The other day I was working at my computer and we had a power surge which resulted in a 40 minute delay to get it up and running again. It also happened that at that time I was feeling a bit creative so it didn't take long for me to find some scrap paper and start doodling.
I started doodling a cat in a real simplistic form and then took inspiration from my moggy who sadly is no longer with me - I still miss her and I still miss the smell she had round her neck (strange I know but when I cuddled up to her and nuzzled her neck, she had the most wonderful smell).
So in honour of my moggy I have a little characature of her which I will share with you tomorrow. Here are the doodles I created in order to get to the final version, which I have since glued into my sketchbook with good old PVA. As she aged, she became somewhat portly (don't we all) and a little bit chubby. I recall one time I took her to the vets as I was worried about these 'flaps' appearing on each side of her and the vet kindly referred to them as love handles. Don't you just love it that cats can get those.
Anyway, as she was somewhat rounded you can see from my doodles where I got my inspiraton from. And here's a picture of Pippa - my lovely, beautiful cat.
Sorry for the bad photo's of my doodles, the light wasn't too great!This is also my entry for Sunday Sketches this week - please head over to Sophia's blog to check out the other wonderful entries. And this time next week it will be Christmas Day - yay!

Oh your moggy is a sweetheart and you've honoured her well with your drawings! I feel your sadness in no longer having her. My cat passed away in summer, and I miss her dearly.
