About this pattern

Two cats sit side by side on the top rail of a wooden fence with their backs to us. The bigger one, on the left, is gray with dark gray bars across its back; the smaller one is ginger with darker orange bars. Each has two pointed ears, three short marks on the back of its head, a pink collar and a striped tail that hangs down over the rail, the two tail tips leaning toward each other. The fence is brown, with a post at each end and a second rail lower down. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 47 by 46 stitches and uses seven thread colors.

47 stitches wide by 46 high: 1,168 full cross stitches in 7 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Light Steel Gray 318, Very Dark Hazelnut Brown 869 and 4 more).
