So, I wanted to share a picture of our cat: this is Cmyk. We found her on the street and started to take her food. It was quite challenging just to get her trust and then to let us pet her. She's been with us a month and a few days. Everyday she see us pack and put on our jackets and she knows it's time to go to the atelier. She can run here, go over drawings, scratch a cloth board Lívio did specially for her and she's happy. Sometimes she's sleeping like this in our lap and it's adorable to be "pet by the cat" in such way. And when she purrs we melt down :)
So, I have to let you know those articles saying "cats are holistic healers" ... it's true.
