Her idea was to tell the cats' stories of their lives before they arrived at my house.
She's a great photographer, Sharon Beals, but I've lost touch with her in the last few years. She did a cat calendar every year (black & white photos) called "Cats Are..." Each calendar page would have a different adjective. My Vanilla was the December 2004 cat. Ironically, his adjective was tough, although he was the sweetest kitty on earth. His pose, with his arms crossed, suggested toughness, though.
According to the calendar on my office wall, it's still December 2004.
