Illustration Friday - Idle

I've not been idle this week so didn't manage to find the time to create something new for this week's theme. However, I picked up an old sketchbook this afternoon and came across these drawings I made years ago of our little Omani cat, Tigger (yes, I know, very original!). He looks very relaxed - cats are such experts idlers!
