“Grandpa”
Acrylic on hardboard.
His name is actually Samson but once you get to know him he becomes Grampa. He’s 17 and in failing health but he is the unquestioned leader of his family of 12 cats who who were rescued when their owner died. The love of his life is Peaches, aka Gramma, who is 12 and who cleans his ears and tells him when it’s time to eat or go outside. Grampa is our Wal Mart greeter, welcoming everybody to his building and escorting them wherever they want to go inside. He ambles about very slowly but still manages to always be underfoot no matter where you are. To meet this magnificent old man is all it takes to fall head over heels in love with him. He’s a wise and wonderful old soul.

“Popper”
Conte Pastel Crayons on Canvas.
Popper is the cat with the Marty Feldman eyes. He always looks startled out of his wits and the markings on his nose exaggerate the apparent size of his nostrils, leaving one with the impression that he’s a living breathing cartoon. He loves to run and spends a good part of his day in the outside cattery playing with his friends who don’t seem to notice his clownish appearance.
