Who is Thumper?

Most cats do not know their names. Many dogs do. When I get a garden scrape, the English Bulldog {not Thumper} is right on it. It is not unhealthy, although I back it up with Neosporin. Thumper loves to get in my way when I am in the studio. Cats are curious and hungry. He is a good boy, but since we opened it up, he does not know what to make of it all. Evidently sitting on the presses suits him just fine. And then he found Marylin and she found him.

I saw him sauntering through the gardens at times, lepoard spots and all. Then I did the most deadly and lovely thing. I fed him. I do not know where he came from, but now he is mine and healthy. He is one of my many muses. After all, one cannot have too few.
