I found an old black and white photo of Queen Isabella, my first cat. She was always on alert and very regal. The litter box had to be immaculate, her food bowl very clean. So when I painted her I surrounded her with flowers and added a bindi on her forehead. Issie would have wanted nothing less! She really liked the boy cats, and as she was very attractive, she had many boyfriends. She owned me for 15 years. I hope your with Leo, Issie, I miss you both.
