Black cat with curling tail

Mixed · Photo

A stylised black cat sits upright with its long tail curling above its head, its blue eyes narrowed and whiskers drawn out to each side. The cat is filled with solid black ink with a soft shaded finish, while a pink collar and blue tag add colour. Grey swirling flourishes and small leaf shapes sit below the cat against a plain skin background.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The landlady had already packed the good spoons when Mrs Pim settled on the hall mat and declined to be moved. Mr Halloran, who had bought the boarding house in Margate for the sea view and nothing else, stood over her with a cardboard box and the face of a man who had been promised an empty building.

She wore a pink ribbon collar with a round blue tag stamped with a sunburst, and her tail curled above her head like a question mark that had already decided the answer was no. Each morning for a week the removal men tried to shift her. Each morning she was back on the mat by the time the kettle boiled, eyes narrowed to blue slits, watching them as though they owed her rent and were late with it.

On the seventh day Halloran sat on the bottom stair with a cup of tea gone cold and found the letter the old landlady had tucked in the bread bin. It said only: She was never mine to sell, Walter. She came with the building, the way the damp does. He laughed at that, then stopped, because the wind off the promenade had blown a drift of dry leaves in under the door and they had arranged themselves in curls around the mat, as neatly as if someone had drawn them there.

He unpacked the box. The next afternoon a card went up in the front window in careful capitals: ROOMS TO LET. ENQUIRE WITHIN. CAT INCLUDED.
