look who was on my patio this morning! we have a lot of feral cats in our neighborhood and i believe this guy is one of them. he was perched up on my pond this morning, and i went out to put some cat food out for him - i was amazed, because although he ran and hid while i was outside, he came back a few minutes later to eat the food. after that, he curled up under our patio set and took a nap. when i came home for lunch, however, there was no sign of kitty. hopefully he is safe somewhere.

tonight we attended a city counsel meeting. they want to limit the number of cats & dogs you can own. 3 dogs and 1 cat. i understand where concern comes from: how many is too many animals? but three dogs and one cat? i would not be in violation, but there are many people who would be. the problem i have is that the city is not publicizing this potential change. very few people even know it is being considered. it is very unfair. they need to address the problems associated with animals (barking, loose dogs & cats - see above). we have so many faro cats that room the neighborhood - every month there are several in the yard. address that! not that fact that someone may have two or three cats in their home.

ok, off of my soapbox... i did some gesso and paint work today. i am working on backgrounds right now. collaging to follow. i like to work on many pieces at a time. that's just how i am. many projects going on all at once.
