Puzzle Description:

The face of my Siamese cat, sound asleep. Cats with the Siamese coat pattern are called "pointed."

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.

I used the top 11 clue for edge logic to solve this one.

Ditto #2. I really can't see the cat's face. Please orient me.

The lower right is the mouth/nose area. The upper right and somewhat circular black area towards the lower right are the ears. The upper left is the back of the head.

I just can't see any detail. Yes, those are the general areas you mentioned, but I thought I was just missing something. Apparently not.

I was kind of afraid people might have a hard time seeing it, Adam. Since she's dozing, her head is lolling forward. Her right ear (left side of the puzzle) is pointing toward the viewer, which is why you can't see the triangular shape. You can see the collar on the back of her neck. You can't see the eyes because they are closed. If you're not familiar with Siamese markings, and the shape of the face mask, it's probably especially hard to make out. I thought it was a funny posture and good for a quick puzzle. Maybe I'll do a Siamese cat in a more obvious posture.

Yes, good idea.

That was lots of fun to solve! I'm also having a hard time making out the features, even after reading all the detailed descriptions.

Here's what it looks like to me: The pointed hat of a witch, who is running downhill, hauling a satchel of magic stuff behind her, waving her hat overhead in an arc, leaving a trail of magic. L-)

I see a guy wearing an eye patch oh his right eye and bleeding from the left after being hit by a hammer on the head. Otherwise, great puzzle.

i had to do this twice... which makes me sad since it doesn't come out to be anything in the end...

I didn't see this until I read the story. Then the sleeping cat was very evident.

I really enjoyed the solve. Thanks!
