Kittens for Kerry!
Oberon and Puck were diggin' it!


Now it's time to get ACTIVE! Volunteer for the campaign! Write letters to editors and advertisers on RW programs in protest of their attack machine and bias! Donate to MoveOn and other worthy organizations! If you won't do it for America, yourself and the ones you love, DO IT FOR THE KITTENS!!

4. Oberon is big and silver striped, Puck is small and brown spotted
a gallery:





(Maine Coon and Turkish Angora, if you were wondering
)
Miro was also watching (he loves TV) but he was under the coffee table (he hates the flash)!

17. Heheh, had I only known
that Puck was a "she" and not a "he"! I was assured that Puck was male when I got her (at three months she looked younger than one month-it was pretty had to tell anything). She probably would have been Titania had I known the truth-but Puck suits her prefectly. She's a total imp!

10. Oberon is something else
He is incredible! As are the other kitties too - but Oberon deserves his own kid's book.

11. Awww..thanks!
He's my big baby; only a year old, with LOTS more growing to do (it takes Maine Coons up to five years to mature). He may look majestic much of the time:


but this better captures his personality:


He LOVES to be held and begs for playtime most of his waking hours. Maine Coons may be huge, but they are probably the best breed of cat for families with children (sort of the Golden Retrievers of the cat world-very gentle and patient). You can see his family members at www.heartshaven.com

Here's a fully grown Maine Coon (he's a whole lotta pussy)!:


Lol! I just got hired by Scholastic books to do illustrations for children's books. I even submitted one to them that I authored and illustrated recently, but I never thought of doing one about my fur kids. I'll give it some thought ;-).

Here's a couple of my illustrations:

12. Thanks for sharing these
what a gift you have!

Love them both but the elephant could be a print. It doesn't objectify or patronize the elephant but reminds us they are creatures with inner lives too.

You are really talented and I'm sure we'll be seeing your work in the stores!

13. Thanks KT2000!
Actually, you already see my work in stores. I do almost all the Princess illustrations for the Disney company (many other feature film characters too. I was once an animator for them). It would be nice to have some of my own stuff out there; and not just on t-shirts, sleepwear, playsets and Dixie cups!

26. You're very talented
I hope you don't mind if I save the one with the elephant. The colors you used on the elephant ears is outstanding. Really Nice Work!

8. Folks at my salon were for Kerry, too
Tonight I went in for a haircut at my salon which is usually buzzing over movies and celebrities, but never real current events. Well, tonight all the hairsylists were buzzing over Kerry's speech! Some were going to TiVo it, others "had to watch it live, because this is a historic moment"! They all kept talking about how hopeful they were of disposing of the boy king.

That was even more amazing than my three cats watching Kerry's speech for nearly an hour, lol!

15. Well, they say animals better judges of character than many
humans, and now the kittens have proven it! ;-)

19. Two Kerry Canines pondering a repuke kitten
Well, to be honest I'm assuming she's a repuke. Her owner (my neighbor) is most certainly a Repuke. I suppose she could be a Dem. since she spends most of her time in MY yard. She probably thinks her owner is a moran, now that I think about it ;-) . Kittens are pretty smart!



:hi: Jen! Hugs to my Goddess Kitties!

24. OK, what's the deal with cats and toothbrushes?
my Puck loves to try to chew on my toothbrush right after I use it. I've tried giving her one of her own-nope, she has to have mine! If I don't hide it from her, I'll find it on the floor in the morning. Ick!

28. Lol! Actually, she was pretty frustrated
I hardly ever turn on the big TV in the library, the set I watch is usually a tiny one in my studio. The cats all just LOVE visitors, especially Puck, who thinks everyone who comes to the house is her plaything. Since the camera stayed on Kerry, they seemed to think he was another visitor. The other two cats just enjoyed the fact that the visitor seems to be talking to them, but Puck wanted to get him out of that box and play, dammit! She was running from side to side "can I get into the box? Why won't he come out of the damn box! Argh!" I think she was getting a bit pissed in that shot, lol!
