Lion Around

This is a photo that I recently took at the Houston Zoo. I must be on a cat kick, since I have painted several cat paintings lately. I do love cats,always have. I could not even begin to tell you how many cats we had on and off while growing up. My mother,bless her soul, was a pushover for any and all strays. We kids could go without another pair of shoes or a new winter coat, but that poor animal had to go to the vet and have us as their foster family until someone else decided they wanted to adopt it (and we lived in a subdivision in town). After us kids all grew up and moved out, my parents moved to the country, purchasing over 8 acres. They had cows,ducks,a donkey once, and Lord knows what. They also possessed the most popular drop-off-driveway for stray dogs and cats. Many generations of kittens were born on their property. I like to think my mom is in heaven, in charge of those who never found their way to her and my dad's little humble place, where no animal was ever turned away or abused.

Proverbs 12:10


"A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel."
