This is not one of my cats

It’s too big to fit in my row home.

Lioness in the heather.

Initially, this looked like a bear, but I fixed it.

Reference: lioness headed for nap.

True Confession

I once squealed when trying to remove one of these guys from my bathroom. I grabbed it by the back, and it managed to completely twist around and grab my finger.

It was unexpected.

Skzzzzzzzzt!

Why you embarrass meeeeee??

Reference: praying mantis.

It burns!

Continuing with the theme of drawing living things…

Do not trifle with fire ants.

You haven't seen fire ants until you've seen them in Texas.

I used this image as my reference: fire ant.

Cats are good at sleep.

I was advised by a friend to draw more living things, so I did. This is my other cat, Pippin, sleeping on our lazyboy, making sure the monster pillow does not escape. I rushed this one a little more than usual, as he was starting to stir a bit.

LIKE A BOSS

He was about to be industrious, but I convinced him to continue sleeping.

Did you know there is a dearth of poetry about winter squash?

Someone should really look into that.

It's got warts and everything!

They should have sent a poet.
But all they could afford was me. So deal with it.
