Thanks for the companionship, buddy.

Sorry to hear of your loss Sgoti.
Sounds like he had a good long life with you.
Know that Moses will be waiting for you when it's your time to
be with the Good Lord.
Blessings,

Sad.

Always terrible to lose a cat. My sympathies.

He lived a real long time though! Well looked after and loved!

Thanks, Gary.

Looking back, I can honestly say no regrets. In the end, perhaps that's the best any pet owner can say: "I tried to do my best by you, and you gave me your affection and companionship. We both knew were loved."

Very true Glenn.

We have four cats at the moment, and one is my faithful modelling companion - always comes and stays with me on the table when I work. Watches, but never touches!

Sgoti: I know exactly how you feel. My dear old Auntie Emm (a jellcle cat) went to sleep and died peacefully there on her pillow at age 19 +. She was about 8 weeks old when we adopted her. A companion, a talker, and sometimes a righteous PIA, she was there for almost 1/3 of my life.

She, Moses, and Mister B ( along with Oskie, Alvine, and Zenny the Zee, my late cats) are over the Rainbow Bridge.

It is hard to have had a lot of cats over 30 years, and not shed a tear or two at their passing.

Thanks for the shot out Ringmaster.
That's my ME-109 re-paint for 2015.
I can't seem to do one without at least one Kitty on it.
This one has more.
Hope Scott keeps it up for a few more days for
folks to enjoy.
Best Regards,
Gary

I've had four kitties (not counting the kitten that the neighboor killed). Of the two males and two females, I cried at losing both females, but not for the one male. The other male is 6 years old, and going strong.

I am so sorry for your loss, Sgoti. Making that decision is the hardest thing in the world.

It seems wrong to turn from Moses to my modeling progress, but I took advantage of a snow day to finish up my Lion model. I like this designer's style, with asymmetric poses that give the illusion of life to these little models. The first picture is while I was still building, showing that the left foreleg is positioned slightly forward of the right. The second picture shows the completed model, and the third compares him with the Jaguar. They seem to be in scale to one another; the Lion's noticeably bigger. BTW, as with the Jaguar, the inside of the legs is designed to be left open, probably for gluing access.

Nice clean builds there Ann. These Premium models are looking to be much superior to the Creative Park models. Especially in the action posing. Is the artist's name on them?

That missing inside leg is a pity, but it doesn't look to difficult to rectify. I'd love to have a go at pimping these up a bit, but I don't think I'll be buying a Canon printer just to get at them. Nothing against Canon, but my A3 capable Brother MFC all-in-one with a CISS unit is hardly run in yet.
