To all of my mother's Renderosity friends:
It saddens me to no end to tell you that my mother, Mina, passed on May 31st, from endometrial cancer. She is survived by my father, Roger, and myself. I apologize for not letting you all know sooner, but her passing has left me with a broken heart and it is very hard to write this, even now. I don't suppose there will ever come a time that it will be easier.
I know how much she loved you all, how much it meant to her to have met such wonderful people, and how much it meant to her to create & share her art with you. I am leaving her work here for a while, as tribute to her, her beauty, her talent & her love.
Brightest Blessings to you all!
Heather
Ă‚Â Mina's daughter
Thanks to all for stopping by and hope you enjoy your visit.

I have already settled it for myself so flattery
and criticism go down the same drain and I am quite free.

Oh! Sweetness. If I were you, I just find another place for the fruit. He looks so comfortable, like he and the basket were made for each other. ;) I am such a sucker for animals. Hugs Mina and Killian! Suzanne

How sad. Your Kitty is a basket case. Do you hold out any hope for a cure? :O)
DeathTwister
HAhahaha yes, where are you? and want to see you curled up with kitty next /winks....Wow nice kitty hun /hugs Mine is just an old war horse Kitty that lived at a Bar that my puppy dog picked up Lady Gray and brought her home (Mota's Kitty), Ya I know Dogs and cats do not get along together, Derrr not so, they love each other very much, in fact all my animals will curl up together and Kitty will get in the middle for fun and warmth, so that blows the theary out about dogs and cats not getting along, dogs just like to chase kitties is all, it's fun /winks. Now I need coffee as I just woke up Yawn......

OMG, he is soo adorable :) My cats do the same with our fruit basket.. or any other baskets, or whatever they find, what's worth to rest ^^
A_Sunbeam
If he gets any bigger it'll be a question of a "quart in a pint pot" ... And I'll bet you bought him a special basket of his own which he studiously ignores!

I adore the cats, they preserved my mental health in Algeria, I adore them by definition... my two she-cats know it well, but they adore the armchairs, the paperboards or the linen closets!!!
