These unique art sculptures were created by Canadian multimedia artist Jeff de Boer. The miniature suits of armor are made in remarkable detail and designed for cats and mice as imaginative art objects. Although the armor looks realistic, it is not intended to be worn by living animals.

The small cat and mouse armor pieces are crafted in detail from materials such as brass, copper, bronze, nickel, steel, silver, leather, and wood.
