As my occasional comics might have indicated, I keep four pet hens, who have pretty much the same intelligence/ inquisitiveness/ interest-in-people spread as four randomly selected cats. Sims the standard silver-laced Wyandotte has the best house manners and is my frequent drawing companion, but something about sitting with a chicken drawing a chickenmonster covered in chickens required documentation in this case.

For bonus points, this painting by Nambroth is visible in the background. I HAVE STARED INTO THE ABYSS AND IT WENT "BOK".
