Hank is the store cat, working hard at his usual duty station at Doc's Do It Best Hardware in the small town of Albion, Indiana. He spends his time sleeping on this stack of boxes near the back of the store, when he isn't hounding the employees for food or giving unfriendly looks to the customers.
A few minutes before I made this photograph, I photographed one of the store's employees giving him some kitty treats. After he ate the treats, he let me pet him for a little bit. When he realized that I had no more treats to give, he walked away, laid down on the floor, and stared at me for a bit before going back to 'work' on the boxes of well pumps!
Hank isn't totally lazy; he does catch the occasional mouse that gets into the store. He eats all but the head, which he brings to the store employees to dispose of!

All of my prints are available framed or unframed. I use black metal Neilsen & Bainbridge frames with white cotton unbuffered museum board for the mat and backing board for maximum archival protection. Photographs are printed on an Epson pigment printer using Epson's archival ultrachrome inset for long life.
