Ivy as Caturday Art


For this week Caturday Art Ivy is our model.  I processed this photo as a watercolor.  Ivy seems to get smaller and smaller as she ages.  She is 17 this year and with CRF and being FIV+, I think that is pretty incredible.  Her fur is getting more white and her tiny  body is getting thinner even tho she is eating well - but she is as feisty and active as ever.

She loves butter and gets some when I have my muffin for breakfast and then again when she gets her sub c fluids twice a week.  She knows and waits for the butter.  She has such a huge personality - quite a character.  

We are having a heat wave and the cats spend their day sleeping in air conditioned comfort.  Hope every one stays cool and and has a restful weekend!  Happy Caturday.  

To join in Caturday Art stop by Athena and Marie for their blog hop. And we joined the Sunday Selfie by Cat on my Head.

Ivy's eyes glitter like jewels in your art! Paws up to her - I'm glad she's still so spirited at 17!
