Jerry Looks Out the Window

I did this painting in May, but evidently didn't post it here.  It was part of a challenge to post what you see out your window.  I chose to post my cat Jerry looking out the window.  He is a rescue cat and, as far as I know, has never been an outside cat....but he is fascinated by life beyond our four walls.  He pushes the curtain aside so he can "monitor" the back yard that has trees, birds, squirrels and who know what else.  Well, Jerry knows.  This is one of those curtains that had a rod at the top and one at the bottom, but I had to take off the bottom rod.   It's OK.  We just want to have good experiences, not a "perfect home." 

BTW, he was rescued from an apartment with 35 cats.  People complained because of the smell.  You can imagine.  I looked it up on-line and the woman who had the cats voluntarily gave them up to Humane Rescue Alliance.  He spent some time in the shelter and then with foster caregiver Chantel Sheaks.  Chantel knew Jerry and I were a good match because he likes a lot of dog things and I am a lover of dogs..  He plays catch, comes to great me when I have been out, and loves to be told he is a "Good boy.."  He's a cat, so I don't think he remembers his past, but I constantly feel he knows he has a good life with me with routines that include daily "mousey-mousey" which is Temptations treats in a plastic mouse that he bats around and that dispenses the treats.  He also loves "TV time" and watches the news with me---getting petted of course.  Recently we discovered a pate treat from Fancy Feast for a daily "din-din."  He loves it and knows a good life when he lives it!  He is a Good Boy.
