This week in art class. And: Cats.

I was working on a stormy sky marshland landscape with reflections and (I hope) a battle.   But it's not done yet.

However, I did paint this portrait this week. I don't think I'm quite there yet with portraits, but this one is a lot better than some of my efforts.  This one is called 'But what if Gimli was a hot dwarf???'



We have, if all goes well, arranged to adopt a pair of kittens.  We meant to leave it till the New Year, but... well, it's weird having no cats.  We just aren't a household that doesn't have cats.   So, we've reserved a 14 week old kitten and an 8 month old from a local rescue, subject to us passing their homecheck, which I hope will be OK!  The kitten is black, and we're going to call her Gothmog.  I've always wanted a black cat called Gothmog.  The older kitty is very nervous after a bad start and will need some confidence-building, but I'm hopeful we can manage that.

I hope Rosie isn't going to be too outraged.  Plans for extra dogs will have to wait a bit until the kittles are settled.

Oh, also, I am In Charge again this weekend as Pp is off at Dragoncon.  I hope nobody buys anything complicated!

Hurray for kittens! I'm sure your homecheck will be fine and you'll be great at the confidence-building. I eagerly await photos.

Extra dogs* sounds like a great idea, too!

*:o)


Meant to say: I may never think of Gimli the same way,

We will see : it may be that there's something that will make us unsuitable for these particular kitties, but I am hopeful!

Kitties first, then I shall consider the whole dog situation once they are settled in. Tempting though it is to adopt ALL THE PETS, it makes sense to bring in cats so that any new dogs will have cats in situ when they arrive. Also I can't afford ALL the pets :-D

I am imagining a new dog remarking to a slightly less new one "I see we have cats in situ."
