Make an upcycled Cat from cardboard
This little kitty sculpture sat on an end table, playing with his little sculpted mouse. When Cat’s master put a book aside, Cat pounced on it while the mouse went and read the inside. Cat looked up adoringly at his master, master patted Cat’s head. Then master, cat and mouse all tucked into bed.
One look in this cat’s eyes, and you know he needs to come home with you today. Cat makes a great companion to your reading table and with the help of mouse will lovingly guard your books if you bring them home today.

We need to learn to live as peaceful as possible with these animals that have been forced into human environments when their natural habitats have been lost due to development. So, be nice with mice!
