2018 Calendars: Artist Christina Hess

Am I lucky or what?  My friend BG gave me a gift bag full of cool stuff for the holidays!

Chili Bruce, get outta the way!

Calendar, candies, book and tote!

"William Shakesbeard"

"Slothespine Baker"

"King Tutankhameow"

Are these drawings beautiful or what?  Gorgeous!  

My photos don't do the artwork justice, but I hope that you get the idea.  The calendar is "Animals From History", and there is "Leif Roverson", "Dog Sinatra", "Kitty Roosevelt" and "Pocafawntas" too.  So imaginative, and delightful!  Thanks, BG!

2018 Calendars: Catio Tales

I received a surprise holiday gift in the mail: from Catio Tales!  Oh, my cup runneth over, and I couldn't be more delighted with the photos of Karin's kissas!

Love the synchronized bathing!

Awhile ago, when Pikku Punapippuri and Chuck were still on earth and not shining stars in the sky, Puna graciously gifted us with one of his purple beddies, here: Gifts From Far Away.  King Spitty at Spitty Speaks also has a royal purple beddy!

Thank you so very much, Catio Tales!  We know that you are all sisu, and we are glad to be counted as your friends!

2018 Calendars: Canopy Cat Rescue

Guess what I won!  A 2018 Canopy Cat Rescue calendar!

Ya know why?  Because I captioned a photo on their Facebook page...and it received the most likes.  How much fun is THAT!?!

If you don't know about these amazing folks, please click here: Canopy Cat Rescue.  A non-profit rescue operation of arborists, who climb trees to carry down marooned cats.  In Western Washington State, there are lots of tall trees, and some cats go up to avoid a predator.  Tom and Shaun rescue HUNDREDS of cats every year.  There was even a TV show on AnimalPlanet about them!

If you'd like a Canopy Cat Rescue calendar of your own, please contact them today, or simply make a donation to help out these men who are doing a terrific...and very specific...cat rescue!  My only regret is that I live too far away to visit them in purr-son, but it's on my 'to-do' list to travel to Washington to do so.

Thankful Thursday: My 2018 Fat Cat Art Calendar

"Gustav Klimt, The Kiss, true version"

"Diego Velazquez, Las Meowninas, or Fashion victim"

"Andrea Mantegna, Oculus. In Search of Lost Time and Dinner"

"Vincent van Gogh, Sunflowers are ginger kittens"

"René Magritte, The Treachery of Images. Ceci n’est pas un chat"

"Rosso Fiorentino, Musical Angel-Cat"

I have fallen in love with Zarathustra, the large ginger mancat who is the muse (mews?) for artist Sveta Petrova.  If they weren't so far away in Russia, I'd be visiting them in a heartbeat!

Sveta deliciously adds images of Zarathustra to famous artwork, which improves said art, in my humble opinion, (and so says the website!)  Above are a few photos of the 2018 calendar pages, and I could not be more delighted.

Am so very thankful that my calendar arrived recently.  I can gaze at Zarathustra to my heart's content.

Go to Fat Cat Art (in Russia) or Contrado (in U.K.) to buy wonderful images, scarves, bags, books, and more.  There is a 'Mona Lisa With Her Cat' shirt in my very near future, you can bet your boots on that!
