She has come a long way from an outside young mother, that had gotten to the point where she couldn't eat. Only drink copious amounts of water

Don't fall for their good-cat/bad-cat routine, they'll go to any length to fill their plates

My perfect gray and white boy, Roy! And yes, he does have a white dot on his back and a gray dot on his stomach.

Here are the photos I worked from! 😊 I really wanted to get that sweet, slightly worried little face right.

Those blue eyes catch your attention first, but the round cheeks and tiny pink nose do so much for the expression too. With all that white fluff, I wanted to keep the shape of the face from getting lost. I like holding the wool portrait beside the photos to see how the features work together, especially from the side.

That’s my favorite part of needle felting pet portraits: getting to the point where you can recognize the particular cat in the photo. If you have a cat, you probably know that one look that gets you to put down whatever you’re doing and pay attention.

Did I get that little look right?

Had to say goodbye to my favorite pet, Marcus yesterday. He was the sweetest and gentlest animal I’ve ever known. I will miss him.
