March 23, Rinji for Janet

 This is another delightful one to paint~ and here's Janet's story about him~

"Our boy came to join our family at the age of 6.  He was a recently neutered Tom who’d lived his life (up until the St. Paul shelter) on the Red Lake Reservation. I was smitten the moment I met him!

"We re-named him Rinji, a Japanese boy’s name meaning "peaceful forest." It suited him perfectly.  When he first met our other two resident cats they hissed and fussed at him.  He simply backed up, lied down, and kept a soft gaze on them. Rinji was the most emotionally intelligent cat I have ever met (and having volunteered at a cat shelter for more than 10 years, I’ve met a few). He adored people and other cats and was funny, gentle, loving and truly kind."
