Princess, my barn cat buddy.


It was a Princess morning--my evil barn cat friend.  This is the 3rd time I tried to sketch her--and the first time I a satisfied with the picture.  Unlike Thunder, she doesn't have the facial markings or much contrast in her fur to rely on.  Everything is more subtle--plus she has an oddly shaped head.

She was terrible the other day.  I thought I heard a cat crying in the tackroom.  I thought it was Tommy, the nice barn cat.  I opened the door to see if he was locked in it.  Princess dashed in after me.  I picked her up and carried her out.  I turned around to close the door and she ran back in.  Well, I didn't want to lock her in, so I picked her up, again, to take her out.  She turned into a wildcat!  Hissing, growling and struggling to get free.  I put her in the aisle and shut the door.  She kept hissing and then lounged out and swiped my legs.  I don't know why I like her.  She made up to me a few minutes later.
