When I Got Laid Off During The Pandemic, I Decided To Start Making Portraits Of My Cat That I Later Turned Into A Calendar (13 Pics)
5Kviews
A couple of years ago, I misread an email from my vet saying that Boo would likely develop Chronic Feline Kidney Disease within 2 years. I mistakenly thought that he had two years left to live. He was 16 at the time, and I have never had a cat live that long, so I figured I would spoil him rotten during his last time on earth.
I considered the time he went missing for a couple of weeks while I was traveling back east to see family and friends. After posting flyers in the neighborhood, I found out that he visited several neighbors on a regular basis, for additional breakfasts, lunch, and second dinners.
This made me wonder about his many other lives... When I got laid off during the pandemic, I had time to paint the following images. I had enough to make them into a calendar for 2021. The calendar even got on the national news! The 2022 calendar is almost ready for printing.
Feel free to leave a comment to suggest new Boo portraits, like "Boo Hefner" or "Boorak OBooma" (those are in consideration for the 2023 calendar.)

Great selection of source material, and nice work.
Thank you! Wait ‘til you see Eboo KnieBoo in 2022!
Hi Sam, the new calendar is out! Please let me know what you think.
These are awesome! Love the detail! Do you have a real photograph of him?
I changed my profile pic to one with him in it. But he's a little hard to see.
Hi there - I have a real photograph of him and a story on my website www.themanylivesofboo.com. I also put out another panda article on the new calendar.
I want to be friends with your cat.. great work
LOL, you can follow him on Instagram, and his Facebook page is currently being set up. He is not so fond of social media, but I am encouraging him to be more active.
He wants to be friends with you, too! He is very social.
