A hooked wool throw pillow, a cat front and center: the Winter Cat and Birds design. The loops are pulled through the backing one at a time, so the face carries a raised pile you can feel.
For the person who already has the mug and the calendar. Set it against smooth linen or velvet and the texture contrast does the styling work for you.
A black and white tuxedo cat looks straight out, three birds above it. A red cardinal, an orange-breasted robin, and a small gray bird perched on its head sit among berried twigs on the cream ground. The hooked wool face is framed in black, with red pom trim running the edge.

Wool pulled loop by loop through a backing, the way hooked rugs have been made for two centuries, is what gives this piece its depth and its weight in the hand. Wool is why pieces like this last: it resists crushing, holds its dye, and looks better used than new. A thoughtful gift for animal people who notice which breed it is, and a good reason to keep one yourself.
