Long black-tufted ears, the poise of a wild cat and a newspaper held wide open: our caracal has made itself right at home on the toilet seat. The clash between this desert feline's regal bearing and such an ordinary daily scene gives the illustration its wonderfully deadpan comedy. You can almost hear the pages rustle and feel the royal silence it imposes on anyone who dares interrupt its reading. Its tawny coat and fanned-out whiskers stand out sharply against the pale setting, like an official portrait that has gone slightly off the rails.

This offbeat portrait joins our gallery of animals caught in very human moments, part of the Animal Portraits collection. Hung above the toilet or in a corner of the bathroom, it brings a welcome dose of fun to a room we rarely bother to decorate, and appeals to lovers of absurd humour and big cats alike. Its presence stands out just enough to turn a fleeting visit into a small moment of laughter.
