I wanted to give a little update on these two. I believe they are Oriental Shorthair/Turkish Van mix. Moogle is a special needs kitty as she's a bit uncoordinated, dramatic/jumpy movements and is cross-eyed and was born with an extra ear flap which is a "four ears" mutation. It appears she was the runt and was born slightly less developed than the others. But she is healthy so far and should live normally. Sometimes she spreads her arms out when I pick her up as if she's accepting a hug and she's such a sweetie. I'm glad I kept them both. 🐾
I had this idea to do a whole series of mini canvases showing different breeds of cats, curled up asleep. I only got as far as this Turkish Van before I got pulled into something else, though! Vans are cool little guys, supposedly derived from a water-loving Turkish landrace. Oil on canvas, 3x3 inches.
This is my favorite picture of my cat that I have saved because he was definitely not supposed to be in this windowsill and I caught him being a despicable little NAUGHTY after work but he was so happy I was there he just started screaming at me, because mäther was home. Look at how intently he's looking at me. Geoffrey you were the stupidest cat on earth
