Cat nap

A plush, overfed cat has colonised the best spot in the house: centre stage on a frilly pink bedspread. All four paws splay out in bliss as the moggy snores into the pillows, whiskers twitching. At the doorway the cleaner halts mid‚ stride, mop and bucket in hand, caught between duty and admiration for such commitment to sleep. The bedside table is a trove of homely details‚ alarm clock, lamp, a half‚ eaten treat‚ while bunny slippers and a magazine lounge on the rug. Drawn in warm washes and crisp ink, the scene balances vintage charm with deadpan humour. It s a love letter to feline entitlement: when a cat decides it s nap time, the rest of the household simply works around the schedule.
