Here's one of those once in a lifetime photo opportunities. A squadron of as yet unpainted dragoons race to defend the town against the giant pet cat "Rannveig." The fact that kitty sat still long enough for Sonja to snap the picture is amazing! And in the fine tradition of all of those Japanese monster movies from the 50s and 60s, Rannveig ate the clock tower on the town hall shortly afterwards, and stomped on all of the little stolenians as they ran for cover. She breathed her fiery deathray of catfood breath in the direction of the defending government troops, to keep them at bay.
Here's a picture illustrating my (S-L-O-W) progress with the second company of Stollen's Leib (Grand Duchess Sonja's Own) Grenadiers. You can see I'm doing things a bit differently this time, altering the painting process to keep it interesting basically. This evening, I'll do the white gaiters and, if that goes reasonably quickly, and time allows, the red breeches. Still lots to do, but I like the way these fine fellows are shaping up along side the completed 1st company that's standing in formation just off camera, to the left here. Until tonight then!

Both are of the "British Shorthair" variety. One is a "tuxedo catzilla" similar to your nemesis.
The other, however, is a dilute calico of the "Cattius Brattius" subvariety of Catzillas.
I suspect that a foreign nation may be behind thes horrible creatures. We should see if we can find out who they are.
