Love Week Day 6: Art and Architecture

I love a good story, as told by an artist, an architect, a engineer, or a craftsperson.

When I travel, I visit museums, famous architecture, and gardens.

But what's that of the upper right?…

… It's a kitten!
Well, looks a bit reptilian...

Madonna, Jesus, and John the Baptist,
in the little friend in the lower left corner…

… It's a cat!
Hmm, hard to tell from this photo, but I swear it's a cat...
the boy is holding a bird as a tease!

At the National Maritime Museum,
I searched their database for ship's cats;
This was just one example

At the Roman Baths in Bath,
Our docent displayed this photo taken in Victorian times…
Notice the cat!

Pretty girl, with a pretty kitty!

Comins Tea in Bath,
used a simple drawing of their cat Anders for their logo.
see image below

Sadly, Anders has gone over The Rainbow Bridge

Other than my family, I talked 'cats' with only two people.  A guard at the Maritime Museum, where I discussed the possibility of setting up a display honoring ship's cats; he mentioned that he has a few cats of his own, and thinks it would be a delightful display. And at Comins Tea, the proprietor told me about his and his wife's beloved cat.  Angel Anders would drink from their teacups!
