Remember the "642 things to draw" art prompt book? I haven't done a "642" in years! Here's one, chosen more or less at random. Draw a...cinder block! What, building materials? What I first thought of was a cat. Why a cat? Because long ago a friend of mine had a long haired black cat called "Cinder." And now some other friends have a long haired brown cat called "Cinnabar." Imagining Cinnabar as a block gives the fantasy image of a cinder block hollowed out so that Kitty can slither through the carved space. If there is a hollow somewhere, a cat will find it. The block doesn't look very comfortable but I have seen cats in odder spaces than this. Is "odder" a word anyway.
