AN ODE TO MY FAVORITE MUFFIN
Sweet baby kitten
Suckling my arm,
I love you so dearly
Even if I do
feel like a pincushion.
Your paw so generously outstretched again
It must be your trademark.
Or maybe the dribble on your chin
singles you out from the rest.
You are as soft and gentle
as a windswept cloud,
a marshmallow puff
or a whisper in the night.
You lie on my lap
Drinking in the slumber
As you drift off to never never land.
I feel so close to you
a wondrous life
entwined with all of nature.
Be with me forever my little one.
I will always need you.

This is a portrait done of Muffin 1985-2003. She was a very sweet, gentle kitty who lived to be almost 18 years old. She liked to crawl up in my lap and watch the TV program "Nature Scene" with me! This painting was done around 1987

thank you for these lovely, thoughtful words, Diane. I am glad FAA did a wonderful print job for you. A black frame really sets it off! So happy you enjoy the work that went into this. Muffin was a very sweet and gentle kityy. She waas hand-raised by a very kind farm lady.who gave me muffin for free....she had too many cats to care for. We lucked out to get Muffin. The strong-mindedness is my own transmitted through the paint...Lol!

Denise I am thrilled with the image of this personable, adorable, strong-minded (I'm guessing that from her expression) feline beauty. The quality of the card truly reflects every color and enhanced tone in your painting from those dappled ears down to a swishy tail and tucked in paws I have a nice black frame ready and I think that will put her in the limelight in any rooms she graces us with. Congrats on the mountain of well-deserved contest wins and kudos on this one-of-a kind kitty. The poem is a most loving tribute ,and for many animal lovers, may bring a little tear to the eye. Than you for sharing your unique and loving sense - , plus humor, of the world around us and your own life~!

You've just captured the soul of this cat. Poignant and so well done in the cat's fur, expression eyes, tail and slightly bowed front legs.

Thank you, Kym! Yes, Muffin was a long haired, shaggy kitty. a tortoise shell color of black & yellow. Very fluffy, I remember :-) Glad you enjoy the gallery!

Hilarious painting Denise. I like how Muffin's hair is all messed up. I could tell she was an old kitty. My cat had the "funky fur" too. Eighteen years.. yes, it's so hard when they leave us.. One thing I love about cats is they live a lot longer than dogs.. cute gallery you have! LF
