Cat#1
This summer I read Wesley the Owl and I was impressed with how difficult it is for a human being to cohabit with an owl. They eat lots and lots of mice, and only mice. They mate for life and in the case of Wesley he mated with the author of this book, Stacy O’Brien. This seems to bode well for my cat who is planning to start a relationship with an owl. They both eat mice. They are roughly the same size and they are both willful creatures.
It is time to choose the best cat drawing so I can start on my second mosaic in my quest to illustrate the poem, The Owl and the Pussy-Cat. Please take a moment to take the poll and let me know which cat speaks to you.
Cat#2
Cat #3

I voted for the second pussycat because she looks quite content. I like her eyes and she seems to be smiling.I tried to post a reply but had no luck. Bryna
Hey Lisa,
Great post!
I chose cat #1 – because he reminds me of Mickey. A bit aloof, a bit snarky. All cat. All the time.
Cat 3 seems friendlier to me with his pose and stripes.
I chose cat 3, currently leading in the poll. Cats are notoriously indifferent to humans seeking their attention. They are aloof and mysterious. Unlike Marge, who finds cat 3 friendlier, I think he/she looks meditative and inscrutable. Like most cats I’ve known. But that’s just me.
I’m the second replier on the poll and still think #1 is best (serene, implacable, hard to read) but all 3 look slightly odd to me and I just realized it’s because of the round pupils. Cat pupils are vertical linear slits that only look round when they are fully dilated, which would be in the dark.
It just occurred to me…maybe it’s okay if the whole story takes place at night?
Thanks for all of your comments and votes! I am thinking of giving the cat millefiori eyes which will be fanciful and not at all realistic. We’ll see which direction I end up going with the eyes…and maybe having the story take place at night would be great for both of these animals who see well at night. And the owl is nocturnal….
