Meowing cat head with banner on the side

Traditional · Ribs · Black and grey · Photo

A cat head is shown in profile with its mouth open and eyes closed, drawn with bold outlines and stippled dotwork shading. A dark banner with the word meow in light lettering runs behind the cat's muzzle. The image is a close crop of the tattoo on pale skin, with a pink fabric edge at the top.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The snow has been over the sill since Tuesday, and the cat has not stopped complaining about it. Mr Hollis from the coach office says he has never heard a creature hold a grudge so loudly. Every time I open the back door he sits up on the mat, screws his eyes shut like a bishop at a long sermon, and lets out the one word he knows.

Meow, Edith. Meow. We have had nine guests stuck here now, two salesmen, a vicar who wanted to play cribbage, and a young couple who got engaged over the cold toast. Not one of them has got a sensible word out of him either, only that. I have started to think it is the only thing he ever learned, and he learned it thoroughly.

Last night the power dipped and the lamps went down to nothing. In the dark I heard him come along the passage, claws ticking on the boards, and then he stopped at the foot of the stairs and gave one long, injured complaint. Ted from room four swore blind it was a ghost. I went down with the candle and found Tibbs sat on the bottom step, glaring up at the bannister as if it had personally insulted his mother.

Anyway, the gritter came through at dawn, so you needn't fret. Tell Frank the coal bill is in the drawer under the tea caddy. I will post this with the milk van. Yours in the drifts, Win.
