LESLIE COBB, CAT ARTIST – AN INTERVIEW

Here’s another guest blog from Mollie Hunt’s blog site. Folks are interested in cats ought to follow Mollie.

Mollie Hunt: Crazy Cat Lady Mysteries and more

Our guest today is Northwest Cat Artist Leslie Cobb. Leslie is an amazing person whom I have the pleasure to know personally. She is part artist, part cat advocate, and part kitty angel. Her home is filled with bright colors and special needs cats. You may recognize Leslie’s artwork from the covers of my Crazy Cat Lady cozy mystery series.
