clean Shylo towel blankets, which she found for a bit before I put them back on her two favorite shoebox beds.

Shylo had been in the animal shelter for a week when I met her, and I brought her home the next day, one year ago today. In a matter of minutes, she made herself at home, exploring everywhere! She didn't need my energy shots, either.

One year ago today, I adopted Shylo from the shelter. They told me this sweet girl was 8, so I'm making today her 9th birthday! She's getting even more spoiled than usual today. Her weekly moist food treat disappeared rapidly.

This is my custom portrait of Edge the adorable ginger cat! This portrait will eventually become a shiny foiled print, and this particular style helps foil release cleanly from the print.

Another one from 2007. We found Ruby lurking under a deck. She remains the most feral of our (indoor) cats. File under ‘inscrutable’…

Apparently, it's National Pet Day, so I'll play. Here is my Shylo, a beautiful orange cat lioness. I adopted her from the shelter 363 days ago, they told me she's 8, so her 9th "birthday" is Sunday!

The sun had the audacity to move on Caturday Saturday, AND you're going to work? *SIGH* FINE. Be sure to pick up more treats when you come home. I need my 23 hours... goodnight.

Shylo has no time for her toys when there is Caturday Saturday sunshine to bathe in.

This is one of my first brightly colored cat paintings, "Content Kitty"! It set me in the path towards discovering my color voice.
