Miss Sassafras


I decided to have a little fun today and link up to Random 5 Friday  I've been a good illustrator and have been linking up to illustrationfriday for a couple years now.  Not today.  Today I'm sharing 5 random facts about this naughty cat. 

1) She is named Hana after the quiet town at the end of the Hana Highway on Maui.  The dangerously twisty but scenic road is what life is like with this devil cat.  It's a fun journey.  But you have to be on your guard.  She can outwit a rocket scientist.  Outplay a toddler high on birthday cake and infuriate a Buddhist monk.  

2)  This tongue photo is photoshopped.  But not in the way you might think.  The tongue is real.  I just didn't have a digital file of it.  Only a poorly printed old photo.  Random fact?  She has a long tongue of course!

3)  One of her nicknames is little Froggie.  Because I remarked when she was a teenage kitten that her skinny little legs looked like frog legs.  Not anymore.  She's a jumper. (she's jumping in the photo)

4)  Her newest nickname is Miss Sassafras.  Because of all her sassy cries.

5)  One of her cutiest habits is leaving fuzzy socks by the front door after we leave the house.  Smile.  I'd go on but that makes 5!

Hana is beautiful! I loved reading about her. She sounds so fun! I love cats so much. I enjoy watching them, imagining what they're thinking, cuddling with them. Ours keep us laughing!

What a pretty kitty! She looks like she can get into some mischief!
Hungry (and bored) kitties certainly make for some mischief. I've found that out the hard way!

cats are such entertaining critters. I've had cats off and on about all my life and most have been good ones but once in awhile you can get a 'devil' cat which I did a couple years ago. She was just too much for me. Hanna looks like fun.

Hana is lovely! Long tongue, sassy attitude and all. :) I think it's good for us females to be assertive and jump high!

That is funny about the jumping...because when I got my cat, as a little kitten, I named her "Kanga" short for Kangaroo because she was such as jumper! :)

Calico cats and Black and White cats are my favorite. Neat idea to do 5 Random Facts about Hana.

Now that's a real tongue all right! Glad to learn it was photoshopped, because the expression made me think she was getting ready to eat ME! :-)
