If you're looking for cats here, there are a few in this post.
This post concentrates more on the space from our perspective of being human.
Abandoned Pet Rescue and Blanco y Blanco Gallery works very well together for this event. It was a joy!

If you've not yet been to a cat cafe - meWOW! Andy and I got there early to set up and meWOW!
The volunteers from Abandoned Pet Rescue (APR) determined that three adult cats, two just out of kitten hood, and a whole little of kittens had the personality to enjoy humans wanting to give them attention. The volunteers came in with the carriers, and we heard the cats before we saw them. Yoga mats, toys, a cat condo, food and water dishes, a corral were all brought out. The carriers were set in the back and opened. Slowly, the cats sneaked out...and found all the places they wanted to visit.
At one point, there were at least 50 people in Blanco y Blanco, all holding purring cats or kittens, playing with them, walking and enjoying them play with each other. The space never felt crowded - unless you were someone waiting their turn for a cat, lol! Most of the people treats were enjoyed while waiting for a cat to be freed.
Andy & I truly enjoyed the Pop Up Cat Cafe by Abandoned Pet Rescue. It was an easy fun afternoon for almost everyone involved, including the cats! I don't know how many cats were actually adopted, but I certainly hope a few were. Non profit shelters take note: if you can find a lovely space for a Pop Up Cat Cafe closer to Homestead, Florida, yes, we'll take my Goofy Cat Paintings and help your event!
Without further ado...the photos, lol!!!!

I am sooooo excited to have my Goofy Cats featured at their event. Abandoned Pet Rescue was wonderful to invite me to share them with all of you.

Cat Cafes began in Taiwan in 1998.
It's a way to enjoy cats in a coffee shop atmosphere. The idea is for people to be able to be with the cats even if they could not take a cat home. The cats would be out of the shelters and where they could be with people. It's a winning situation for everyone involved.
The upcoming June 1st Pop Up Cat Cafe is a once event. Abandoned Pet Rescue brings their friendliest cats to an art gallery where you may enjoy their company and some fun baked goods and coffee and teas. This the only Cat Cafe in South Florida!

I stumbled upon Sister Wendy's video series while I was meandering through a Miami library. I don't remember if I watched all the episodes, but I loved the ones I watched! If you want to learn more about art, art history, etc., Sister Wendy's videos are a great place to begin. She's fun!
I mention her on my blog because her library is offered up for sale. She passed away in 2018. I can only imagine the books she had in her collection!!! WOW! Stuff of my dreams! It's a shame it's a book collection that's being split. Too bad the collection couldn't go to a library for most of us to enjoy. I can easily imagine adding a Sister Wendy Art Book Library to my bucket list of places to visit.
For more about Sister Wendy:
Wikipedia: Wendy Mary Beckett, better known as Sister Wendy, was a British religious sister, hermit, consecrated virgin and art historian who became well known internationally during the 1990s when she presented a series of BBC television documentaries on the history of art.
For more about Sister Wendy's book collection:
LONDON.- London dealer Thomas Heneage has purchased a Library belonging to the late Wendy Mary Beckett, TV Art Historian and nun, better-known as Sister Wendy. Heneage will offer a large number of books from Sister Wendy’s Library for sale at TEFAF Maastricht (16 – 24 March 2019).
After her death at the end of last year, BBC director of arts Jonty Claypole paid tribute to Sister Wendy, describing her "unique presentation style” as well as her “deep knowledge of and passion for the arts". Sister Wendy’s purpose-built library was next to the caravan she lived in and is made up of some fascinating books, on subjects ranging from Chinese paintings and manuscripts to Old Master Paintings, and contemporary art. This collection of books demonstrates Sister Wendy’s breadth of knowledge and fascination with all areas of the art world.
For more about the auction that already happened: Thomas Heaneage offers Sister Wendy's library for sale.

I heard that my area has laws against burying your loved best furry friend in your yard. I recently learned this is a law across the USA.
I also heard a story of a cat being eaten by a gator because the gator was lured by fish bait dumped in the yard.
Yes, I live in a very interesting place called Redlands, Miami, Florida. We also have pythons eating gators but those are different stories.
Hence the subject of this blog, lol, don't bury your pet in your yard. The article explains that IF your pet is found by another animal, that animal could get sick.
Trying to dig in any yard in South Florida either gets you to water or through a ton of small rocks. So the rules in the link of burying your loved pet 3 feet deep will take you a while of back breaking work. Andy & I had holes 3 feet deep dug, but they were with a rented machine to move some plants...!
As a painting artist who loves to paint your cats and dogs for you, I've noticed that some paintings are done for the memory. The first dog I painted for some was Wilson, as a keepsake memory of Karla's best furry friend. Please keep in mind all the furry (and scaly) friends that are outside, and act responsibly when choosing how to lay your pet to rest. I'm sure our veterinarians will guide us when these sad days arrive.
Anyway. If you're interested in not-gory-but-factual-details of what might happen if a pet is buried in a yard, here's the original link: Stop-burying-your-pets-in-the-backyard
