We took in a foster cat this week and I can’t tell you how much joy he is giving me. He is a grade A beefcate with zero neck and a delicate little meow like the tinkling of a bell. Here he is completely owning John’s desk area. John took his work and moved TO THE FLOOR.
He likes his tummy rubbed?! I’ve never met a cat who likes that. Every cat I’ve ever known would tolerate ONE TO ZERO TUMMY PETS before TOTAL HAND ANNIHILATION. This dude fell asleep while I was petting his tummy.
The name he came with is Grayson, which is hilarious because it sounds like he owns a yacht. Pal has been calling him Rhino and I’ve been calling him Adso and John refers to him as “Mr. Grayson” because I guess he’s our work-from-home boss now.
I am slowly learning how to draw him and his crazy long tail.
If he had a podcast (and don’t worry, we won’t let him start one) it would be called The Silver Empanada and he would just discuss the fact that he smells great (he doesn’t but it’s ok).
There’s a lot of boys who love each other in my house right now.
Please enjoy this footage of a dangerous predator making their kill, scored by Pal’s wordless singing in the background.
As I am no longer permitted to do my regular work, my new boss has promoted me to the position of cheek scratcher and appreciator of his very heavy lap steps.
Trying to figure out how to draw this dense shadow.
As Sekhmet is my witness, I shall destroy you, pink jingle bird!

Oh hello there, I didn’t see you come in. Welcome to my BOUDOIR.
Cover me in cats and kiddos until I don’t even care about going outside.
Blanket monster
There is an evil snake attached to his butt and he must kill it.
This is the cat perch my childhood cat used! My mom and I fixed it up and put an extra tower on it and some fresh jute, for Rhino’s amusement. Here he is doing a strotch upon it.
He has the high ground.
He watch, he peer.
My pillow, licking his chops.
Local rhinoceros absolutely bedeviled by brief adornment of cute little collar.
Beefiest boy teensiest mew
WHERE IS THIS CAT’S NECK!?
He takes up approximately 75% of the bed, sleeping fully perpendicular to human legs, and you know what, he deserves it.
Look, YOU’RE the one who wanted to go outside.
Is there a cat in this picture? I cannot tell, because of CATOUFLAGE
He peep
No touch da leggy
His lil cat arms can only reach so far into the pull-ups box.
Displaying the drummies
If this cat was human, he’d have a big furry beard.
Rhino as a human.

Working hard at my desk this morning.
ENHANCE FOR HANDSOMENESS
What planet is this long squid from.
Is polite. Takes up only 30% of chair.
I found a grey marker with which I can now try to capture his grace.
I love my eggs, but I also must bite the eggs.
I seduce... BUT THEN I ATTACK
Death to the pink jingle toy!
Meeps
My life drawing model is a real pro.
