That kitten, Ziggy? He didn't make it. He developed fluid in his chest cavity that wasn't curable or operable a few weeks after he got over the surgery. He died in the vet's office, in my arms, on June 24. My daughter is lobbying for another kitten, since there are many in the area that need homes, but I'm not ready and neither is R. No other kitten is going to have the same temperament as Ziggy. I think some of his gentleness and loving-ness came from the myriad of medical issues he had. I still get sad thinking about him. I even loved his horrible stink (that went away once we dealt with his dental issues).
Now that I've depressed everyone, I want to tell you about the coloring book I am crowdfunding right now...
I'm
crowdfunding a coloring book through Indiegogo.
I really would love to see this happen properly. And to do that, I really need your support. The money is going to production costs, as printing less than 1000 copies gets insanely expensive. I also want the book to be wire or spiral bound so that it lays flat when it's opened.
There will only be one picture per page (one-sided printing), and I want to use high-quality paper that can handle markers as well as colored pencils (and watercolor pencils if you're careful). I'm also releasing the book as an eBook, so you can color digitally on a tablet, if that's your preferred medium.
Please share this campaign with your friends and encourage them to support the project - it's the only way this will happen.
Thank you.
