Best Christmas present in years!

My mother. Painted a watercolor portrait. OF MY CAT.

I have the original, nicely framed - this picture's kind of bad and doesn't do it justice.

(runner-up: my boss, who gave me J.R.R. Tolkien - Author of the Century by Tom Shippey, and said it was "a little tolkien of his esteem.")

That's beautiful, and what a thoughtful gift too. Congrats!

Thank you! I really had no idea why she was asking for lots of pictures of my cat. I just figured, hey, she loves animals, she's met my cat, she probably just wants them for the family albums...
