E gave me these paintings she did for my birthday. The first is one of her favourite author, Carson McCullers, the second is of her cat Casimira. Casimira is a gentle cat, a bit timid because she was ill-treated by her owners when only a kitten. She has become less so since E got her a playmate in the form of a cute tabby kitten, Scout. One of them has a penchant for bringing birds, dead or alive into the house.
