Laurie Hardin: The Halloween Calico

Monkey-Cats Studio

These are the reason for "Monkey-Cats" Studio receiving the name. Pretty cute when they were kittens but they are now 9 years old, still think they are kittens and try to fit in the same spaces on my studio table. For some reason these two have very long tails like a monkey and received the nickname monkey boys from my husband. We are sure they can swing upside down by those tails! Their real names are Jake and Elwood, after the Blues Brothers, because they try to do the right thing but they are just naughty.

The Halloween Calico

After a very long wait for paint to be put on this little kitty, "The Halloween Calico" is finally finished. This little cat is my girl, Glycerin (Nitro was her partner), that tolerates the two Monkey-Cats I imposed on her. She pretends to be irritated with them when we are watching the three together, but when she thinks our eyes have been diverted, she loving cleans their faces and lies on the floor to play with them. She is such a phony!!!

I portrayed her in her party mode when she is all smiley (yes, I swear all cats are capable of this), and ready to take a swing at Jake and Elwood for play.

Hope she makes you smile!!!
Laurie
