This 6"x6" trivet is a useful and decorative conversation piece for your kitchen counter, dining table or coffee table. It has felt pads on the back and features Hot Rod, a young kitten who suffered a serious injury before coming to C & W. OUr vet at the time, Jenni Doll, did a marvelous "reconstruction" job on the little one and her daughter dubbed him 'sock kitty' as he always had his diaper and 'sock' on. This kitten taught all of us who worked daily with him so much... about life, taking all things in stride, and his compassion shone through his gold, gold eyes with such an all knowing look... he was amazing. We honor his memory with this trivet.
