"Sara Holding a Cat" 1908 by Mary Cassatt. [Mary Cassatt was not only a great American artist, a great woman artists, but a great impressionist.] This could of been me when I was a child. Every summer when I went to my grandmother's house she would have a new litter of kittens for me to play with. This was very special. You see I was allergic to cats and was not allowed to have them. I just adored them. They were so sweet. There pink little noses and paws. The way they purred and cuddled with me while I read. There was a new group every summer. What happened to them after I left I don't know. As I grew up I learned this was a true act of love on my grandmother's part. You see she was somewhat terrified of cats.
