"Norman" Original Painting

Original Oil Painting by Sheila Oakley    size 8x10"

Meet Norman! He is the September kitty on my calendar, and, as it happens, he is also the cat who currently fills my home and heart with so much joy.

He is the sweetest boy, bringing us happiness in a hundred little ways every day. I often wonder why he found himself at the pound three different times, adopted and returned over and over again. Perhaps he was simply waiting for me. Perhaps we were always meant to find each other.

One of my favorite things about Norman is the way he sings after he eats, almost like a little hymn of gratitude. I could go on and on about his everyday enchantments, those charming little habits and peculiarities that make him so wonderfully Norman. He has a way of making you pause, smile, and simply contemplate his beautifulness.

Some souls just seem to find their way home. Norman found his.
