Description I ended up finding some cool bookstores while on vacation, and one of the once I went in had a store cat.... The cat would just walk around the store, ignoring completely my extended hand and calming sounds xD Than another book store sold antique books and I just got lost there in the hallways covered in books! It was pretty magical xD The idea of the painting came there, joining the experiences together
Thanks again to the wonderful uplabel atΒ followthepaws.deviantart.com/a… for uploading free cat stock photos! Couldn't do it without them haha

Ahahaha this cat. It looks like it's planning to reveal the grand secrets of magic to us... and if we break a contract with it, a tragic fate will befall us!
That cat knows something that you don't know. It felt superior to you and that's why it avoided you. You know, with cats being once worshiped as deities, it's easy to believe they know a magic world we're unaware of. Especially cats who live in bookstores.

Those light effects are pleasure for my eyes.

Haha cats always feel superior to us xD that's why they bring us dead birds and crickets, they think we are giant blind kittens that need to learn how to hunt xD
And yes, I've known that. Cats are once (and still by some) believed to see faeries, cats are sacret animals in many religions and mythologies. My favorite cat/magic connection is through Norse goddess Freya, who was believed to ride a chariot pulled by two cats<3

Oh yeah, I've heard that one! It's nice to think they care about us enough to hunt for us, but on the other hand... "You're so lame you can't even hunt..." Wow, so encouraging to have them look down on us like this.

Those had to be two strong cats... or Freya must have been quite light!

Yeah, it's an odd relationship, it's not like they don't know we bring them food.... xD
Haha or they are just some giant kitties^^ Like overgrown Maine Coons!<33

Amazing work! There's so much detail in the fur and the markings on the books. I love the mood from the candlelight, and the opposite eye colour to the lighting is a nice touch. Very atmospheric.Β Β

Oooh very nice job on this piece! I love the lighting and how you swapped the color of the cat's eye to be opposite of the lighting on either side.
