Cat of the Month, 01/08: Alex
Alex is our big old fella, around eighteen years old, weighing in at sixteen pounds. In the winter he spends most of his day soaking up the heat from the heating vent, snoozing. He grumpily tolerates his old friend Muffy, who loves to snuggle with him.
Alex is a tabby with beautiful markings on his face. I keep thinking I need to do a portrait of him from his younger days. Recently he discovered my big yarn basket in a sunny spot on the floor, and he couldn't resist. Out went some of the yarn and in went Alex. The big round basket fit his big round body just right.
