I looked into domestic cats and how they have evolved to retain a lot of the characteristics and traits of their wild big cat cousins. I found out that compared to today’s domestic dogs cats haven’t changed much genetically from their ancestors.

I used both drypoint etching and ink and brush to create the two styles of illustration, joined together by dos รก dos binding. There is a cat flap between the two sections to show the transition from wild predator to tame lap cat that happens with our domestic cats.
