Nicky is gone

Nicky lived a good 20 years. The end came on Wednesday, 11 January 2012, in the afternoon.

I love cats!

say good-bye

Lumpy, the cat who would let me do this to him, is no more. After four days in the hospital for pancreatitis, he lost his feistiness, didn't care if anyone touched his belly anymore, and became the lump that going to the hospital was supposed to avoid happening. The house is unpleasantly quieter now.

if only life were so easy, eh?

This made me smile.

Watch and smile. I think the cat with two legs on firm ground has the best understanding of how to deal with life's unceasing flow of stuff to get done.

PS. If the thing above doesn't work, try going here.

You've seen this man's "Cat Man Do" animation. Here is "Let Me In."
Enjoy.

christmas lump

Lumpy, the Cat, was gracious enough to model his Santa hat in front of the nine-foot Christmas tree. Yup, nine feet. Hard to see, but it's all there. However, you can see how happy Lumpy is about the tree. And the hat.
Peace to all.

lumpy's view

A friend of mine found a wonderful link to a website on which a woman had done nearly all of the research to understand copyright that collagists need. She tends to have a better-safe-than-sorry view of what is useable by the collage artists and does equate it all to the music sampling example, echoing my view. Find the site here. I would hate to see any part of my own work in anyone else's without them having asked for permission from me.



Meanwhile, Lumpy had found the warm spot on the library floor, next to the couch skirt that was closest to the hot air register. I have since moved the furniture for the winter so that he doesn't have to smush himself to get warm.
