A low quality, close-up shot of a white cat looking at the camera with the disdain that can only come from a hard-bitten lifestyle, a lifestyle where this cat has found itself at the dirtiest dive bars and the bottom of too many bottles. A crown of white fluff sits atop its brow, the suggestion of a santa's hat entirely at odd with the world-weary expression this cat holds. The yellow text beneath this cat says "crimbus", a deliberate misspelling of the seasonal celebration intended to bring mild amusement as would be expected of casual wit. Yet this cat does not care for such trivial comic effect. Instead, its gaze pierces the lens of the camera, through time, through your screen, to look directly at you. Perhaps, dear alt-text reader, in this singular instance of seasonal disdain, this distilliation of feline hardship and perfunctory celebration, captured on silicon, translated into data and portrayed before you now, we can take a moment to appreciate what this pet has experienced at the hands of its masters. What inner thoughts could this beast maintain in this timeless instance? Disgust? Disdain? Does this beast look down upon us as though we were nothing more than dirt between the beans of its toes? Or does it regard us with the scornful distaste of disapproval? For what is the santa's hat atop its head if not a wreath of human manufactured joy, forcefully bestowed upon what we would regard as "lesser beasts"? Perhaps vengeance sits in those scowled eyes. Defiance even. Its retribution allowed only to simmer, however, lest it earn the ire of humanoid masters. Reprisal enacted only in ways a cat can: by knocking things off tables, clawing the furniture, and missing the kitty litter, all acts that would be seen as charmingly feline at best, and aggravating at worst. Thank you, dear Reader, for sharing this moment in time with me. I have stolen this time from you, like a thief, and perhaps you will look upon me with the disdain of this cat.
