Calico cat in a sunbeam

@my-dress-is-on-fire sure thing!

in the order they appear:

1- Greater Nicoya figure from AD 800–1350, found near Rivas, Nicaragua. Photographed by Ernest Amoroso. in 2014 was part of the National Museum of the American Indian's collection

2- Upon looking up a source, I've learned this piece actually isn't ancient art (which makes sense this was one I found unlabeled in a presentation and couldnt get a clear bead on at the time) but done by contemporary Nicaraguan artisan, Gregorio Bracamonte, who worked in a revival of the Nicoya style before passing in 2019. While Gregorio looked to ancient art in books & museums for reference and apparently sometimes did replicas, I don't have enough information on this piece to know what he was pulling from. EDIT- these are two pieces i think might have inspired him, and here's a 30 minute documentary that partially focuses on him if you want to learn more about Don Gregorio's craft

3- Chorotega basalt figure from AD 800-1200 on Ometepe Island in Nicaragua, tourist photo

4- Chorotega basalt figure from AD 800-1200 on Zapatera Island in Nicaragua, illustration of piece from La isla-santuario de Zapatera y sus estatuas con alter ego by Jorge Eduardo Arellano

5- Nazca figure from 200 BC–AD 600 found in Peru. In 1999 was part of Museum zu Allerheiligen's collection

You get the whole walk cycle and the little sprint at the end.

Sometimes her sprints last for like 4 or 5 seconds and she can shoot herself off the couch or into a wall if she gets a grip with her back claws. If she does it next to a wall, her head smacking into it sounds like someone is trying to break into the house. She doesn't wake up.
