I was going to try and draw a dog I know (I have tried before – I have failed!) but then my brain was all ‘do you remember that creepy fairytale you read as a child where the hero encountered these guard dogs, and the first had eyes the size of saucers and the second had eyes the sides of dinner plates and the third had eyes the size of wagon wheels and the illustration gave you nightmares? why not draw some creepy cat guards instead?’ So I did.

You can tell they’d totally leave their post as soon as anyone offered them a treat or a cuddle though. I suppose there is a reason humans don’t generally keep guard cats.
