Ever since the passing of our dog Jack http://imaginationcreations.blogstream.com/v1/pid/315253.html#TP, Faline, our wild cat has become incredibly affectionate and tame. She already was somewhat tame, but now, much to the delight of the girlies, she can't seem to get enough of us.

While outside, every step we take, she races in front of us, turns sideways, and stops. I can't tell you how many times I've nearly fallen flat on my face for this silent cat zooming in front of me. Yesterday, I took the girls on a shopping spree. They have both collected plenty of cash from gifts and we decided to go spend some of it. One of the things Madeline bought (at Michaels), was a craft kit to decorate a pet bowl. Today it was decorated. She shared with Tara and they both came up with this beautiful work of art.

This is Madeline's half. It's so beautifully colorful...

And this is Tara's...

I love this detail of "Faline" Tara painted. The head and body are her thumb prints .
