On the wall of an Egyptian tomb of sculptor, Nebamun, a ginger cat catches birds as it hunts with its human. Still bright in its ginger glory the cat has waited through centuries, frozen with its birds in time.

Telling tales, of walking in wild places, of painting, of sleeping in warm places and of mice and other things....
The Three
- The Ginger Darlings
- St Davids, Pembrokeshire, Wales
- When first we started there were four of us, all ginger, and Max. Time has passed. The ginger pride are ghost cats, appart from Elmo. Now the house holds Max, oldest, tabby farm cat, dark, usually found sleeping on a cushion, Elmo, last of the Gingers, beautiful handsome and wonderful who still walks to the high hill top. And now there is Baggage and Bundle, silver mischief in sharp clawed kitten form. The adventures continue.

Wow; isn't that just gorgeous! The colors that have remained through time & makes me wonder how many bird species I can name.
Looks like he caught one with his tail too!!!!! Now that's ancient wisdom!
Was a how-to manual included?

That is awesome! And much different than the renditions of Egyptian cats my memory is serving up!
Our gingers come from such noble stock!
I had forgotten all about this painting - I learned about it a long time ago in an art history class. What amazes me is how lifelike the cat and birds look compared to the stylized humans.
I love seeing Ancient Egyptian art, lots of cats to see too. Shame a lot of it is fading now :/
The cat and the birds are amazingly lifelike. And what a magnificent set of whiskers the cat has, carefully folded back out of way of the bird in his mouth.
