Why Feathers for Millie?

My wife's friend Lynne has a tuxedo cat named Millie.

Lynne adopted Millie after the formerly feral kitten was hit by a car

and rescued by the kindness of a diverse group of cat bloggers.

Millie likes to sit in the window and watch the birds.

Why the name Second Chance?

Just after I finished turning the bowl, 

I dropped it and it broke.

Rather than throw away the pieces,

I took advantage of the unexpected design opportunity.
