Happy Cat Eyes Open Hollow

A cat caught in its most agreeable mood. This is the eyes-open take on the design, alert and looking back at you rather than curled up mid-doze, and that one difference changes the character of the whole piece: it becomes a companion on a shelf rather than a sleeping ornament you stop noticing. The form is simplified and rounded, the kind of stylised cat that settles happily on a windowsill above the kitchen sink, a bathroom shelf, a hall table beside the keys, or the far corner of a desk. It is cheerful without tipping into twee, which is a harder balance to strike in a cat ornament than it sounds. Supplied as a single model, it makes an easy gift print for the cat person in your life who has long since run out of room for another mug.
