Orlando the Marmalade Cat walking with his wife Grace and their kittens. From the Orlando series by Kathleen Hale, 1966. archive.org/details/orla...

Wow, what a beautiful drawing style

I’d forgotten all about Orlando. Such great books.

I love it 😻 nice piece

I've got one of these somewhere, I need to find it, because on one page Orlando got buttered...

Grace gets it

A couple of those kittens are definitely from different fathers XD (sorry, being a nerd about cat genetics).

This boy came from a rescue centre already named Orlando, after the book character. It suits him perfectly. I didn’t know the books at all but now love them!

One of my favourite mottos is, I think, from Orlando in Space: "It is no use crying over spilt milk - it should be lapped up immediately!"

👍 First discovered as a teen in the 50s.

I love this 😻
