Sweetie Pie

Sweetie Pie was an old grey cat that came to me somehow as a kitten.  She was an indoor/outdoor cat who was an excellent mouser and survived bad neighbors, and dogs for nearly 20 years.  

We had her spayed but when she was around 5 years old, we brought home a black kitten, named Little Girl, that she instantly took under her wing and taught everythig she knew.  

She was the matriarch cat of the family and ruled with an iron paw.  

When she died, I created a series of images to commemorate her existence.  At first these were colorbook pages for children to print and color but eventually I began making Sweetie Pie paper mache ornaments.
