This was a personal project. I've had an interest in paper craft for some time but this was my first serious attempt at it. I was inspired by the notion that for many people, their pets are members of their family, and what the dynamic is like when they're at home. I tried to capture the particular dynamic of two friends of mine and their cat. I hope this is the first of many!

Cutting the paper is delicate work and will ikely require a great deal of practice to master.
