Description
This wooden ruler takes the form of a tall, slender cat, its round head topped with two pointed ears and its body widening towards a little foot at the base. A sweet face is printed on the front, with closed eyes, long lashes, a tiny nose, a little smile and fine whiskers, so the cat looks content. It comes in soft blue or gentle pink, and the whole cat is one calm shade, with the reverse left plain. Along the straight edge runs a scale marked from 0 to 15cm, with millimetre ticks in fine gold-coloured print that is easy to read against the pastel.
It belongs on a desk, beside a sketchbook or next to a planner, wherever straight lines and quick measurements are needed. At 19.7cm long and 4.4cm wide, it is small enough for a pencil case or desk drawer, and the 15cm scale covers everyday jobs like underlining notes, ruling a margin, drawing a neat border or checking the size of a card. The cat's head gives your fingers something to hold while you draw, and at just 0.3cm thick it lies flat against the page. It brings a little character to a home office or study corner.
The ruler is made from wood, cut to the cat's outline with smooth curves around the head and a straight measuring edge down one side. Look after it as you would any small wooden piece: wipe it with a soft, dry cloth, keep it away from water and store it flat. For anyone who likes their desk things to raise a smile, it makes a cheerful little gift on its own, or tuck it into a stationery bundle with a notebook and a few pencils. Pick the blue for a fresh, cool look or the pink for something softer.
