A gray tabby teen cat is curled with his white chin covering a rear paw, ears blown back as though in a strong wind, while his shoulders are snuggled against the haunches of a dilute tortoiseshell kitten, half his size, who is also curled up on a bed with a blue denim looking bedspread, illustrating Cats Want Respect.

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 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.

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.

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.

The background is dark brown, with a person's torso clothed in black, leaving only her extended, feminine, arm and hand, with a drawing pen held on artwork in progress. The other half of the tablet, resting on a light-colored wooden drawing table, holds a dilute tortoiseshell cat, sitting up with head moving intent and forward with big gold eyes. But there are clues that this is a photo illustration, because of her oversized outline next to the woman's hand, and the lack of a shadow on the drawing paper, since the hand has one. Makes her look magical.

Rhiannon began a Creative Muse service, and found herself in high demand at a nearby artist colony.

From slightly above and against the background of a green meter face with a red needle, labeled "Power Level." Superimposed near the bottom are the figures of two cats lying next to each other. The smaller cat on the left, is looking at the lens from under her brows, with big gold eyes and her dainty ears face outward to curve over her head, forming a smile shape. Her fur is soft gray with cream and orange patches, the midlength giving her an adorable appearance. The much bigger cat is a sleek gray tabby with faint stripes on his back. His face is almost turned to check on the photographer, with extravagantly wide, white, whiskers, green eyes, and large triangular ears, slightly forward, on alert.

A snow scene with a plowed, but still snowy, trail, running under a single giant tree, every leafless branch coated with puffy snow. While a small dilute tortoiseshell cat, swirls of cinnamon and cream in her gray fur, back and tail arched as she daintily steps onto the flatter expanse of trail, her head turned away to look down the path.

Rhiannon sighed with relief as she reached the Snow Cat trail.

But it wasn't what she expected.

In the foreground there is a beige carpeted cat trough, taking up half the frame at the bottom, while the top haof is occupied by a dilute tortoiseshell kitten. She has her head, shoulders and busy paws over the edge of the trough, attempting to snag the purple play ball at the bottom, made of some sort of woven soft plastic. She has midlength gray fur with patches of cream and orange, with a purple lava lamp and blue blanket on the black desk behind her, against a cream painted wall.

A dilute tortoiseshell cat, with soft gray fur liberally sprinkled with orange and cream patches and places, with big gold eyes rests on a golden oak surface with frayed caramel colored sisal from a nearby scratching post. She looks up from her repose, paws reaching for a stainless steel dish, the bottom covered with heavy cream, illustrating Things With Meaning.

Against the background of a golden crown made of open gold arches with a lining of burgundy velvet, there's a dilute tortoiseshell cat, gray fur with patches of cream and orange. She is resting in front of it, front paws curled in front of her fluffy chest, head looking over her shoulder, golden eyes intent offscreen, to the left.

Rhiannon knew the crown wouldn't fit her head.

But obviously there's other ways to enjoy it.

On a background of white gift boxes wrapped at the corners, in white paper with gold dots and blue irises, there lies,on her back, a dilute tortoiseshell cat with fluffy fur, has her face lying on its side, eyes closed and her whiskers held to suggest a satisfied smile. She is a soft gray with swirls of cinnamon and cream. The larger cat, his gray back to the camera, has his large head on her belly. All the way in the back is the rest of the Tortie, who has her rear legs in the air, rear paws covered in creamy patches of fur.

It has green and white stripes and a green handle, with a fluffy end one paw is clutching to her chest, illustrating Provide a Daily Triumph.

Her eyes are closed, her ears small. One is crumpling under her head, against a sky blue quilted daybed cover, striped with sunlight slants, illustrating Cats Who Earn Titles.

Shot from the side, a dilute tortoiseshell cat, with gray fur with light patches, is lying on her side on a light wooden dresser top. Her belly faces the pale wall and her head is alert, with upright ears, staring with big round eyes at some human fingers touching her paw. The scene is backlit with pink finger undersides and the cat's face prominent, from a light source below the surface which holds the cat.

Two cats are shown with their heads resting against a red sueded blanket with blue bedding glimpsed beneath. On the left, a small gray cat with patchy sprinkles of cream and orange has her eyes closed, in profile to the left. On the right, there's a gray tabby, head tirnef to show a cream colored jaw and the inside of a pink ear, face averted so he can touch the other cat with an extended, slender, paw.

Shot from above, two cat toys lie across the top of the frame, the one near ther top is a fat red woolen string, tied to an orange squid with different colored tentacles. The one the cat has her paw upon us is a green and white striped fabric strip with a fuzzy end toy she is touching. The cat's head is all that is visible, ears comically big above gray fur, with cream and orange patches decorating her toes, all on a quilted sky blue quilted daybed cover.

Rhiannon is pondering. Favorite old toy? Or fascinating new toy?

Hint: she is not sentimental. Squidward it will be.
