Rakke and Castro both died three weeks apart. 3 years ago when they moved on. ![20260226_115524.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mandragora88/23xp6kwiZwMAP1YFaQtnhWcanC2DfZB5MACH4d6yGP5cX9kFAuQvqrbpoBAsXPYgA1s36.jpg) ![20260226_115547.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mandragora88/23wWvs7VuuTUYdKYfTge4AGYJZQK4VH25fZpMyTrDuxQpwX6dTfn1CGFvHT1rhAv2sRxU.jpg) Now she has come to me and really moved in. Iris is a large Norwegian forest cat. ![20260226_084823.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mandragora88/23uFRuXjgnWRvzPAXHP5E7hU4tGpk5Xfbpae61NkqjTPY74fpDKa7WKxkckvCiSvtwBnQ.jpg) ![20260226_084915.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mandragora88/23tc1H68fxJAqdqiuQX9DST2mTRNNMiDjFF36DL1k69tv4RqStKmFC1SsRAJyfgD19tRV.jpg) ![20260226_084927.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mandragora88/23xKxZRcekfHE3qgpnRECDnXL5TgFoYbjzMxXjwX5eE8wFLvEpBz7K881uv1byEHmAASH.jpg) Fate's lottery who could have imagined it? Iris has had a litter of kittens, one of which is Lovis who lives on top of me. It is my daughter who has Lovis. Fate's irony! Both are from Malmö. Iris is a real beauty!!! I have never had (Purebred cats before, only farmers..) ![20260226_115547.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mandragora88/23wWvs7VuuTUYdKYfTge4AGYJZQK4VH25fZpMyTrDuxQpwX6dTfn1CGFvHT1rhAv2sRxU.jpg) ![20260226_115840.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mandragora88/23tvioZoUxnUtE1NDgVGwDVVzGU86ZyACVmqpZpDcjdp1rfjuRqr1utdwriNUs8uVudXv.jpg) ![20260226_115859.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mandragora88/23uFW8L3w5t6SHyfnwmMTtrTesdGBzovudk4ss2fDT4AiZVazziDVReDWk5jnMz64fLJs.jpg) ![20260226_115932.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mandragora88/EogNPqGY9i4WXexHqNUtJ1KEoqSkRqfW2dftCZg8BVwqSSF942ZvBBRRQBApAYAnWew.jpg) ![20260226_120017.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mandragora88/Eo6LNuS4aABWWhnUuMpMHRw2WTNY7VeuCLqjxQFzEQE8zWAz5oZSe1TsMrGxiMr5Yh6.jpg) ![20260226_120510.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mandragora88/EowGfAcFbnJDcwHJb7dH2gUy6ayFRFjiXduxqDkBGZ3BCdS1maEzmF6VYoSh2baaAUW.jpg) ![20260226_120546.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mandragora88/Eos1nxfhGFY8xDHgA5WuXddx2SjepdVRhVX3BDiTxKRhpDEBw9CYsCVYegVNqnjLA8X.jpg) ![20260226_120611.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mandragora88/Eoc83R3xd4tvLbGX9vREBurCYLMJXUubkAGdnHE8TbNXi5WCUNttwjWnEvyE1mmjtb5.jpg) ![20260226_120802.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mandragora88/EokdYYHhPRjM2eksnMmzWe4vwaVSd1bMR7xfQPtqqDC84bEBGFeeJaStMg1teZQPDXR.jpg) ![20260226_120204.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mandragora88/23tbwUsUHZCEUbRcLjPSeZQXK6ankxQbZHueDawbPFat9RFfe3UmMbKYix7A2pKyMoodh.jpg) ![20260226_120056.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mandragora88/23u67P82UCBRuoTWvHppauVbptpUYpZXa8xizbdLrQJMQ6CLLZqbPrvxuyFFNEW7hGRiq.jpg) No wonder I dedicate this painting to Bastet, the goddess of all cats. Bastet was originally a lioness (goddess of war) With age she calmed down, and kind, as only a cat can be. Today is my 70th birthday which I will celebrate with my little family! Seventy you can imagine.... That was all folks! ![20260226_114602.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/mandragora88/23wX1Ko8DgzYoYdMcJMMNBwVFPYShxzNjwaxwntvjExgPYYgckqiahQjbRKNnWind9DZM.jpg) ---

Lejon gudinna Bastet Iris I mitt sinnes tempel har jag besökt så gott som varje dag sedan mina katter, mor och son. Rakke och Castro dog båda med tre veckors mellanrum. 3 år sedan när de gock vidare. Nu har hon kommit till mig och riktigt flyttat in. Iris är en stor Norsk skogskatt. Ödets lotteri vem kunde tänka sig det? Iris har fått en kull ungar vilket en av ungarna är Lovis som bor ovanpå mig. Det är min dotter som har Lovis. Ödets eroni! Båda är från Malmö. Iris är en riktig snygging!!! Jag har alldrig haft (Renrasig katter förrut, bara bönder..) Inte så konstigt att jag tillängnar denna målning till Bastet alla katters gudina. Bastet ursprungligen en lejoninna (krigsgudinna) Med åldern lugnade hon ner sig, och snäll, som bara, en katt kan vara. Idag är det min 70-årsdag som jag ska fira med min lilla familj! Sjutti kan man tänka sig.... Det va allt fokl!
