Cozy Kitty

Why is it that sleeping cats always look so warm and comfy? I saw this guy curled up in a basket in a store in California. He looks quite content.

Truman

Our barn cat Tiger had a friend we named Truman after Truman Capote. This cat was intelligent and sensitive. We think he was a writer in one of his former nine lives.

Tiger

6 x 6, oil on gessoboard

When I was a teenager, I desperately wanted a cat for a pet. So when a little tiger-striped cat moved into our new barn, I was thrilled. She knew how to catch mice and stay clear of horses' hooves.

We met this happy soul at the Iowa State Fair. Maybe he was dreaming about the fried butter!
