Uh… Yeah…. I think I see the cat.

Or I think I see what the puzzle artist meant to be the cat… I guess.

Have a look…

I see the face, with its nose pressed against the woman’s neck, and one leg.

But I don’t understand the position, and can’t figure out the body or the “other front leg” (in quotes cos it doesn’t look like it’s meant to even be a leg… It looks more like a board, or part of a table.)

Or possibly…

one could think…

Maybe the woman’s sleeve on that side is meant to be the two (pretty stylised) front legs of the cat…

But then where’s the rest of it?

And what’s the rest of that stuff I circl ed? Cos that top thing looks like a cat’s leg.

I think it’s the lady herself asking the question. She has just finished sweeping up and suddenly noticed the cat is missing. Probably afraid she scooped it up and tossed it out with the dust bunnies.

The only information I found is the artist is Diego Píriz; he is from Uruguay.
From other works of his. he is strongly influenced by Edward Hopper.

I guess I can understand not including a basset hound…

They wanted to save some room on the page for the other dogs.

PS. … I think those Cane Corso ears are cropped.

An outdated, barbaric practice that ought to be illegal.

Cane Corsos have short, floppy ears like other mastiffs.

Some breeders will tell you that they need them cropped so they won’t get ear infections, which is misinformation they were fed.

Other dogs don’t get ear infections just because they have their natural ears.

Or they say it’s so they won’t get them torn off in a fight.

They shouldn’t be raising and training aggressive dogs to fight!

And no poodles or Scottish terriers.. .or Yorkies.

Same reason:

This page only goes from “A” to “H”.

Not ours. Not at the vet’s. None of them ever.
Elsewhere – that’s another story.

My little dog had a nickname in the back room at the vet’s office.

I only heard it because one of the assistants thought it was actually her name (which would be a strange one) …

She brought her out to me and said “Miss Personality is ready”.

Next time, I asked the vet… He laughed

He said they all called her that. “We don’t want to call her anything bad, because we like her… but she has a very special personality.”

….

Turns out they thought she was more playful than most dogs when they brought her back there, and cute, and fairly obedient, to a point.

But if anybody touched her paws, or if she saw a syringe, she wouldn’t growl or look upset, or even stop wagging her stump of a tail, but she’d suddenly and unexpectedly bite. Hard.

He said he thought she’d drawn blood samples (his words!) at one time or another from everybody in the office.

They didn’t say they wouldn’t see her again; in fact, they’d never even told me, because as soon as she bit someone, she’d be cute and obedient again. She apparently just had to let that out.
