@AphraPell @todbooklady @barbara The best I can do is offer you a cat-in-training. The "slide" posture is well thought through, but there is no tray (yet - that's the advanced level).

This illustration by John Nash took me aback. I had no idea that such a scene was part of "The Natural History of Selborne"! @celiahart @todbooklady @AphraPell

A friend sent me this calendar & it has definitely added variety to the aesthetic treats available domestically. The Greek mythology theme adds class to Gallic flair!💓
Speaking of shy items, @PosyHill1, the lion does a sterling job shielding Adam from ridicule in this design for stained glass by Philip Webb @BSMGP
V & A: 1861 watercolour design for stained glass, showing Adam naming the lion & the roebuck. #TinyLion with a voluminous mane!

One of the joys of looking for one artist's work is accidentally finding another's. It was a delight to find some of Brian Hope-Taylor's wood engravings in this way.
These illustrations are from "The Lake & the Woods", 1951. @ThatArtBlog @deborahjvass @AnneLouiseAvery
