So,
my boys want a question answered by someone more knowledgeable than mum 🙄
are cats related to dragons?
the reason they ask is because they’ve noticed the resemblance between our kittens and Melodys’ dragon poses. our boy kitty, Loki, sits tall like the male dragon and our girl kitty, Pixel, sits on her belly with her paws tucked under and looks like a spotty loaf of bread. both like to curl up like the mother dragon or curl right around with tails over noses like the curled and coiled dragons.
any opinions?

p.s. as I’m sitting here typing this we had a fox wander past the window and get a drink from the pond. both kitties have big, poofy tails and are ‘dancing’ side ways at it. time to bring the kitties in before they get ‘et 😯

My two cents is that they are related in so far as their poses go. Otherwise, IMO, they are related to dinosaurs (really cool dinos- and yes, I *do* believe actual dragons existed) and reptiles. Birds are a very close link to dinos so I could see their relation there. But feline? No more than how Melody has chosen to pose them which I have always enjoyed. But, thats my opinion or beliefs. Whatever makes anyone happy is what they should believe!
ps: forgot to add that I had a raven named Loki 😀 Found him with a broken wing as a baby and he grew up with me in my late teens early 20s but he would never truly go back into the wild. He’d fly around and make his friends and such, but he was humanized and is a big klepto! He became HUGE and would you believe, he is still very much alive and kicking?! He lives on my friends farm in upstate NY and anytime I visit there (which hasnt been for some time), he recognizes me and swoops down upon my shoulder. I miss him. He’s awesome. My cat Phoenix, his middle name is Loki (and his third name is Lucian… if you know TS Elliot, you know a “cat must have 3 differrent names.”)

Love TS Elliot! Still working on second and third names for Loki and Pixel. (My poor boys! They have an engineer/sci fi/ fantasy geek for a dad and an art, literature, theatre (12 year major)/ writer/ costumer/ jeweler geek for a mum.) At almost 12, the boys have a very eclectic home and education already. They named our kitties, but are arguing (like twins do) over other names for the ‘brat cats’! The boys chose Pixels’ name because she is little, fast and spotty like a pixel and Loki, obviously, for his penchant for wreaking havoc and causing general mischief. Pixel and Loki are brother and sister, same litter. Their mum is Siamese and their papa is Tabby. Pixel was the only dark tabby marked kitten in the litter but her stripes are more like spots than stripes and she has her mums’ Siamese voice. Talks like crazy! Loki is an interesting mix of breeds. He has his mums’ Siamese coloring with his papas’ stripes. Loki’s stripes are caramel colored on a light fawn background. His tail is dark tabby like Pixel’s. It looks like someone yanked a tail of a tabby and stuck it on him! He has pale blue eyes and his Siamese mask is dark striped like his tail and his purr sounds like a rusty alarm clock. Love them both!

p.s. have you read ‘The Wizard of London’ by Mercedes Lackey? One of the little girls in the novel has a Tower of London raven named Neville for a companion 😯
