I didn’t care for this picture much. Sure, it’s cute kittens posing adorably in the middle of some mischief, but they’re a small part of the picture, so it’s hard to see their faces.
From the Ivory Cats boxed set.
A lot of the picture is orange things. Orange striped carpet. Very orange wooden dresser and chair, which seem to dominate the image. And orange is one of my least favorite colors. That’s all. I did like the patchwork quilt, and that the chair seat is also patchwork. That chair gave me quite a bit of trouble! Tricky, putting the curved shapes of its back together.
A little surprise near the end: this puzzle had one duplicate piece. I think it’s only the second time I’ve had this happen. Mayb I’ll start collecting them (instead of leaving in the box for the next person). Might be interesting how many random pieces that were superfluous to their puzzles, I gather years down the road in my puzzling journey. Not sure what I’d ever do with them, though. Some kind of art project? (The first pair I turned into earrings, but I’ve never worn them).

My cat is obsessed with being in drawers. I thought it was just some weird thing about her, maybe all cats like it!
One of my cats always tries to jump in a drawer when I open them, too!
