A few more smiling cats....
Just wanted to share a few more illustrations.... I think I am getting into a groove with this. More cat chat coming soon! We are hoping to TNR another feral cat colony this week. In the meantime, I'll be illlustrating as much as I can. This goal is to complete one a day. Better get crackin'!

Back from the Beach!
We returned from our wonderful beach trip yesterday evening. It was fantastic, as always! I truly think that i was born to be near the water...i am a Pisces after all!
Maybe one day we will own a little cottage by the sea :)....that's the big dream anyway!
I really needed a break from the cat madness, but lo and behold, guess what showed up on the deck at the beach???!! You guessed it, kittens! On Tuesday, two feral kittens came out of the vegetation on the dunes. We didn't have any cat food, of course, so I put out some turkey and bacon and fresh water. By the end of the day, we saw 4 kittens and once it got dark, the mama arrived! I was putting tuna in a bowl on the deck and she came right up to me. It was pitch black out there, so i nearly jumped out of my skin. I could just see two eyes glowing back at me. Over the next few days, I kept watch over them and fed them. It appears that they had been living under the house in the shade. That's where i found mama most of the time. Brian got up at 5:30 one morning to watch Tiger Woods, and he saw 5 kittens plus the mom and another adult cat (probably the deadbeat dad :)). The kittens appeared to be about 10-12 weeks, and it really looked like the mom was already pregnant again. As you can imagine, it killed me not to be able to trap them all and at least get them spayed and neutered and vaccinated. We flew there so i didn't have my traps with me and wasn't equipped to do anything for them except feed them and worry relentlessly. I just emailed a rescue group that is a few miles off of Oak Island to see if they might have a TNR program. It would be wonderful if I could get someone to help them.
Anyway, here are some photos for you guys to take a peek at.
First little one creeping up to the trail of food...
The pretty torti mama!
Mama and baby enjoying a canned food treat under the house...
The gorgeous view!
Heaven!
Me and my parent's pup, Louie....cutest dog ever. He was an Atlanta rescue that had been terribly neglected and now he is spoiled rotten!

Munchkin sweeties in my Etsy shop!
I finished up these two cuties and just listed them in my Etsy shop! I was dying to get these done before i hang it up for the week. I LOVE cupcakes and cherries, so I decided to add them to their little clown outfits. Pure sweetness!
I'll probably post one more time tomorrow before we head to Caswell Beach in North Carolina on Saturday. I am SOOOOO excited!!! I am ready for some sun and sand and rejuvenation. My mind and heart need a break from the cat craziness before I hit it hard again when we get back. My next adventure involves TNRing 40 cats at a correctional facility here. THAT should be quite the "tail"!!
