Petburbia: Sesame the Stealthy Sumo Wrestling Ragdoll Cat

1/31/2019

Minnesota Pet Portraits Cat
"Of course, I'm the king. I wear a crown and look majestic in my lion's mane."
Sesame's story is one of rags to riches. He and his sister Pepper were born in the Minneapolis Animal Control center and sent to a foster home through Pet Project Rescue.
They found love on the internet when a family saw their pictures and brought them to live in their historic, lakeside home. The cat siblings also discovered a wealth of affection from their new human triplet brothers (Joseph, Zander, and Benjamin).

Although he looks like a Ragdoll breed, Sesame enjoys keeping active watching, catching, and destroying dancing ribbons and feathers. He's not always the most graceful, like the time he ran full tilt after a toy, slipped on the kitchen tile, and crashed head first into the cabinets with an epic thud.

Sesame's favorite past-times include stalking his sister, watching water and licking the drips, opening drawers, creating cat chew toys from craft supplies, and hiding behind furniture to surprise passers-by with a swipe of his lightning fast paws.

Petburbia: Mitzy the Unusually Uninhibited Tabby Cat

"These boots are made for walking." 

Dressed to go out with snowy slippers on her front paws and white boots on her back paws, Mitzy is a cat about town. 

While this Tabby enjoys hanging out with her people in her own territory, this adventurous lady will (somewhat) happily wear a leash to boldly follow her people into the unknown.

Mitzy also thinks humans are fascinating and will eagerly greet almost anyone with a delicate sniff and a reassuring head bop. People who smell of yummy food get priority acceptance with Mitzy.

Petburbia: Peanuts the Boxing Bovine Cat

​"Rules and roles are meant to be broken."

Willfulness. Yep, willful describes everything about Peanuts. This is a cow-coated, domestic cat with his, oops, her own mind. 

Actually, Peanuts was considered to be a boy, right up to the moment the vet called with x-rays in hand. "Peanuts is a girl!"

Born in a barn and abandoned, Peanuts adopted a new mother who bottle fed her until she got stronger. You'd think that well-seasoned farmer would have known about the boy's and the girl's stuff, but Peanuts never does things like you'd expect.
The "no fur where there is food" rule doesn't seem to stick with this frequent kitchen counter surfer.

And when you try to pet Peanuts, she prefers a boxing match -- up on her hind legs, front paws in the sky, and ready to go ten rounds.

A finicky eater from the start, Peanuts prefers to separate her chef's medley kibble by scooping it out of the bowl, eating her favorite flavors, and leaving the rest to scatter across the hard wood. The dog is the only one who approves of this activity.

Petburbia: FAQs

So, the original paintings are for sale?
  • Yes! Pet parents get the first chance to purchase the original artwork of their pet.
What are the specs of the original paintings?
  • Each painting measures 8 by 10 inches. They are painted on professional grade Arches 140 pound, cold pressed watercolor paper. I use a variety of professional grade watercolor paints from Winsor & Newton, Daniel Smith, and Holbein. I also use Prismacolor ink and pencil.
Are the original paintings sold already framed?
  • Yes. Each painting is finished with a white mat and black frame measuring 12.75 by 16.75 inches. Watercolor paper is delicate and can easily get marked or marred. You may have seen watercolors sold at art fairs in a plastic sleeve with a backer board and mat. Rather than buying a bunch of packaging that ends up in the trash, I prefer to spend just a few dollars more for a frame, ready to hang in a gallery or your home. Once you purchase, you can change the frame if you prefer and reuse, regift, or donate the original frame.
