24 November - Imperskaya Aviatziya Koshki (Imperial Aviation Cat)



Yes, it's been an unconscionably long time since my last post - I can only plead the lack of spare time due to the press of duties here at the Museum, plus my court-mandated community service. It's been in my mind to call it quits, I confess, but can't quite pull the trigger. So it'll be the dreaded hiatus for Panabasis for now. But the good news is that our intern Zoe told me about Tumblr - all the kids have Tumblrs nowadays, she says. So I've set up one here and I hope you'll follow it, as the kids say. And, of course, important Janus Museum updates will continue to be posted on our Facebook page. So it's not really good-bye - it's more like so long...

And above, another image from our Cats of War collection - a Russian aviator, c.1915, with his feline co-pilot. A nice companion piece to our portrait of Lothar von Wallingsfurt with cat.
