Copy Cat

Today at the Katnip Lounge there was a fantastic post about cat collectibles! The kitties featured pictures of all their mum's beautiful cat memorabilia. I thought this was such a neat idea that I grabbed my camera and took a few pictures of my own cat treasures. I hope the Lounge kitties don't mind that I copied their post, after all imitation is the sincerest form of flattery :-)

Here are some of my favourites:

First off is a print by contemporary artist Linda Le Kinff, I particularly like her because she almost always paints a cat or two into her works. I was on a cruise somewhere between Tunisa and Spain when I bought this and four other items, at an onboard art auction after having been plied with champagne - LOL!


This sweet water colour came home with me from Maui, it is by a local artist named Eleykaa


I bought this cat sculpture locally because he is a little grey boy like Max


This mask is from New Orleans


This mask was handmade in Venice, I picked it out at a cool shop just off Piazza San Marco and my sister gave it to me for my birthday


These glass kitties are also from Venice, my mum bought them for me


I bought this sleeping cat at some junky store in Toronto about twenty years ago and I can't tell you how many people do a double-take to check if he is real


I picked up this print in Key West, by local artist Suzy Pena


Of course these cats are the most beloved of all
