I've seen this cat design for a number of years now, and was inspired to carve it once I saw the pattern in an issue of WCI a while back. I've done several of these cats, but this is the first orange/red cat!
If you are in the area, you can see this cat and some of my other carvings at the Conewago Carvers Wood Carving Show in East Berlin, PA. Link below has show details if interested.
