A Cat Holiday Mug in My Likeness - By Peaches the Cat


Hola...my human decided to make CAT MUGS for others in her Etsy shop, so guess who was her First Model...ME!

At first I thought it was all about "ME" and that this was a present.  Turns out, I was a "guinea pig" ("cat?") for mugs she intended to make for others!   I DID think such an effort was definitely worth my explorations...

So I took a good long look at the "device. After all such items MUST pass my "INspection."  I checked every detail, if she was going to "sell" these things to. "others."
It then occurred to me, there might be a wonderful treat inside.  Well, you never know...Much to my human's disapproval, I poked my nose right into the mug to "cat-vestigate..."


Well, much to my disappointment, I found nothing inside of culinary value!  Nevertheless, I put my "seal of approval" on the item...after all, it WAS a flattering likeness...


My human insisted I show you mugs of "other cats" she's making...now THIS I do not approve of.     











Myself and Paprika should be her only cats of interest don't. you agree?




We are joining The Cat On My Head's Sunday Hop today!

Autumn Bliss Caturday


 We absolutely LOVE the crisp season of fall.  Why?  We love to look out the window and watch those colorful LEAVES floating around in crazy patterns.  At first we thought they were birds.  But with the advent of years we realize they are now just beautiful little things to watch and enjoy...we can't EAT them!

 Orange, Yellow, Red, Brown....Do YOU like watching the leaves drift by? 

Love, Peaches and Paprika

Today we're joining Athena and Marie's artsy Caturday Hop!

More Cat Artist Winners from Fine Art America Contests

 HAPPY HALLOWEEN everyone!  Our human, Mom Carol has a real treat in store for you!  She figures you have gotten tired of looking at US all the time, so she has lined up an incredibly diversified cast of WINNERs from our second cat artist contest on her online group, FINE ART AMERICA.  

This contest was judged by four arts group leaders and the winners were a consensus of all!

Without further ado, here are the talented CAT HALLOWEEN ARTISTS & their Creations!


A Halloween Scene
1st Place: Cindy Leapart's Creation "A Halloween Scene" is a whimsical creation of an elegant furball who would be a bat!  There he/she is, all dressed up like the bats outside the window.  They may be beckoning him but he does not look sure about it all! 


Halloween Scene With Kitten
Our 2ND prize winner is Jon Fennel's endearing creation entitled "Halloween Scene with Kitten." 

Well to tell the truth THIS kitten doesn't look like any kitten WE've ever seen and we want to know how she balances that Looong hat.  But she did win the hearts of many and who can resist a kitten anyway?  I say, we grown up cats don't stand a chance! Note the decorative fall background surrounding this little cutie,....




3rd Place winner is Leann Piermont Camut's creation, "The Cat Coven."   Now this is one scary scene.  Are those cats REALLY witches?  They sure look like they know what they're doing.  We've often played around at being witches, but this crowd looks SERIOUS.  We hope they don't have OUR address!


HONORABLE MENTIONS

Just the Cat in the Hat
We bet you'll like these next four creations  too.  There are four of them who tied for honorable mention. 1) Angela Davies hero, "Just The Cat In the Hat," is apparently an executive cat who has been put in charge of 3 pumpkins. Great job guarding them!

2) Barron Holland's "Black Cat on Halloween Pumpkin is a quite inventive scene!  A dramatic black cat in the well known "arched  back" posture is performing in front of a group of awestruck humans playing a ferocious, apparently hissing spooky cat and performing a pawesome rendition of a traditional halloween felineHis electrified audience is obviously impressed!  OR...he might REALLY be serious!


#3: Our next striking cat artist and creation is Epta Gupta and her utterly charming "Vincent Van Cat."  We think his multiple colors, fashionable halloween apparel, pumpkin cone hat and riveting background make him a MOST impressive charmer.
He is bound to impress the ladies in any season!

Our last #4 honorable mention Cat is meant to scare us all a bit, he's Newel Hunter's #4  creation called "SPOOKED."   We ask you:  could you look into those orange eyes and NOT be scared?   Because of this last cat we may not sleep as well as usual tonight and its all our human's fault. We told her we could supply her with many pictures of US, but NOooo, she likes variety!


Hopefully you've had a good time looking at these amazing creative creatures by other cat artists, all in a different style.  However, we DO think it's appropriate to close with a Meow-leen picture of US! Don't you agree? Being little vampires is our choice this year!  Love, Peaches & Paprika
