Found between two bad ideas

A Drawn
Cat

A pencil drawing of a wide-eyed tabby cat face with one spiral eye, one dark eye and a crooked toothy grin

Pencil-born, paper-fed, and fully unqualified for indoor life.

Known Details

The available evidence is mostly graphite, notebook fiber, and a face that refuses a second draft.

Made By Accident

Nobody planned the cat. A pencil stalled during arithmetic, found two ears, and kept going until the paper developed supervision.

  1. First mark

    Two ears appeared before the pencil had permission.

  2. Left eye

    A spiral was added to improve concentration.

  3. Right eye

    The ink ran out of patience and stayed.

  4. Mouth work

    Several corrections agreed to become teeth.

  5. Final duty

    It now watches every unfinished sum.

House Manners

A Drawn Cat occupies the nearest loose sheet and treats every margin as rented territory. It does not chase mice. It audits handwriting.

  • Desk Patrol

    Inspects pencils without touching them.

  • Quiet Feeding

    Consumes crumbs produced by corrections.

  • Night Shift

    Keeps one eye open; the other keeps everything.

A Drawn Cat

Leave the paper where it is.
