Skinny Cat


This pin is one of several I own by the same artist. There's a look of pessimistic suspicion to the cat's face, reinforced by his rather pathetic stance: but that's often appropriate for any activity. I'm not a 'cat person' (or a 'dog person', for that matter - I'm a 'bird person'), so the animal matters less than its demeanour.

He's about 2" tall, and made of silver. I picked him today because he wouldn't damage the shirt I'm wearing: but it turns out my flight home is delayed, and I won't get in before midnight, so he turned out to be more apt than I expected.
