The Ambassador Carried a Secret Scroll and Told Absolutely Nobody
The ambassador has delivered messages to a hundred courts, and he keeps every one of them secret. A black cat with large golden eyes looks straight at the viewer from beneath a thick fur collar. His deep red velvet robe is lined in gold braid, and in his paws he cradles a rolled scroll tied with a pink ribbon and a red wax seal. Behind him, a landscape of green hills, a bending river, and a hilltop fortress sits softly in the afternoon haze.
Black cats have long been wrongly linked with superstition, yet in real life they are as playful, sweet, and cuddly as any other cat. Their dark coats are shiny, and their golden eyes stand out beautifully. Shelters often have many wonderful black cats waiting for homes. If you adopt one, you can look forward to a loyal companion who will probably follow you from room to room. Daily play, a good diet, and regular vet care all help any cat live a long, comfortable life.
The red wax seal is a small bright detail that draws the eye straight to the scroll. The cat clearly takes his duties seriously, and he seems to know that the message is important. Whatever it says, it will arrive safely, although perhaps after a short nap by a sunny window.
