Behold, the King of the Couch, Sherlock T. Katt, in all his lazy splendour. Why yes, he *is* ignoring you the same way he does me nine times out of ten. Do consider yourself honoured should he deign to notice your existence. I certainly am. Even when he decides to favour me by singing the song of his people ... at Oh Eff-Thirty in the middle of the night. Not because he wants out, good heavens no! His Royal Fluffiness is most decidedly a gentlecat of the indoor persuasion. But like his famous detective namesake, he simply cannot abide things that he considers boring. Which apparently includes any poor bedeviled human in the house who's trying to sleep. Fortunately that seems to be the worse of his habits; catnip addiction, so I am told, can be a rather costly vice. *** Production Notes: Mixed media. Rendered in Stable Diffusion NMKD GUI 1.7 from an original photograph to which I own all rights. To be precise, the couch, blanket, cushion, etc. are my personal, real-life property. Technically the cat is too ... but don't ever tell Sherlock that! He is very much a law unto himself. Again, exactly like the original. ;-) Much postwork was done in Photoshop CS2 and PaintShop Pro 2020 because there were quite a few places where SD ran off the rails with this one. Still my favorite of the batch, even if the AI got all abstract with the cushion, which does NOT have that crazy trip pattern, thank you very much. Not to mention that for some totally unfathomable reason, it kept insisting Sherlock's tail must be white, when in actual fact it is ginger from root to tip. I tried changing it both in SD and Photoshop, only to make it inferior, if not actually worse, every time. Knowing when I am licked, I left it alone. We'll just consider it one of his many mad genius disguises, all the better to fool any criminal mastermind mice. ::grins:: Seems to be working so far. Credits: None.
