I am most definitely a cat person. I've loved cats since I was too small to hold them properly. I have a very vivid memory from when I was three or four of picking up and snuggling a Siamese cat in my grandparents' front yard. That is when I discovered I had an allergy to the breed. My arms were covered with hives! I remember sitting in our kitchen just sobbing my little heart out because I was so itchy. No contact with any other breed ever caused such a strong reaction, so for years I avoided Siamese cats. I've grown out of the allergy, thank goodness, and I still attempt to pet and snuggle every cat I see.
Of the big cats, tigers are my favorite. Their beauty and graceful movements are almost hypnotic. I could watch them all day. I drew this one based on a frame from a video I took at the zoo. It was a hot day, so this gorgeous feline meandered over to the pond in the enclosure for a nice soak. I love how his mid-stride legs turned out. I almost expect him to finish taking his step!
The first zoo animals pack should be ready to upload this weekend. I'm so excited to share this one!
