quixotic1. Take a copy of my book.
2. Take a pet (your own, or someone else's, although you should ask before borrowing the neighbor's cat).
3. Take a picture.
4. Post the picture.
Entries will be taken until the morning of Monday the 24th, at which point I will use the random number generator to choose from amongst the eligible submissions. I reserve the right to award a second prize if there's a picture that just slays me, like if someone gives a copy of Feed to a tiger or gives a copy of Rosemary and Rue to a dolphin. Be creative, have fun, and show me your pets!
(Yes, small children in cat costumes count as pets for purposes of this contest, but they have to be yours.)
My virtual pets, with An Artificial Night

All Care Cthulhus know the way to Babylon by candlelight. It takes them rather less than three score mile and ten, however, as they use non-Euclidean geometry to find shortcuts, and then they follow the Hound of Tindalos through all the angles of the shortcuts to find even more.
Even so, I would not count on them for rescue in dire trouble. They know they way, and they travel nimble and quick, but they are - being Eldritch horrors - of a certain appetite, and one can never be quite sure whether they are going to Babylon by candle-light for a rescue mission, or for a simple romantic dinner expedition.
