"Whiskers was heavy and didn't like being picked up too much, but Chloe didn't care, she carried him around whenever she got the chance."
My entry for this week's Illustration Friday with the theme of "heavy". The little girl and cat are based on a photo of my daughter when she was about 4, carrying our old cat around. That poor cat was drug all over the place - she put up with though, maybe she liked it more than she let on! The text in the background is a page from Alice in Wonderland where Alice is having a conversation with the Cheshire Cat. I wanted a subtle background that had to do with cats, but was also related to children, so I thought it was a fun choice.

Wonderful illustration. Great illo and I specially like the use of text in the background.
Terrific choice.

Is there anything cuter than a really fat cat? Maybe just a little girl carrying it around :) This is so adorable, and the text on the background was a really nice touch
I really like the depth that using the passage from Alice in Wonderland has added to this fun piece.
