Orange has always been a peculiar little cat…
Video that I just bumped into while digging in my archives. Back in October 2017, Tiny Orange helped @tkingfisher.com sign bookplates for the @sofawolf.com Kickstarter release of Summer in Orcus.
Good job, cat!

Please note it has celestial events, moon phases, and a Judgy Gregory in a witches hat on Halloween there to remind you to put your pet in a costume they will immediately remove.
