Against a background of soft purple dots, of various sizes and misty appearance, a kitten sits on a rich red blanket, with thick folds. She is a dilute tortoiseshell, with midlength fluffy gray fur patched with cream and orange. Her eyes are round and golden. She has a crooked white chin patch that trails down her chest and belly. Her expression is expectant.

Something about my Tortie, Rhiannon, demands the star treatment, the red carpet, the compliance when summoned, the blatant adoration.

I can do that.

Two gray tabby cats face off over a crumpled spring green blanket with a wand toy lying across it. The cat in front and to the left has their back to the lens, showing a muscular build and considerable fluffy white underbelly. The cat across the crumpled blanket is leaning back, ears pointed outward in consternation. The background is mossy earth, with rock chips, and trailing green vines.

The brothers' bold reimagining of "The Sword in the Stone" caused a stir. Critics were taken by the bold casting.

Lou was the older Arthur. Bud, the impetuous youth he tries to counsel.

Against a background of tall, but not wide, evergreen trees that offers a view of a distant pond, with a fringe of mountains in the misty blue horizon, a day of fresh rain. The foreground is an expansive empty deck in reddish wood, holding most of a reclining gray tabby cat, with creamy underside and large dark ears, front paws held in front of his chest, and green eyes focused on the lens.

Bud in his mind, on a deck where there's summer.

Two cats lie on their sides on top of a quilted blue daybed cover, with the large gray tabby cat with his forelegs around a smaller, tortoiseshell cat,whose face is in the crook of the big cat's elbow, in profile looking down, nose to bed cover. She has soft gray puffy fur, with patches of cinnamon and cream. They are next to a blue pillow and arm of the daybed, with books in the bookcase and a white canvas embroidered bag. In the lower left corner there is a crumple of a fuzzy light green throw.

Lou cleans the back of Rhiannon's head, as cat besties do.

A green-tinted gray tabby cat sits on a top step, between two windows where the backlit glow off the leaf profusion outside, which has outlined him with reflected light. His front feet are crossed as he has his head turned to look behind him, face in semi-profile with wide green eyes, rear foot peeking out from a magnificent caramel colored apron, and his tail, tip up raised, rests on the left windowsill.

Against the backdrop of a sky blue daybed cover, with a crumpled light green throw on the left, with a blue pillow resting on the arm, frames a reclining cat, a diminutive dilute tortoiseshell with big gold eyes, attention focused on the top of the frame. At the bottom of the frame a big red woolen string trails away from under her, while a propped up smart phone in a sparkly purple case is facing her, for her to watch.

Rhiannon is watching her teeny tiny television, after giving Squidward a good thrashing.

In the background, candle-lit stalks of black tripods with gray sandbags, and bookcases against a cream wall. In the foreground, the light still moody, the top half of a gray tabby kitten about to fall asleep while still holding up his head. He has a bright white shirt front. Behind him, in the middle ground, the left side shows a bare wall behind the top half of a gray tabby cat, in profile, on their belly on a black desk. Their front paws are folded in front of their chest as his head droops in sleep. The edge of a laptop with with a sky-themed skin is at the kitten's elbow, illustrating Life in the House.

A photo illustration has a rusty red iron crown, tall and bulbous at the top, resting on its side on a fallen log with moss, and a background that is blurry shades of brown and green. A dilute tortoiseshell cat, dilute gray fur with cream and orange patches, seems to hover over the crown as though to scoop it up her in her paws, already full with fat red wooly strings, attached to a lurking orange felt squid.

An artistic vision of a tortoiseshell cat lying down, with front paws out, on a pile of bright orange sunflowers, with reddish brown centers. There are fluffy pink and cream clouds in the background of a brownish red sky. This links up the colors against her gray fur, which has cream and cinnamon patches on her toes and face.

My artistic vision of Rhiannon. She's like summer gardens and tall airy clouds.
