Illustration Friday: Caution


Beware of fat flying cats who taunt neighborhood pooches!


This is a repost of my very first "IF" back in 2006 for the word "trouble."

The name of the illustration is "Taunting Spot."

I have seen a cat appear to be flying off a 6'tall fence to pounce on a bird. The cat really looked like it was flying. Cute Caution.

"Cat"-h-"art"-ic exercise for that big kitty.

Debbie Egizio said...

Oh yes, poor Spot, he needs to be extra cautious! Cute!

Brilliant. I couldn't decide which of your posts to comment on and this one made me laugh so much. It happens to my dog, not just with cats but squirrels, pigeons and even mice too. He is a terrier but (luckily) cannot seem to catch anything. I think they all know this and taunt him mercilessly!
