Honey the Cat (ink on paper)Honey came in through the kitchen window when I was living in Nairobi, Kenya.   She wasn’t the first cat in my life, but she was the one who taught me about love.  She made me better in so many ways.

Honey was a hit in the business class section of the Lufthansa flight home so many years ago.
