Cat whiskers and heart on a wrist

Fine line · Forearm · Mixed · Photo

A small tattoo sits on the inner wrist, showing a cat face made from thin black whisker lines, two small dots for eyes and a solid pink heart for the nose. The linework is clean and even, with the pink fill adding the only colour against the black ink. The photo is taken close up, with the wrist filling the centre of the frame and a hand with glitter nails at the top edge.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Sit down, the lot of you, and mind the cattle grid, because the sand's been moving all week. You want the story of Mabel? Right. Mabel was a grey tom with a torn ear and whiskers like drawn wire, and she sat on the cattle grid outside Varenne Wells as if someone had paid her to. Every lorry that came up from the coast slowed for her, because she had a way of looking at the sky that made a man lift his foot off the throttle.

The year the dust came in from the west, the drivers say she sat on that grid three days and nights without eating. Old Hennie Bray, who ran the fuel pump, swore she was counting something. Under her thin black whiskers she wore a heart on her nose, as red as a brake light in the rain. Nobody asked where she got it. You don't ask a cat that kind of question.

On the fourth night a young haulier named Joss came through too fast with a load of water for the mission. He laughed at the grey cat and the grid and the brown sky, and he drove on. Hennie lit his lamp and waited, and Mabel stayed on the grid all night with her eyes fixed on the west. By the time the sun came up, the water truck was nosed into the ditch two miles on, the dust settling over its cab like a blanket. Joss walked back along the road in the grey light and found her waiting for him on the grid, washing one paw. She looked at him the way she looked at the sky. He never took that road fast again.
