When other self-respecting cats were out Zoom stayed indoors and sailed in the dark. By day he watched the tap and dreamed.","id":21817306710075,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":2.525,"height":198,"width":500,"src":"\/\/houseofanansi.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/BNCImageAPI_61e0c2f9-385e-4ab3-adbe-26996f75b779.jpg?v=1648235611"},"aspect_ratio":2.525,"height":198,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/houseofanansi.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/BNCImageAPI_61e0c2f9-385e-4ab3-adbe-26996f75b779.jpg?v=1648235611","width":500},{"alt":"This image is in shades of black and white.
