Little Willow Fast Asleep

For those wanting an update on little Willow, most of the time she is evil. But every evening she climbs up on my shoulder and falls asleep. She even lets me pet her – most of the time she thinks petting is an attack. But here she is being cute and sweet for once.

Mother’s Day Sketch- A Fairy Cat Family

With mother’s day coming up, and the German Shepherd having adopted a very tiny kitten, this drawing was destined to happen. Here we have a very elegant little mama fairy cat with her 3 little kittens. I just wish I could draw that mini tornado siren like wail that comes from such tiny little kitties.
Yes, little Willow has been recovering from her eye and respiratory infections nicely. She is active and loud, and very very adorable. I doubt that left eye will ever point at exactly the same spot as her right, but as an indoor kitty, her eyesight won’t be as big an issue for her. I am looking forward to the end of her quarantine so that she can be with our other kitty Hunin and won’t have to spend the night alone and crying in the other room. Of course Hunin is old and set in her ways and is sulking just from hearing the kitten. The vet assures me that she will accept a kitten better than she has accepted puppies or other cats. We are hoping.
But in the mean time I will try and get some work done on this little kitty mama and her babies in between feeding, medicating, and cuddling with Willow. It is hard to tear myself away, but I will do my best. If all else fails, I can post photos of Willow for your enjoyment.

Metamorphosis

This week’s illustration friday theme was “Cocoon”. So Saturday I worked on this little watercolor painting of a little fairy dragon’s metamorphosis. Then Sunday my huge german shepherd decided he needed a metamorphosis of his own, and has become a mama kitty.
A little 4-5 week old kitten with some minor health problems was discovered in our back yard by Wolfie and his response was to mother it. So we have adopted the cutest little beastie you have ever seen. She is right now sitting in an old check book box on my desk that is lined with an old washcloth. We are of course having to hand feed her a mixture of moist kitten food and kitten milk, and give her a couple different meds twice a day and do all the things kitty mommies are supposed to do. Although Wolfie doesn’t think that we do a good enough job at the cleaning part and washes her as often as he can. I am terrified that he will accidentally eat her since he is smaller than his muzzle and he can’t see what he is doing while licking her silly.
And of course you all want to see the little ball of fluff that has turned out household upside down don’t you? Here is Willow, our new baby.
