Description
This set of four wooden coasters carries the Nine Lives print: a soft sage green ground filled with rows of cartoon cats, each one its own character. There are stripy tabbies, a cream Siamese with a dark mask, a fluffy white cat, a sleek black one, a calico mid stride and a big ginger with a plumed tail. Each coaster is a neat square with gently rounded corners, 10cm across each way and 0.3cm thick, so it takes a mug, cup or tumbler comfortably without crowding a side table. All four carry the same print, so they look matched when laid out together.
We see these on a coffee table by the sofa, a kitchen table at breakfast or a desk where the afternoon tea lands. Four is a handy number for a small household or for setting out drinks when friends come round, and the cats give everyone something to talk about while the kettle boils. They suit anyone who loves cats, and we think they make an easy, cheerful present for a friend with a cat of their own, a neighbour who keeps one, or anyone who stops to greet every cat on the street.
Each coaster is made in three layers: a printed paper surface on top, a wooden core in the middle and a cork backing underneath, so the side that meets your table is soft cork rather than bare wood. To keep the print looking fresh, wipe it with a soft damp cloth and dry it straight away; as with any paper and wood coaster, keep it out of standing water. Stack the four together in a drawer between uses, or leave them out where the cats can be admired. Pair them with a plain mug or a simple glass and let the print do the talking.
