Cats are very much a part of my life, to the point that even my avatar and featured art for my userpage is of a cat.. Some see me as a kind of crazy cat lady taking in and caring for so many cats. I've always been proud of that title. If caring for cats means I'm crazy than I've got a whole asylum going on here! hehehe

This is Patches. When she stands up to rub her face into mine, a patch of colored fur (on white fur) strangely enough forms a heart, like her very own little heart emote. I thought it fitting she share a little love on here.
I'm not sure if it's allowed to duplicate the original grid a few times back to back to make a bigger canvas but I saw a few others try it so I figured what the heck.
This took me 5 hours to do, not because it was all that tricky; once I got my guide image made it was just a matter of putting in color. I guess I'm just a masochist for making such a huge image that it literally took me hours filling in color.
It looks so realistic!
