Last month, Rob and I were watching "Shark Tank" on ABC - where entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to a panel of investors. Steve Gladin pitched his idea for www.iwanttodrawacatforyou.com, where people submit their cat drawing idea and he draws it, sends it to you and posts a copy on his website - all for $9.95! He was funded by Mark Cubin and since then the website has exploded! When we watched the show, Rob and I were hysterical. Steve did a song and dance - it was exciting to watch him get funded by Mark! Rob turned to me immediately and said "Buy a drawing from that guy." So we went to his site and submitted our idea.Onyx and Tabby have now been living with Sheena for about 6 months. Tabby sometimes shows signs of possibly becoming friends in the future - maybe just to mess with Sheena? And I have given up the idea of Onyx and Sheena ever cuddling. Although the spitting and hissing has toned down, Onyx has made it clear she is not interested in any kind of friendship. Tabby is known as "The Striped Fury" due to her unwillingness to let us sleep through the night and constantly causing trouble climbing on counters and messing with the dog. Onyx is known as "The Black Devil" because although she is sweet and cute on the outside, she is a viscious mouse killer on the inside. When we rented the log cabin in NH, she hunted down 2 mice and left them as presents for me at the bottom of the stairs. And anyone who has met Sheena knows how sweet she is. We have been so lucky to have her. She loves us and the kitties and it pains us to see her wimper and whine when the cats look at her threateningly.
Therefore, what better representation of our wonderful pets than to have Steve draw us a picture of Tabby and Onyx (one with a bat, one with a torch) running after our sweet dog? The drawing is already posted and we can't wait to get the original in the mail and frame it! Go to his website to have him draw a cat for YOU!
