Description
This is a commissioned work of Roo, a handsome tabby cat. He is one of 11 cats that his owners have adopted from shelters in the UK. Here is what Roo's owner has to say about him:
"We adopted him from a rescue centre and they had named him Victor. As he was a mature cat approx 12 years old we decided his full name would be Victor Mature (after the actor!!!) Thomas. I thought he looked very dashing like a one eyed pirate so first I started calling him Buckaroo the pirate then it just went to Roo."
Roo's owner goes on to describe how they came upon him in the shelter: "On the day I first saw him we were actually picking up a little sister for our first fur baby Babba and while we were walking through the Cattery I decided to walk to the end of the row. I was told there was nothing at the end as there were so few cats and kittens at that time waiting for homes but something just made me walk down and there he was all alone, no cats in pods beside him and none in front of him. Just totally and utterly alone. The first thing I saw was that he only had one eye, but less than a second later I saw the one he did have and oh.....it was the most glorious beautiful shade of Amber you have ever seen. Well I insisted that I hold him and said to hubby I don't care what you say he is now my boy and is coming home with us. After settling in our new girl Squeaky we went back two months later and picked him up...along with a beautiful little girl my hubby saw the same day. Well I couldn't very well demand Roo and not let hubby have what he wanted. So, that was the start of it and six years later we have all these beautiful babies plus hedgehogs and foxes who we feed and life is great!!"
I have to say that I fell in love with Roo too while creating this image.
