You've all met my siamese cat, Sputnik, before and have heard how she likes to sit on her perch to sun herself. Here is another photograph of her that I took this week. The shadows are created by the patio door's frame.

Oh sweet sweet Sputnik. This shot works so beautifully in black & white. I think I'd quite enjoy being your cat! Sitting on my perch basking in the sun would suit me just fine thanks :)
What a great picture..Cats are so funny and very independent..They do enjoy the sun..but then again, so do I..How did I end up in Maine?
Happy SSS...

Hello

I wandered in from another site and then realized when I saw your etsy images, that I'd marked them as a favourite some time ago! I love your work (and of course what's not to love about cats!) Just thought I'd stop by and say hello. Very vibrant and inspiring site you have here.

I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely!
