Among Turnbull’s favorite subjects were animals. Of cats she wrote: Cats with their delicious curves, superior ways and inventive and relaxed attitudes make particularly fascinating subjects for a sculptor. I have done them in marble, done them in wood . . .
Of all intriguing subjects, kittens take the lead as the most bewitching of God’s creatures.
