White cat face on a shoulder
Fine line · Shoulder · Colour · Photo
A small tattoo of a white cat face tilted to one side, with pink ears, a pink nose and fine whiskers. The linework is thin and delicate, with soft shading on the cheeks and muzzle. The eyes are amber and blue, and a small bell collar sits beneath the chin, set against plain pale skin.

A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction
The ring had gone missing twenty minutes before the vows, and Hannah swore on her mother's Bible that the cat had it. Everyone in the chapel turned to look at Mab, who sat on the front pew as white as a laundered sheet, one eye the colour of strong tea and the other the blue of the bay at Whitby on a cold morning. She tilted her head at us all, the way she always did when she was listening for something she didn't trust. The bell under her chin said nothing. She had stopped it with a wad of wool three days before, because a bell is a poor thing to own when you are a hunter.

Now, I was there, so I know what happened next, and I'll tell you plainly. The best man went red and began turning out his own pockets. The bride's mother began to pray loudly. Meanwhile Mab slid off the pew, trotted down the nave, and dropped something small and gold into the font at the back, where the water was still and nobody would look. Then she sat in the draught from the door and washed one white paw as if the whole business bored her.
Hannah fished the ring out with two fingers and a look of pure vindication. The vicar, who had a sense of occasion, said that a cat who could keep a secret that long deserved a blessing of her own. Mab did not thank him. She got up, shook the wool from her collar, and the bell rang once, bright as a spoon on a glass, as she walked out ahead of the bride like she had arranged the whole service herself.
So that is the story, and you can have the rest of the cake now.
