The cat has no idea what’s going on. Why is it suddenly being lifted? Why can’t it just go back to whatever it was doing? But the child doesn’t care – it’s cuddle time!
I really love these soft, whimsical impressions of children and their pets by Marie Asaba, a Japanese illustrator I discovered through the Spoon & Tamago blog.
From her current show, this portrait of a girl also really stood out to me.
