Oh that one is even more fun than the previous drawing!  And making me think back to seeing Michaelangelo's David on a trip to Italy with my parents in the 1970s....

Inktober Prompt 12: Covered

Miniature.

When Cat joins Mouse for their first communal shower, it makes sure everything is covered: umbrella and wellingtons.

Of course, I'm surprised that Cat isn't completely covered (raincoat with hood, umbrella, etc.) -- because, of course, water....  

I remember how upset the cat that adopted my parents was about being sent home to his ACTUAL owners, who lived diagonally behind us) in the rain (and, in the wintertime, in the snow)....

Well, it wanted to partially participate in the experience.

Oh the poor thing. Once our other cat was caught in a thunderstorm. She was soaked and miserable,but enjoyed all the attention when we dried her off with a towel.

There are some cat breeds that like the water or even go on boat or surf board with their owners. 😊

[inkstainedruth]

Yes, I'd heard that some cat breeds like the water, but none of ours (or the one that adopted my parents) really did (although the Maine Coon rescue did like to stick his paw in the water bowl at times...).  Of course, since he was not only a rescue but I think perhaps had been a "show" cat, he drove the other cats crazy because he never really understood stuff like when they (especially the calico and the torties) would growl and hiss at him -- mostly when they did that he'd just look at them with a sort of confused expression as if he was going "What?"  And of course with the cat that liked to play "obnoxious little brother" -- who would stalk the two girl cats, and when they'd stop, he'd stop and then eventually run up and poke at them?  Byron (the Maine Coon) was more like, "Oh -- this is a GOOD game!  Now I get to follow YOU, right?"  Only because he was so much bigger and with much longer legs?  He'd go galumphing along faster than the other boy cat, and then sometimes actually LAND on him -- and the other cat would have this expression on his face of, "No, this is NOT how this game is supposed to work!"

@inkstainedruth funny story.  

 

Another take: 
I'm having a lot of fun with this Jinchen Purple Forest. The ink is so beautiful. 

Covered
Cat & Mouse take their first shower together. Cat wears its wellingtons and grabs an umbrella. I wonder if, 20 years later, Cat will get used to water and take a shower instead of grooming itself, while Mouse adapts to Cat’s grooming.

@catbert This one is HILARIOUS!  Love it!  (I needed a good laugh after the fairly insane day I've had.... )

Oh, I can't wait to see the result(s) for this one!  My mind is going in two different directions as to how the art will turn out -- because I don't know which one (if EITHER) is more likely....
