This hooked rug is of two cats, one drinking milk while the other looks on. There are a pair of butterflies fluttering about as well in the background. It is unknown who designed this hooked rug. It is hooked with acrylic and wool yarns on a burlap backing. It was used as a rug and shows some wear around the edges.
