This box figurine is based on Peter's kitten, Algy.
Here Algy gets into trouble while chasing a bird, upsetting a flowerpot full of bulbs.
The mouse is upside down under a leaf near Algy's paw.
Inside Version 2 there are three balls of wool and a pair of knitting needles.
The inscription on the lid, "ZOE BAIN," refers to an old girlfriend
of Peter's with whom he had lost touch.
Peter inscribes, "July 3 Where R U?" (the arrow pointing to Peter's e-mail address)
in hopes that Zoe might see his message and contact him.
The e-mail address was removed on Version 2.
