Cat # 11 (illustrated by Kai Martin)

In Dream Of A Thoursand Cats, a group of cats gather in a cemetery to listen to the tale of a wise storyteller cat who recounts here visit with the King Of Dreams and offers a glimmer of hope to other cats that they can shed the shackles of domestication and one day rule the world as their ancestors did.

This is one of the cats that listens to the storyteller cat’s tale.

He appears in Sandman # 18, on page 4.

Kai did an awesome job with this portrait. I really like the way Kai positioned the cat looking to the side. It feels like a movement that an actual cat would do, showing us, with a sense of superiority, that he doesn’t really need us, but will let us pet him when he’s ready.
