For Bea

Earlier this month we lost our gorgeous, irrepressible, acrobatic, fastidious, eccentric, and deeply sweet cat Bea. She was fourteen, and wildly vital almost to the end. She joins Penelope and Maulina in the land of infinite treats. The painting below is by my friend Cyril Kuhn, an amazing Swiss-born, L.A.-based artist with a flair for Old Masterish animal portraiture.
