If you find the larger print it's from, you find out that there is a nun with a penis replacing the cross on her rosary trying to bribe it away from the cat with a fish, all of which is being watched by a jester leaning in a window. So... the context doesn't really help answer any questions here, basically.
It was probably drawn by a nun. Mediaeval nuns seem to have had a thing about dismembered penii. There's a manuscript with them in a tree, like fruit, and another where they are flying about with wings...
Whenever I look at those illuminated scripts where there's a cat, I imagine it's there because the scribe loves cats and was thinking "this needs Mr. Meowmeow" and then I imagine the little noises he makes while drawing it. "awwwww there he is, now lets add your little pawpaws. he's a fierce baby, isn't he. mrrrrwwwwarw." and it makes them so much better.
Johann Jurgen of Germany invented the Saxony wheel in 1555, based on drawings by Leonardo da Vinci. That same year, Claus the Cat debuted the portable penis — a bold fashion statement that killed on the runway, but never really took off with the common folk.
I think those color combinations are lovely. I like tertiary pastels.
Like all cats, your lovely Hunter doesn’t present a linear outline, because, like all cats, he has fur, which makes his outline softer. Cats with sleek, shiny fur are somewhat different, but not if you look closely. This isn’t a criticism, because I’m not an artist like you (I sing and knit, sometimes at the same time 😉). I’m just telling you what I see, as someone who has lived with cats since I was a child. Your technique is an expression of what you see. Carry on!
I’m still trying to wrap my head around medieval cat with penis and i cannot 😳
So many questions but I'm not sure I want to know the answers 🤣
Yes like
Where’s the blood? Did the cat remove it or find it? Do i gear screaming in the background? etc…

Was it revenge? Wishful thinking?
Don't believe me? Ask Jeanne de Montbaston (https://readingmedievalbooks.wordpress.com/)

He has a human name, of course he looks human 🤣
What you need is the Ugly Medieval Cats calendar, 2025.
I bought the 2024 one, and am about to buy this one too! I can't add a link, but you can see it for yourself on Amazon.co.uk....
I’m here for cats fucking up art

Hunter S is delightful wrapped in flowers! Who doesn't love a ginger boy?

Thought: If a picture/drawing of a cat carrying a dismembered penis can stand the test of time, there's hope for us all.
Hahahha yup cats. Guess they bite off weeners too!! lol lol every dude who saw that pic is cringing and crossing legs. 🤪🤪🤪🍆🍆🍆🍆🍆
😂😂😂
I still cackling 🤣
I like your cat picture, it looked bundled up in flowers or yarn. And your color picture made me think of a stylized brain!
All glorious beautiful human perfection ♥️ I loved every single slightly unnerving cat. Somehow endearing. I’m endeared to each one.
Needed this. Thank you 🤣🐱✨
Lol what a fun post! People over the centuries have certainly been creative and maybe a little crazy. Mankind hasn't changed at all really. ;)
Oh my gosh the cat carrying the man bits is the laughter I didn't know I needed 😹😹😹😹😹
