I have 9 cats and a dog. All strays that I have rescued. Love your art as I have said before. Perhaps I will have to commission you to do a portrait one day. By the way, my Tabby is my youngest, she will be 4 on the fourth of July, her name is Babykins Mushroom. Strange, I know. Thanx for comment. Have a great day!
