An Artist's Best Sidekick

     And Baby makes 3!   Ha ha, I bet that got your attention.  Of course. when I say "Baby", I mean this sweet little fur baby, who we named Baby.  She is the latest addition to our home and she's fabulous, so I decided to tell you all about her.

​Baby has been with us for about 4 weeks now.  She came to us very young, at about 5 weeks, just a sweet, tiny ball of fur.  Now she's a 9 week, eating, sleeping, cat-itude machine!  She eats like a small horse, loves snuggles, insists on sleeping in our bed and is into everything, and I mean EVERYTHING!  But don't let that sweet little face fool you, she may be tiny and beautiful, but she is lethal!  She will attack anything and everything, her current favourite prey is my hand for some reason (apparently I must taste like meat to her, no surprise, I'm pretty sure I'm mostly meat).  She's fearless and a little cocky. She knows she's fabulous and has no problem batting the neighbour dog, an affable little poodle named Sammy, on the nose to prove it.  And when she's done batting him, she climbs all over his human, just to make sure she's made her point.

​But the best part is that she's my new painting companion.  I can't really say she's an art fan yet, but she sure does love to see me paint.  Every time I head over to my easel, she follows and just sits and watches, mesmerized.  It's probably just the motion of the brush in my hand, but I like to think she's fascinated just watching me paint.  When I'm not painting, she'll often meow at me and run over to the easel, and jump all over it, as if she's telling me it's time to get to work.  She's really something.  So now I have two beautiful attitude filled little ladies in my life, and that suits me just fine.  ;)
