This cat is very strange...
Last week's prompt for the students in Holyoke was "This cat is very strange ..." I did a couple of illustrations to go with some students' descriptions:
Then there was this cat:
A few students were suspicious of black cats, though when I asked one if black cats were bad luck, she said,
When looking for an image to illustrate that woman's writing, I found this fun story about Sable, the crossing-guard cat, who comes out every day to watch the kids safely cross the street to school in the morning and leaving school in the afternoon.
This cat looks like a dog. The cat ears are hanging to the floor, has a long tail but the cat skin is red and blue.
Then there was this cat:
I was in the park and I seen a cat with three eyes looking at a bird.
What did you think when you saw this three-eyed cat?
He has a better chance of catching the bird! LOL

No, cats are not bad luck, they just cats. They are good of seeing ghosts around, though.

Sable has been watching over the students from across the street for about a year. Tamara Morrison owns the cat. She says one day, Sable just walked outside to greet the students, and he's been doing it ever since ... [Tamara] has now bought a safety vest for Sable to make him an honorary member of the Enterprise Safety Patrol.

I love your drawing of the three-eyed cat and the sparrow.

Yeah, clothes on cats are not cats' favorite thing, but maybe it was a minimal vest. He was very old (15 years old), so maybe he was patient with that sort of thing. The blog post is from 2012, so I suspect Sable may no longer be among us--but it sounds like he was well loved.

These are great! I love the three-eyed cat.

I am glad to hear your student say this and I don't disagree.
I love the story of the crossing-guard cat.
