The series begins with Cat in the Hat I, featuring a graceful black cat standing proudly in a festive Santa hat tied with a bright red ribbon. Elegant and poised, the solitary feline embodies the quiet anticipation of the holiday season.

In Cat in the Hat II, Moss introduces a playful companion perched upon the larger cat’s back. The interaction between the two creates a heartwarming scene filled with friendship, trust, and curiosity.

The trilogy concludes with Cat in the Hat III, where the original feline is joined by two smaller companions, creating a charming portrait of family and togetherness. Their festive attire and affectionate arrangement evoke memories of Christmas gatherings, treasured pets, and the happiness found in simple traditions.

Together, these three lithographs create a beautiful visual progression celebrating companionship, family, and the magic of the holiday season.

Style & Technique

P. Buckley Moss’s signature folk-art style shines throughout Cat in the Hat Set. The elegant black cat silhouettes are instantly recognizable and showcase Moss’s extraordinary ability to convey personality through simplicity.

Minimalist compositions, soft winter backgrounds, and carefully placed accents of festive red create a sophisticated seasonal palette. The Santa hats and ribbons provide vibrant focal points while preserving the understated elegance collectors admire in Moss’s work.

Each piece demonstrates Moss’s talent for storytelling through subtle gestures and composition. Without relying on elaborate details, she allows posture and placement to communicate affection, playfulness, and emotional connection.

As a limited edition matched numbered lithograph set, all three prints share the same edition number, significantly enhancing their collector appeal. The lithographic process faithfully preserves Moss’s delicate linework and soft color transitions, making the set both visually striking and highly collectible.
