There are so many things I like about this picture - first of all, it's a cat. Who doesn't love cats? Everyone loves cats. Second of all, it's a cat next to a bushel of crabs. Who doesn't love crabs? You know who really loves crabs? Cats. Thirdly, I love the disembodied hand coming in from the right that's scratching the cat's chin. I really like how someone brought the cat some milk. You know the saying "Happier than a pig in shit"? Well there should be another saying - "Happier than a cat in a fish market".
