Brown classic tabby with white. Bicolour, low-grade. A description, at last, of what Gilbert actually is.
A year of moggies, May 2025 – May 2026
Ten photographs from winter into spring 2026.

Gilbert makes a single appearance and makes it count, asleep on the yellow chair amid a drift of brown paper.

George on the red cushion, May 2026
George sat bolt upright on the red cushion, looking directly into the lens, ginger and white. The expression suggests dinner is overdue, or the photographer is late. Either way: he stands by, awaiting clarification.

George up close on the teal pillow, ginger and white. The post had a second image block. It didn't make the edit.

George at the desk, March 2025
