Description
Despite the date, this is not a Halloween cat, even if she is black.
She is Akemi's much loved cat, a real beauty.
Akemi (nongo here at Renderosity) is a sweet Photography lady.
According to her: Sophia is such an important
cat to so many people. It's amazing how many people have been touched by
her.
She is now 17 years, and that does not show on this beautiful cat. Just look at her eyes!
Thanks for viewing, comments are always appreciated.

Seventeen! Very impressive. The painting is almost photo-realistic. In fact I initially mistook it for a photo. Excellent work!
Beautiful cat with incredible eyes and a fantastic portrait. I thought it was a photo as well. One of your best Gunsan :)
What a wonderful painting of a loving cat. You did her justice
She truly beautiful Gun. What a great pose too, giving those beautiful eyes the most wise look that comes with age. Your did a wonderful job painting her and I love your background work too.
So beautifull!!!!!!!!
Amazing image!!!
OMG Gunsan, you've completely immortalized Sophia!!!!! You've really honored her by this amazing portrait!!!! Your talent is beyond words and your heart is as big as the moon!!!!!!! I really love what you've done here! Thank you soooooo much my dear, you truly are an angel!!!!!!! BIG HUGS!!!!!!!!! Akemi By the way Sophia is all grey, she's called a Russian blue...
She's sooo beautiful!
Oh Akemi, she is a Russian Blue? They are beautiful cats. I once had a pair, a male and a female. The former owners got a baby, and the cats did not accept the baby, so they had to get a new home. I have never met so shy cats. Especially the female cat, she sat under my bed for three weeks and dared not to come out.I had to feed her under my bed. The male cat was more brave, but it was clear to me that his was the wrong place for the cats. I broke down in tears, I felt so rejected by Akira. Later they came to a home where they had two more Russian Blue, and it worked much better for them.
Such a beautiful painting. I had a cat that lived to be 17+ and my brother-in-law just lost one who was 20. The cats are part of our family. I wanted to get a Russian Blue but I got a Maine Coon and she is a sweetheart.
17 years old and still as adorable as a kitten. What a gorgeous cat!!!! Russian blue huh? Stunning portrait...and amazing paint job once again. I can tell you made Akemi truly happy. #:o) Ha en trevlig onsdag!!!! #:o)

wowwww!!! Excellent photo and very beautiful cat!!! Good day and happy halloween ;)
a true masterpiece, ecen though I trust dogs more than cats.
A gorgeous work of art. I see Akemi was very pleased.
Cats and humans share a unique symbiosis. They are among the most beloved of pets, and yet are the least well understood. One may never really be sure what thought process is taking shape behind those gleaming eyes... A beautiful portrait, Gun; you have caught the essence of this magnificent creature! FIVE STARS
Delightfull work....
One of the best kitty portraits ever! The eyes and light are amazing. 8']
I like this paint effect.....
