mugs for animal lovers

Do you have some feline love in your heart? Or perhaps a fondness for our feathery friends? If so, you might want to pop past Carole Smith's Etsy store – McCheek's Mayhem – and get your hands on one of her odes to these chums from the animal world.

They come in the form of hand-fired mugs featuring pretty vintage decals, and would make the perfect vessel for a steamy brew as you flip through your dog-eared copy of Moggy Monthly or Bird-Watching Digest. Like what you see? You can pick one up here.
