A long-haired black cat sits square in the middle of the disc in a red Santa hat, the white trim snowed over, the pom hanging down on the right. Its eyes are hot yellow with narrow pupils, the nose a small pink triangle, the whiskers picked out white against all that dark fur. A knitted red scarf wraps the chest, worked with gold paisley, and one glossy red ornament dangles from the fringe.
Behind the cat the sky runs violet into blue, dotted with falling snow and white snowflakes, a line of frosted pines low on both sides. The whole scene sits inside a wide red and gold border of scrolling vine, holly leaves and berries, closed by a thin gold ring.
Hang it on the door for December, or on the wall beside the stockings where a wreath would usually go. It suits anyone whose Christmas runs a little darker, and it makes an easy gift for a black cat household. Pre-drilled holes at the top and bottom.

The Black Cat leads the design as an archetype of mystery, independence and familiar lore. Other gothic or seasonal details build atmosphere around that central character.
