Siamese Cat Shadows

It is not very long that I can resist photographing Sputnik and then showing her off to everyone!

Recently I moved to a smaller room for my art studio. I haven't bought any studio furnishings yet and am just using what came with our rental house. My desk is a small table. My art table is a high tiled shelf and nook that serves the unintended purpose well.

My studio has a window facing south which lights up the room well. Sputnik likes to bask in the sun in the late afternoon. I caught this photo of her as she was patiently waiting for me to put away the camera.

Great, sunny shadow and Sputnik does look a bit annoyed at your delaying her nap in the sun! Have a great weekend!

My, if looks could kill ... I wouldn't be turning my back on old Sputnik unless it was to go and get his supper!

I am so smitten with your Sputnik! You could post shadow shots of of your adorable kitty every week & I'd be happy :) Are you sure that's YOUR art studio? It looks as though Sputnik has claimed it as hers. It suits her too! I can even imagine her creating clever little works of art!

I am always happy to get a new studio space. I feel like it becomes a clean slate, before I fill it up with junk.

Oh, so glad to see you, Sputnik! :o) She looks so regal just sitting there, waiting. She has high diva quality. ;o) I love that "soul light" on the wall... beautiful! It is fun to hear about your new place, settling and arranging things. Have you been creating a lot of art since you got there, feeling inspired? Thank you so much for the lovely comment you left at my place--really touched by that. Happy Weekend, my friend ((HUGS))

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. 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! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport! I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I h
