There is no denying how much cats love to sleep. You’re bound to find some cozied up in the warmest and comfiest nooks and crannies. All 7 color options are inspired by the notion that cats choose no time for their naps. They’ll take it wherever they can, whenever they can.

This charming clowder of cats is the purr-fect companion to your setup, as they huddle together and do what cats do best: sleeping all day, every day.

I love these! Only thing I'd personally change is remove the borders and background texture for a cleaner, more modern feel, but that's just my personal preference and they look good as is. :) Definitely getting one cause I love cats!

oh yes. Yes please. Somewhat agree on the border seeming a bit harsh but I don't think getting rid of it is the answer either, I like the cat in a basket aesthetic. Maybe the border would look better if it was drawn by hand and matched the organic aesthetic of the cats? definitely going in for sunset

oh sorry one other thing. The toe beans/pads on the cat in the upper left gets in the way of the minimal, blocky look of the cats. I'd vote to get ride of them but it depends on what other people want

I agree with this. Also, the cat on the far right has toe beans on one hind paw, but not the other.

I like the toe 'beans'/pads but yeah, I think that both paws should have it.

Taking into account the suggestions I've received, here are the upcoming edits I plan to do:
  • Add toe beans on the other foot
  • Make Eclipse colorway darker, to sort of replace the black deskmat aesthetic
  • Revise the basket border to make it look more organic

Please look forward to it!

I like the updated version! Personal preference is still no basket, just cats, but I definitely think you made it more minimal and that it matches the style of the cats better now. Only small detail I miss is how the rightmost cat's foot was poking out of the basket in the previous version, gave it more depth in my opinion (plus it looked cute).

Agree on the poking out foot, but the borders are too thin for that now.. In exchange I added more beans!

I really love the new designs, you nailed the look of the border. I'll definitely be joining when the GB goes live :) Do you know how many mm thick the mats will be?
