Amsterdam,

This is a sketch of Tijgertje - little tiger in my native Dutch -, the castrated tomcat at the petting zoo where I do my little social thing for the neighborhood, shovelling Shetland pony manure, cow shit and even more goat dung, no pay to speak of but great for my Karma...yeah, maybe I will come back a Shetland pony or Blakervelder Friesland cow in the next life instaed of a cockroach or dung beetle for my efforts for the Barrio's little ones...

Though Tijgertje was a very social cat, perfect for a petting zoo, he was feared by most of the farm's mice population who by now probably celebrate his sorry demise on top of the volunteers' breakfast table - remind me to wipe that table thouroughly next time around...

Tijgertje had been quite "out of sorts" lately, looking in a worse shape each passing week and finally had to be put down to eternal sleep...

Adios my feline friend!!!

Sad he passed but lol re his untimely demise on the volunteers' breakfast table.Jacob, the snaggle toothed devildog had a real scare as well this week. I hope you saw that your wonderful painting finally arrived, and has garnered many compliments both on and off line. . kitegypsy · 2011-07-08: 22:45
