Key Keeper By James Ng


I love the story that comes with this image. When I do my cat captions I try to capture a moment that is part of a larger story just like this.

"The recently deceased Key Keeper and his pet cats had the responsibility of organizing all the keys and locks for the imperial dungeon. With the keeper gone, no one except his pets could pair the thousands of keys to their corresponding lock, but the feline family refused to go to work without their master. The Imperial Inventor, with permission from the court, reanimated the keeper's skeleton with steam engines to keep the loyal pets satisfied until they find a better solution. The skeletal remains of the eldest cat was also reanimated to serve as a pack leader and a mobile key cutting machine."

Even mechanical cats are cute. Good back-story to the picture!
