A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Ada Pinnock had cut the stencil sheet for the Black Cat Tavern in one wet afternoon, using a craft knife and the back of a tea tray, and by closing time the cats had decided they liked the pub better than the sign. Ron, the landlord, swore he had seen the big one on the bar stool by the fruit machine, sitting upright with its tail wrapped round its feet like a man waiting for a bus he had no intention of catching.

The trouble started the week the brewery sent a new painter from Leeds, a bloke who wanted the sign redone in gold leaf. He scraped the old stencils into a bin. The next morning there were a dozen black shapes flat against the whitewashed wall behind the bar, stretching, sitting, one of them washing a paw with the concentration of a judge. Nobody could say how they got there. Ada pointed out that a stencil, once cut, goes where it likes if you leave it out in the rain.

So the painter was sent back on the train, and the cats stayed. Ron left the side door open on Thursdays for the lads from the bowling club, and in return the cats kept the cellar free of mice, and the big one never once lifted a paw for a bill. On the last Friday of the month, when the jukebox ran out of songs, the cats came down off the wall one by one and crossed the floor in a line, and Ada, who had come in for a half, swore on her mother that they danced. Ron didn't argue. He turned the lights down and let them.
