That mangy cat

Another picture drawn in response to a question on my Alice ask tumblr, but I spent an hour on it, so I'm posting it here too

The reference for this one was actually taken from the Alice Casebook that came with the first game (readable here: [link] )

The quote in question is this:

8 December 1873
A mangy cat was licking at Alice's cheek. It hissed when I entered, and pounced onto the windowsill — it must be flesh and bones only to squeeze through the grate. I could almost perceive a smile on its scabbed face. It's curious how an animal's countenance can appear almost human.

Really glad I did this answer after I found the Casebook XD
