Meet The Cats Behind Sleepy Cat Art!
(...and dog)
DARCY
The oldest of the lot is Darcy, our 17 year-old Tabby cat. He was rescued and adopted by us as a 2 year-old back in 2007. Loving life in his golden years, Darcy is a quiet cat who will come to you for a couple of gentle head-butts before settling down by your side on his favourite cushion. He will subtly place a paw on your leg while snoozing in front of a cozy fire.
PERCY
This fluffy tuxedo is Percy, we rescued him as a kitten in 2014. In January 2020, he was involved in a car accident which paralysed his tail resulting its removal. Although, Percy is without his magnificent tail- he continues to be incredibly affectionate, often snuggling into wherever you're sitting and drooling on your shoulder.
BELLA
This is the baby of the bunch, Bella! Our second rescue kitten and born in 2016, she is quite the character. She is often seen zipping about the garden. When she's not outside, she will steal a nap on your lap or pretend she's not drinking from the fish tank. As the huntress of the family, we've woken up to many confused frogs and mice in the house.
SUMMER
Our honorary cat, Summer (a 12 year old Tibetan Terrier) deserves a mention here. Her scruffy eyebrows and curly tail loves a big fuss, gentle walks and to be a companion for her humans. She's an anxious little creature but so is Emma, they're two peas in a pod just helping each other get by. Often found draped over her human's laps, she is content having her ears scratched and tummy rubbed.
MAISY
This sweet girl was our first rescue and the first to join the family. We instantly fell for her beautiful eyes, stunning coat and warm nature. She grew into a natural leader, an incredible hunter and to be slightly unhinged but she still couldn't resist cuddles with her dad and snuggling up behind the curtains and on windowsills. Sadly, we unexpectedly lost her before her time but we will always remember her fondly and continue to love her deeply. Love you forever girly x
