What’s Better Than Cats and Coffee?

I’ve been so blessed to be able to spend time in Mongolia this summer to visit my sister. It’s hard to believe it’s already been two weeks since I got here! Other than meeting new people and spending time with my sister, one of my favorite things to do has been to try out new coffee shops in Ulaanbaatar. You never know what you will find there—one of them even had a tank with a small crocodile-looking animal in it!

This morning, I decided to go to Caffe Bene. Of course, I had to take a sketchbook and work on a little art while I was there. (There weren’t a lot of customers yet so I wasn’t worried about taking up a table for too long.) And of course I thought, “What better animal to draw than a cat?”

So, here is my calico kitty, first as a work in progress and then complete with color.

Oh, and since we’re on the theme of cats and coffee, I guess I’d better share Coffee Cat as well… 🙂
