This is Denis and he has a Hot Pink Wash Cloth. He feels a good wash and brush up every morning without fail is the best way to start the day.
Incidentally, did you know the following superstitions about cats:
1) If a cat washes behind its ear it will rain. (England)
2) A cat sneezing is a good omen for everyone who hears it. (Italy)
3) It is bad luck to cross a stream carrying a cat. (France)
And! Did you know that in America, black and white and also grey cats are considered to be lucky. I'm very pleased to hear that as most of the cats I've drawn recently have been black and white cats!
I hope everyone had a lovely weekend! I managed to get two enormous walks in so I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself!
I hope everyone has a happy and productive week ahead!
happy new year sam! i always think it sounds cute when cats sneeze - now i know why.

You always have the most amazing posts... I adore your new pink wash cloth illustration. He's so cute and of course he reminds me of my George. Also, I didn't know about the cat superstitions! You realize you just fed my obsessive compulsive disorder when it comes to all things good an bad luck! Which I really do LOVE of course, especially since I guess my gray haired George is good luck?! That's so neat and it totally makes sense... he's been a little ray of furry sunshine since first meet. Lots of love and wishes for a great new week to you too dear Sam! ♡

I like your latest drawing Sam! He's a cutie! Interesting cat trivia. Come to think of it, I never noticed my cat from years ago washing behind his ears. And that was when we were experiencing drought conditions. So there you go! Hope you're having a lovely week Sam!
