My brother's cat jasper got out a few months ago. We're all sure he's passed away, I still have hope he's out there or someone took him in (which in a way pisses me off but also brings some relief. It upsets me because we have missing posters set up around my brother's area) anyways I adored this cat, 11 years with an animal is difficult when it comes to a screeching halt. My brother wanted to cremate him when he died, and it crushes me that he'll never get that chance. My brother even though he's older hasn't gone through the real pain of losing a best friend like that, the very few animals he's had, had been given away or we're strays to begin with. Now not at all is it competition on whose hurt is worse but I'm crushed, I have lost pets. In my arms, on my watch and without being able to do crap about it, anyways here's some pictures of our grumpy old sweet man

That fluffy tail and those green eyes did all the talking. I painted a solid background and cleared out everything else, so all the focus stays on her. Those tabby stripes running down her back took some patience to get right; every line had to sit just so. This was a commission painting, and I hope I did her justice.

We adopted them about a month and a half ago. Both boys from the same litter that was being fostered by a friend. Just wanted to share the cuteness.

my cats are DLH tabby cats, though i am trying to figure out what ’type’ of tabby they are.

She's only about 5 months old and will chase around a toy mouse for HOURS on end
