"Do Not Disturb"

This cat chose to live with the artist's family. And it was in an area that had many coyotes. But he still lived to be 20 years old. In this painting, he appears to have an attitude. Throughout his life, that attitude helped whenever he defended the neighborhood cats against all predators and unfriendly dogs. He was simply not afraid. The people of the neighborhood called him 'The Creature'.
Another piece by the artist, "Just A Babe" makes a wonderful companion.
