As I examined old photos, searching for items to inspire regarding this week's SPORT theme, I came across this photo of a very athletic cat, pouncing on his tail. This is certainly a sport to this cat, named Bantus. However, I remembered the tale of the "Cat who thought his tail was the Devil" wrong. It was another cat-mate who had this perception. I'm not sure how vehemently Bantus regarded his tail, but he certainly loved to spar with it. However, I like the snake-like tail, so I'm not changing the illo.

Continuing to look through old pictures, I found one of a very determined ping pong player. I did some digital alterations to it, and the forcefulness of the slam! comes across even more clearly.
