Incantations and Victorian Cats

Next two days for the Spoonflower Doodle-A-Day challenge kept me busy the last couple days. Day 9’s prompt is old books. That brings to mind enchanted and well used tomes full of mysteries, spells and incantations. Day 10’s prompt is feline. Considering how long I’ve been a cat lover and how many cats I’ve shared a home with in my lifetime, I’ve drawn relatively few cats. I decided to give this kitty the stature of a victorian gentleman including a dapper pinstriped outfit complete with boutonnière and pocket watch.
