Cat Thoughts - 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle (Cobble Hill)

Count the cats before you even start sorting pieces. There's a ginger tom perched on a garden chair, a tuxedo cat guarding a stack of old books, two black kittens sharing a heart-shaped biscuit, and a fluffy grey one curled up in a basket of yarn. Each is set inside its own circular frame, surrounded by sunflowers, poppies, geraniums and the odd snowman, so the whole box reads like a scrapbook page rather than one single scene.

That makes this one a nice change from a traditional landscape build. You're not hunting for one horizon line - you're working panel by panel, matching each cat to its coloured background and the little hand-written captions dotted between them. The pastel pinks, blues and greens keep each section distinct, so it sorts more easily than the piece count might suggest.

Cobble Hill have packed in enough variety - autumn leaves, spring blooms, a winter snowman - that it doesn't feel tied to one time of year, which makes it an easy puzzle to reach for any time you fancy something cheerful and cat-themed on the table.
