This is a re-working of my small sitting cat design, made this year, for a commission. Cats are such fluid creatures, who sit and sprawl and curl in such a variety of poses that it’s hard to capture the true essence of cat; but I am happy with the result. If you feel you want to stroke him – and I do – then he works.

He is 23cm tall, 24cm from whiskers to tail, and 14cm wide; £145.
