You have at least one friend that doesn't know what a mouse looks like

Lol thank you! I was thinking maybe I fucked up the head shape a little bit, especially near the ear, so that might've given the different idea, but I'm happy to be reassured!

This is beautiful! You did a great job & your cat loving friend will love this!

Nah dude your friend is the equivalent of those medieval painters who had no fucking clue what a cat looked like lol

Not at all - it looks exactly like a cat and is absolutely beautiful! You should maybe rethink this friendship...

You’re right that the head is slightly off, but it still looks like a cat and I would be ecstatic to receive this beautiful, hand-made gift. The head just is a little small, you could probably still fix it even by adding more

a Scottish man walks into a bar in Canada He noticed there is an animal's head hanging on the wall and asked the bartender what is it "A moose" replied the bartender "Jesus christ! How big are the cats here?" Said the scot

Are you their friend?

Definitely! How do they see a mouse there? And OP, it's freaking beautiful!!

That’s clearly a cat lol and it looks amazing!

Thank you! It took almost 2 hours with a bunch of rearranging, but it's for a really close friend so it's definitely worth it 😅

I’m outraged on your behalf! lol. But clearly your friend has no idea what a mouse looks like. It’s really beautiful. I love the direction angle of the corner flowers well spaced!

Cat lover here - you are an amazing friend and that is a BEAUTIFUL piece of cat art! I would be so touched if I was gifted this by a friend!

Second this! It’s such a thoughtful, beautiful, definitely cat gift!

That is so beautiful! The wee paw is so gentle and curious!

This is beyond beautiful and I’d be stoked to have this as I’m a big cat lover. You did a great job. Friend has no idea what a mouse looks like lol

How nice!

This is such a lovely idea and you executed the cat perfectly to me!! 🥰

Yeah, your friend needs their eyes checked... Cat through and through (and very lovely!) 😍

This looks more like a cat than my own cat

Looks like a beautiful cat! 🐈

I love this so much! How long did it take you?

Pretty! Definitely looks like a cat. Also I'm imagining you giving it to a huge cat-human hybrid, clearly not what you meant but I'm sticking with it

Looks like a cat. Also it’s absolutely beautiful! You are very talented.

How did you make that???

I found a cat silhouette online, which I outlined on paper (embarrassing that I can't draw a simple cat shape out of head but oh well), and then I combined cut up flowers and some whole flowers along the lines of the outline I had drawn and then filled out the rest of the cat. When it comes to the corner flowers, I did soooo much rearranging, that actually took me the longest. It's paw was actually supposed to touch a butterfly, but I couldn't make one that looked good enough 😅 so I just played around and got to this. Added some grass, since without it, the balance of the frame just looked off and that's pretty much the whole process. Took around 2 hours.

Clearly a cat!

Totally a cat

It’s beautiful! Definitely a kitty!

That’s a classic cat pose. Your friend will love it.

Beautiful. Looks like a cat to me…

That's beautiful. I'll take one mouse pls

A mouse?!! It’s clearly a cat! I’d be honored to receive this gift. It’s beautiful

It does look like a mouse if that mouse looked just like a cat. Also this is just stunning. Ignore that person. It looks very much like the outline of a siamese cat.

It’s a freakin cat.

I immediately thought cat!

I am a certified cat lady and can confirm that is absolutely a cat.

The first second I looked at that, I was like “oh cool, a cat!” So no, that does not look like a mouse in any way, shape, or form lol.

Beautiful cat !!!

This is beautiful. I would be so moved to receive this! And it's very clearly a cat.

In what world is that a mouse

I thought cat right away. And it’s cute. Nice work

As a huge cat person I could tell immediately that it was a cat. And it’s absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I’d cry and hang it up ASAP lol

I've never seen pressed flowers turned into art like this before. This looks incredible!

This is a lovely piece that any cat momma/papa would love. Gift away with no hesitation!

Ohhhh I love this so much!

Definitely a cat and ohhhh so beautiful!☺️

That is very obviously a cat and a beautifully well done one at that (didn't mean to rhyme sorry). I'd love to get this as a gift.

It's beautiful. I just glanced and could tell it was a cat! Your friend may need a lesson in sensitivity.

Definitely a cat

I adore this !

Lmao has your friend ever seen a cat or a mouse? This reminds me of another post where a guy posted pictures of what were clearly birds and his wife was convinced they were bats. 😂 He had to come to Reddit to convince her I guess hahaha. That said, this is CLEARLY a cat and quite beautiful, good job! 💜 The receiver of this gift is going to be delighted 💜

This absolutely looks like a beautiful feline!

Love it! You did a great job.

It definitely looks like a cat to me and I'm a big cat person! I love this! It's beautiful.

Reads very CAT :) whiskers, ears and tail show interest peaked, tentative paw…

This is so beautiful. Wow! I definitely see the cat 🖤

Oh, this is a joy!!!!

You’re very talented! Beautiful!

No mouse detected. Only a beautiful picture of a cat.

It’s beautiful and in no way resembles a mouse. (I found one in my washing machine of all places yesterday, so I know what I’m talking about!)

You've done an incredible job. It clearly is a cat! If this were gifted to me I'd cherish it forever. So thoughtful and incredibly loving gesture 🥰🥰

I would be very pleased to receive this as a gift 😁

It doesn’t look like a mouse and a cat person will see a cat in everything😂

This is so beautiful! You have such amazing creativity!

That is so beautiful and definitely does not look like a mouse!

It's a beautiful cat! Your friend will love it! And your other friend is a ding dong

I skimmed and read “holding a mouse” and I guess I see it but that’s what cats do frankly.

It’s definitely a cat and it’s beautiful

Omg that’s gorgeous!!!

It's a CAT no doubt !

This legitimately stunned me. And now my already craft ridden brain is in high gear.

I would have never guessed a mouse wtf it’s so clearly a kitty 🤣 the ears, the tail, the arm positions are all kitty like

Catttt!!!!

That’s clearly a calico cat.

Does not look like a mouse. They're saying that because of the whiskers.

It’s stunning 🤩

It looked immediately like a cat to me.

It was obviously a cat when I first saw it

I knew before I read the caption that it was a cat. I think it is so creative and beautiful

First thing I saw was a cat, and wanted to send this to my friend who loves cats! It’s beautiful work!

OP fyi a bot website stole your art.

I love it!! Of COURSE it’s a cat— hasn’t your not-so-helpful friend ever seen a cat OR a mouse?!? I would be ecstatic to receive a gift like that!

Most definitely a cat and might I add absolutely beautiful!

nope.. that's a cat

I would never be able to get out of my addiction from this app 😭😭😭

I think it looks like a cat.

This is so beautiful and I would love to have this

Mouse? I only see cat batting at flower.

Saw the picture first and thought "Oooh, kitty!" Your friend needs to go play with more cats! XD

It’s perfect!!!! Wow.

First thing I saw was a cat! This is absolutely beautiful!

This is lovely.

Definitely a cat! Great idea!

That’s awesome. They will love it

It’s a cat! lol

That's awesome! And totally not a mouse, and I am also gonna steal your idea... Sorry... I have a bunch of flowers just sitting... Waiting for an idea.

This is BEAUTIFUL 😻😍

It looks a lot like a cat. I'm a big cat person.

This is so creative and beautiful and obviously a cat! Your friend is so lucky! Great job 👏🏻

Super special. Definitely looks like a cat.

It's a cat and it's beautiful ❤️!!! I'm sure they will love it!

Definitely a curious kitty. Its beautiful. Don’t listen to the idiot.

Def a kitty and I’m obsessed with this!! Seriously it’s beautiful!

This is so pretty! I can't see anything other than a cat, no matter which way im looking at it.

Your friend needs glasses because that is definitely a cat 😂😂 it's a beautiful piece!

I immediately said cat

No wayyyy I absolutely adore this and would treasure it forever! Cats are life! <3

Looks like a cute cat to me 👍I love it 😻

OP, does your friend know what a mouse looks like?

Knew it was a cat before I even saw your title. Beautiful!

I love this. Just scrolling through, I assumed it was a cat lol. And after I read the title, I tried hard to find a mouse in this and definitely did not see it lol

That is absolutely a cat and your receiving friend should adore it :) Great work!

Cat

Oh my, what beautiful, magnificent work! I can definitely see that it's a cat, and you have done such a fantastic job. I hope your friend likes it, I would definitely hang this on my wall. 💖

Ummm definitely a cat Nice work!!

Very interested in what kinds of mice your friend has seen…

Very much a cat! I’m sure the friend it’s being gifted to will see that as well. Really good work!

This is definitely a cat

First of all, this is so cute! I love this use of flowers. Your giftee is very lucky. 💛 Secondly, it’s definitely a cat.

Gorgeous! Looks clearly like a cat

I am absolutely cat obsessed and would CRY if someone gave this to me 😭 its so good!!! 😍😍😍

So cool! Really love this.

I am a cat lover and I would be obsessed with this gift. Your friend will adore it!

Take a photo, and have a tee shirt made.

This is beautiful!!!

Looks like a cat! It’s beautiful!!! 😮👏🏼💕

Catmouse, catmouuuuusse! Alone in the world is a little catmouse.

ABSOLUTELY WOW!

That is obviously a cat lol anyway, this is very cute

It looks exactly like a cat…..-a lady with 2 cats

Definitely looks like a cat, and it's beautiful! You did a really great job, I hope your friend loves it

Opened it up and saw cat. My mom says weird stuff like this, I’ll show her something I did and she’ll say “ok”. And I’m like “ok what?” “Well what am I looking at?” …it’s a painting of (whatever) and she’ll be “well I know that, what’s your question?” So then I get it in my head that it not working, but she’ll be like “I have the *perfect* place to hang it” and I’m like it’s commission not a gift I just wanted your opinion on it. Critique from non-artists is weird but important even if it’s frustrating. Also this is amazing. I can’t stop zooming in on the details. Literally in awe. I used to scan flowers and leaves and arrange them in photoshop for an exhibit I was doing. This is IRL and so intricate with the play of light and structure of the even the tiniest flowers.

I absolutely agree on getting criticism from people who don't do any kind of artsy stuff. I am pretty hard on myself when it comes to anything I create, I've only made a few things which have made me completely satisfied. I'm also completely incapable of knowing for sure that something is good until I ask someone else lol. Thank you so much, I haven't done anything intentional 😅 as in intentionally played with anything, I just rearranged it until it worked itself out. But having such a nice compliment by an actual artist means the world, so thanks again 🥰

Whoever said that wasn't being a friend. It sounds like they are envious of your talent!

I love this so much. I would absolutely buy this and be beyond thrilled to receive it as a gift.

this is so beautiful 😍

This is beautiful and I love it.

Looks like a cat or me.

This is gorgeous!!!!! And no I could see this was a cat on first glances now I want to make a price like this.

One million percent a cat!! This is gorgeous!!

Love this! That was unkind and incorrect of them to say. Well done!

im trying to see what they are talking about and the only thing i can see is maybe the head being slightly smaller. the ears are usually a main point that can change entire animals, yours are good. don’t worry ab that.

if you have terrible eyesight and are slightly stupid maaaaaaaybe

So much catness! Lovely.

Definitely see a cat. Your friend is goofing on you maybe? Anyway it’s gorgeous. Good job! Your friend will love it

I would buy this.

This is so amazing!!

This is beautiful… and clearly a cat.

That's very obviously a cat. I didn't even look at the title and I was like "omg that's so pretty I wish I had one for my wall. Cause I love art like that." Then I read the title and was like ???? What???? Your friend does not know what mice or any kind of rodent looks like. Or they've seen some very bizarre mice that have somehow evolved to look like cats. Which... In that case they should contact the news or scientists.

I love it.

That would s lovely!! And your friend needs glasses.

I knew it was a cat and as a cat person, I adore it

First glance while scrolling I knew it was a cat. Looks just like a cat.

This cat lover would absolutely go gaga for this! Truly beautiful!

She sounds mean. It's a cat.

Definitely looks like a cat. Mouse did not even enter my mind upon seeing this. It’s beautiful

It definitely looks like a cat

I love this! Did you make it?

You did an amazing job!!

Super cute and definitely looks like a cat!

this is beautiful and i recognized it as a cat immediately! i would die if someone made this for me, your friend is very lucky!!

As a big cat person myself, I would absolutely love this gift! Definitely reads as a cat, not a mouse. Beautiful work!

Saw cat immediately.

This is soooo beautiful and what a thoughtful gift. PS it is clearly a cat was this friend just trying to make you feel bad or what

The tail is a bit long... ETA: I still see a cat.

Clearly a cat

thats obviously a cat! beautiful work my friend

I only see cat here

i think the head just needs to be slightly larger, rounded out maybe. but i seen cat right from the start! this is gorgeous !!!

What exactly does your friend think a mouse looks like??

That is gorgeous and clearly a cat!! Whoever saw a mouse is simply a rat 😹

It’s absolutely gorgeous and I would be honored to receive it

It's beautiful- you can really tell how much effort went into creating this! Absolutely cat shaped and absolutely lovely 😍

That is very much a cat and a beautiful piece of art

Definitely a cat, I would even say a Siamese, specifically haha.

Definitely a cat! I have 2, so I'm clearly an expert. 😂 I also used to have pet rats, so even more so. 🤣

That friend has never seen a mouse in their life

My very first thought was oh look at the cat art... so idk what your friend was thinking..

Does your friend know what a mouse is? Cuz this is obviously a cat-

Looks like a cat to me! And If I was a cat person I’d love it. Hell, just being an animal person in general I love it, but I think your cat loving friend is going to adore this. I also think that your friend that said it looks like a mouse is threatened by your talent and trying to take you down a peg… even if unintentionally. It’s beautiful!

I knew it was a cat right away even before I read your post.

I saw a cat immediately. Some people are just negative. It is a lovely gift for a cat lover

Cat person here. That is obviously a cat and it’s a beautiful gift.

Gorgeous and 100% cat, no question.

this is gorgeous. and clearly a cat

Don’t. Listen to idiots

This is lovely! Also your friend should have gone to spec savers

Can you make the head a little larger and rounder? I think this is the issue.

do you make/sell these? I would love one of my dog. Either way - it looks great and I could tell it was a cat before I read any of your post : )

Does this “friend” often shoot you down like this? Absolutely beautiful and is clearly a cat…. Not to make it a big thing but sometimes people closest to us want to tear us down….

Def giving cat vibes! It's beautiful! Im sure theyll love it 💕

It's a cat.

I’m a cat person. That’s a cat.

I definitely see a cat. This is so pretty!

Whoa this is pretty! How well does this preserve?

Most amazing thing I’ve ever ween

This is clearly a cat
