Before Christmas, Cherri was trying to think of presents to give to those of her friends who had cats as pets, and she asked me to produce some designs which she could stitch on to "cat-mats". Apparently these are mats which the cats sit and lie on, which protect furniture from cat-hairs and which can be easily washed. So I did some decorative cat designs which eventually turned up on some of Cherri's cat-mats
