here you are: the second page XD...actually, I'm not really that keen on drawing animals (or at least that's how it used to be)...but since little stupid me had this oh so brilliant idea of a short story with a cat as major character...oh well, I liked that idea so much that I put up with the fact that it inevitabely involved drawing a CAT (if I wanted to make a douji of it, that is -_-°)....I don't know just now how long it actually took me to finish this cat (not to mention the egyptian cat statues in the previous page and balthasar on the front cover....and all the pics of balthasar yet to come!!? AAARRRGGGHH)...oh bother...perhaps I'll get used to drawing him some day...or I'll simply speed up his transformation into a human ^^ problem solved (don't worry,I won't do that. I have to face my fears -_-°) to whom it may concern, here's the translation: "...but the humans have lost all knowledge of magic...once they believed that we cats were the link between the world of the living and that of the dead....well, you were quite close.."
