Sleepy Cosy Tabby Cats | Art therapy for pet loss

 At the sudden loss of an extremely beloved kitty companion, I found myself with the urge to draw him in his favourite cosy, peaceful sleeping positions. He was a beautiful brown tabby, but for variety when it came to painting I included orange and grey tabby colours.

I liked them so much I decided to make them into keyrings, with the idea that anyone else grieving a beloved tabby could find comfort in them, or to carry a reminder of their companion with them on their travels.



They are available to buy in my shop here !


I doodled more sleepy cats (I can't stop!) with various colours and breeds in mind, some based on new real life fluffy friends who have blessed us with their presence. (The cat distribution system is real!)
