Post your cats and ancient/medieval coins depicting felines!

There are no felines in my household for the time being. We had a cat, Maxi, that died last year. The most trusting, lazy, and friendliest creature I've ever seen. Sometimes I wondered if it really was a rabbit, accidently born in a cat's body. I still miss him.

Here's an old cat:

Love cats! And lizards

Here are Bear and Gus Gus. When I moved, Bear went to live with my parents and Gus Gus went to live with friends of mine.  I miss having them around.

Here is my Thrace hemidrachm featuring a big kitty and a little lizard.
