@doctordearie Finn as Venus? It’s Italian rather than French, but he fits the shell rather well.

[doctordearie]

That’s beautiful and definitely appropriate for Finn. He serves as an excellent male Venus particularly because I think he is technically a calico (red, black & white coat) which is very rarely found in male cats as I’m sure you know. He’s my pumpkin spice baby.😂 All of your art of my cats over the years is very much appreciated. Thank you so much!😻😊❤️
