Ravana in the Sunshine

Spring is coming and it's Ravana's favorite time of year. Ravana is a fairly shy kitty, so when he needs alone time he sits in the window, especially on a sunny day. I adopted him when my cousin's daughter brought him to a barbecue to try to entice my cousin to keep him-- they thought he was a female because he was so small but when I realized he was male I said I'd take him as a companion for my older cat. Ravvy is a beautiful fine natured cat who loves his older buddy Simba I think more than he loves me, which is okay. He's a climber, and is constantly on the counter helping me make dinner, or on my workbench assisting me with my projects. He's also an attentive TV watcher. He is very shy with strangers, especially women and will run and hide behind the toilet or the litter box when someone he isn't used to comes to visit. One day I will do a painting of him as I did with my other cats; he has such personality I know he would make a fabulous subject.
