Kat Knick Knacks

Someone earlier this week mentioned starting a thread on all the cat stuff we all have laying around our house. Had the camera in hand this morning so I took this picture and thought I'd start the thread with it.

Found this at a craft fair.

I"m not able to take a pic but I have a plaque in my entryway that says "A Cat is So Nice to Come Home To"

My cat's knick knacks are everywhere too.. scratching posts, foil balls, mice, etc etc... :D :D :D

http://www.gamers-forums.com/smilies...uppy_dog_eyes. noooooooo..... no cat nick nacks.... I have BUNCHES of cow nick nacks though... I have been collecting cows since I was 11.:) http://216.40.241.68/otn/sleepy/cowsleep.gif

Sara,

It wont show the picture! :( Darn!! I love cow stuff!! :)

I'll take a few pictures when I get home.... :D

I don't have alot but here's my favorite shelf at home. I also have a magnet that says:
Home iswhere the cat hair sticks to everything except the cat!
and a dish that says:
Everything tastes better with cat hair! ;)

How true, Tubby and Peanut's Mom and Kitten645! I was working from home yesterday and my two were so peaceful in the afternoon, full bellies from a lunchtime snack, curled in their special cat bed (with the heat pad turned on) and I thought, gosh they're so spoilt ... but who cares!!!

I have a small cross-stitch design in a frame that says "A home without a cat is just a house" and it has a black cat and a gray cat under the words. It was the first cross-stitch I did when I first got married. The cats actually matched the cats living at my in-laws house at the time.(a black and a gray tiger)

Sara, if you want cow collectables Vermont has tons!:)

Well I could really bore everyone with this topic. I am afraid I have gone way overboard here since I have LOTS of cat stuff that I have either bought myself over the years or have been given as gifts. This is a counted cross stitch picture of an orange cat that I did but I modified the face a little by making the markings closer to Trevor's markings. :)

Miss Meow,
Who deserves more to be spoiled rotten?? Unconditional love and rulers of the house! Calvin is giving me loves and head butts now. Including tapping across the keyboard! LOL Priceless and gets all the lurves he deserves!

This sign was given to me by my daugher and hangs over the basement door (which leads to the kitties' "restroom" and "dining room." :D

This was a gift from my son and also is over the top of the basement door. It is a likeness of my little Andy. :)

Another one from my son, this time it is a likeness of Trevor. :)

If Dadcat ever frees up the camera (it's recording a restoration right now, and I'd hate to have him freeze a piston if he found cat pics in the middle of a roll of car pics LOL) I'll post some of mine - I do have too much cat stuff. Oh, that's right, you can't have too much cat stuff!!
kitten645 - one of these days I've got to get that plaque I found at Seaport Village that says:
"In this house, cat fur is a condiment"
I love your magnet - hehehe - I'll have to look for some to thrill him when he goes to the fridge some time [wicked chuckle] :D
He gets really hissy about Grasshopper's fur being everywhere, except on her!!!:D
Forgot to mention - I have started collecting little cat sculpture salt and pepper shakers - only really nice, unusual ones.

I collect cats...:rolleyes:

cats

last one

Love your collection!!!!!

My whole bedroom has a cat theme. As some of you know I bought a cat quilt with two shams, 2 cat body pillows, and 2 cat embroidered pillows. I also made cat curtains to go with it. http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...6/fd828b0a.jpg http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...f/fd828b09.jpg http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...8/fd828b27.jpg http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...5/fd8a206c.jpg


I also have a collection of cat plates, a few cat figures, cat pictures, and a cat cross stitch that has a picture of a cat in a basket and it says "Love Me Love My Cat." One of my cat pictures has an orange kitten looking into a mirror and there's a lion in the mirror looking back at him. The caption is "What matters most is how you see yourself." I'll try to take some pictures of some of these tomorrow.

Oh I just love this thread. Now I don't feel like a "crazy cat lady" any more! LOL! Here are a couple more pictures of cat objects around the house. The orange kitty in the middle wasn't always orange. He was just a plain old terracotta kitty and I painted him orange to match my Trevor! I am hopeless! :rolleyes:

The wooden kitty in the middle here came from Pier One, and I picked up the two salt-glazed cats from an antique store.

I also have two cat pillows, a cat blanket/throw and several cat stuffed animals. Many of these things were gifts because my friends/family know I am a little kooky!

Well I think that I've shown you enough cat stuff. :D

KAK - SNAP! I'VE GOT THE THIRD PLATE IN YOUR PHOTOS!! LOVELY ISN'T IT?

LYNNE

Great thread! :D

I have very few cat related decoration at home... my boyfriend would desert me otherwise! :D ;) But I have a lovely oil canvas a friend gave me as a birhday present this year, and a nice Warhol´s calendar with a cat theme, of course! And, well, lots of my two furkids pics on the fridge - that makes my house feel a bit more "home" (it´s a rented flat!)

And... I must confess.. I´m an avid reader, and now read a lot of cat stuff... all my friends are having a laugh at me as I´ve always been reading (I still do! ;) ) serious stuff like Conrad, Dovstoievsky, Shakespeare, Quevedo, Lorca, Cervantes (these are Spanish writers!) - so I have to select very carefully the cat authors ;) :o ... Doris Lessing, T.S. Eliot, Patricia Highsmith, etc etc, wrote great things about cats and let me mantain my good literary reputation among my friends!! :D :D

Nita

P.S.: From now, I should add John to the list - he writes stunning stories that grasp the character of both cats and their human lovers!! :)

:eek: :eek: :D

Wow, lots of cat stuff out there. :D

Sorry I can't remember who first mentined this thread, but when they did I was trying to think of cat things I had around and that first picture was the only thing I could think of. But now, seeing everyone else's things, I've remembered (:rolleyes: ) that I have a few more. I'll have to get some pictures tonight.

I LOVE all the kitty stuff!!! I forgot to take some pictures of our stuff...but will do it tonight!

WOW! You people sure do have a lot of cat stuff around your houses!
For once, I cannot contribute, as we really don't have anything! I only have few cat post cards, that's all! :eek:
