Personally, I can’t keep writing about cats on new posts every other day, because it’s driving down the art side of my blog and that is how I pay the bills for cat rescuing. I’d love to talk about kitties all the time, but I need to consolidate it for the sake of my art business. So here we are….

Oh, how did she get to be called Lucy, you ask? Well.. because she’s mostly black and white…like the TV show, I Love Lucy. Yeah, it’s stupid, but when you are rescuing feral cats too, then you can be more brilliant.
