In Black & White

Ok- you need to know that I collect all things tuxedoed... cat that is. Hence all the black & white cat stuff that you may have noticed all around my studio. Don't get me wrong, I like most all cats, but I'm crazy about tuxedo cats.

My family and most of my friends know this. So if they see a cool tuxedo cat on a card, guess who they send it to? If they run across a black & white cat featured on a calendar, they save it for me. Here's a few of my favorites.













I got this fun and whimsical guy in Krems, Austria. Fabulous tail, no?



















This fella... I found at the Christmas market outside the RatHaus in Vienna.


















I've had this clock for some time, but it's really a poor substitute for the Felix the cat clock I used to have. It got broken and this one is close, but not near as good as the original, but then, what is?













I adore this pillow, which I picked up recently at Coldwater Creek of all places.
















And these knuckleheads?
Why they're the inspiration behind it all!

  1. Have you ever tried to design a purse that looks like a tuxedo cat? I think I'd buy that pattern in a heartbeat!

  2. I second what Sally said! I was thinking that pillow from Coldwater wouldn't be too awfully had to mimic and morph into a cute as heck handbag!

    Love your collection. I have a similar collection of Boston Terriers in honor of our Petey the Boston Terrier!
