@ellygriffiths.bsky.social I think you need one of these.
I've drawn 40+ cats reading books for authors and readers both.
$75 for a drawing of any cat (your cat, friend's cat, imaginary cat) reading any book (literary fiction, beach read, comics, academic treatise). You get the digital illustration file.
Makes a great Holiday gift. (Just sayin'.)
