We have two beautiful cats and a sweet dog.  I don't have a painting of
our young cat -- Monet -- but she is a beauty too. There's been quite a 
bit in the news in the past week about "cat ladies" and yes I am one.
My husband is a "cat gentleman" I guess by the American Republican
definition.  

So this is Fiona, and here's to cats -- one of the most delightful animals
on the planet. Smart, affectionate, tidy, funny, playful, loving.  The best.
Love our dog make no mistake.  Plus our dog Sally loves our cats, and they love
her.  If you have a cat, or cats Happy International Cat Day.

Have a loving your life day.

Thank you so much Laura. Wow 4. Beautiful names. We have two Tortie point Siamese cats. So lovely. We also have a mostly white dog. I do wear black, but I have house clothes, and going out clothes. Can't wear good clothes around our animals. Yes. Here's to cats. Love your work!
