Shipra Anand, Not for Children… or Cats? (ENTRIES CLOSED - February theme: Wild)

They sit behind the gate like two tiny citizens who have decided to follow the rules a little too literally. The warning label clearly wasn’t written for them, but they seem determined to respect it anyway. Both cats stare through the bars with the same patient expression — not annoyed, not trapped, just quietly dramatic. They could leap over the gate in a heartbeat, but instead they choose to wait, side by side, as if participating in some unspoken ritual of obedience. In the soft light of the staircase, their yellow eyes glow with a mix of curiosity and theatrical seriousness. It’s a moment that turns an ordinary safety gate into a stage, and two everyday cats into the most endearing rule followers you’ll ever meet.
