Neighbor

I haven't meant to be away from my blog, but I'm still distracted from drawing. I'm slowly trying to get back into a routine, which I hope will happen soon.

In the meantime, The Kitties are finding plenty to do. For example, here Tyrone goes to hang out with the neighbors. Have fun!

Sailor

Comet was first to volunteer to pay tribute to one of his silent film era heroes, Buster Keaton, recreating this scene from The Navigator (1924).



And I thought cats didn't like water....

Portrait

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble focusing on drawing this summer, but the ideas are in my head and I hope to slowly get back into it now.

Kitties don't pose often for portraits, but I did my best to capture them here.

(You might notice some extra guests here. They are always practicing their ninja moves, but I will introduce them to the Melissa's Kitties family when I can get them to sit still.)

Love

This is part of Lily's nightly routine. I didn't even ask for it.

Sprout

Sometimes I question Norman's embellished memories of the day Mini joined our family. However, she does not dispute any of his claims.

Skate

One time, I came home and this was happening in the garage.

Mind

Sometimes, Simon has brilliant ideas. But, most of the time, he's just happy to see you.

Fable

Even Norman knows that these are some words to live by....

Illusion

I don't know where The Kitties are, but it certainly makes them stretchy.

Umbrella

I didn't make it down to the National Mall this year to see the Cherry Blossoms, but The Mother Kitty never misses it.

Punk

Like most cats, Ashes doesn't enjoy bath time. Yet she can't deny the funky results.

Scoop

Ice cream is always a good idea, but portion control is key.
