that cat's got real pretty eyes.
There once was a cat on the wall
In a dark corner of Mrs. G's hall
The Mr. said "ICK!"
"It's making me sick!"
So it toured the U.S., scaring all.
I too love cats and if I don't win I for sure will have to buy one of these. It is very cool!
What Kate said!!!!
When we were first introduced to the kitty art I was on the 'Give Mr. G. a break and take that thing out of the bedroom' camp. I have since learned the error of my ways. A kitty convert, I am.
Kate I said describing the BEAUTY. Don't give Gary an ideas.
I can't let Gary
Be the first with a haiku
For this awesome cat.
Nicely done, Kate. Setting the bar high early in the game.
That is one hot pussy!
Suffice to say I've never seen one quite like it ... and we're moving to OR next week, so maybe my odds of seeing its cousin are improved!
'Tis timelessly beautiful, and I will help you with airmail costs should I win. At an outdoor market I recently saw a nearly matching gigantic beach towel and thought of you. But I assume you don't want to be inundated with mediocre, er, I mean priceless cat art from around the globe?
My aunt had a cat which looked exactly like your folk art cat. Her name was "Melisma" because she went howling around all day in that Siamese way, running vocal scales up and down like a furry Mariah Carey. I think that portrait is GENIUS!
That is a pretty pretty cat!
Come to mama, Kitty.
so...i'm not a fan of cats, but...for the sake and prosperity of Derfdom (and because i think that if i carried that container about, it would be a conversation starter), i'll say that you couldn't have picked a more perfect picture to represent what the Manor is all about...and for that i will say that she (he?) is just beeeeyutiful.
Slinky Siamese
Staring from my coffee cup
Freaky deep blue eyes
Man, I haven't written a haiku in years. That was fun! Thanks for the chance Mrs. G!
Here Kitty Kitty!! Come on you puddy-tat!!!
I take in all kinds
But my first? A Siamese.
Her name was Bambi.
Oh my, your priceless, folk-art cat is so very beautiful!
Dear Lucky Derf,
Would you like a smidgen of dead mouse with your coffee?
No? Your loss.
XOX,
your beautimous, priceless, folk art kitty
Oh kitty kitty
Sitting pretty on a cup
I'll fill with coffee
Hey I did it! I haven't tried to write haiku since hating it in high school!
See what you've done Rith
Turning us into poets
And now we know it
Oh dear - I haven't had enough coffee to be as creative as Deborah, Kate, Denise, DaniH and CLaudia. Although perhaps there is not enough coffee in the world to describe the beauty of that cat.
You know how much I love cat art!
The cat sits regal in its frame
Surveying all in its domain
The fairest feline on the wall
Why, that's the Derfwad mascot, y'all.
Looking forward to meeting Mrs. G and the Art Cat soon.
Love this mug. I miss my kitty Snickers; she's been gone a year.
Meow.
This pretty kitty
has a twin in Seattle
real kitty Jimmu
Siamese Ruler
I shall dominate it all
bow down to the meow
Allow me to steal this:
soft kitty, warm kitty, little ball of fur sleepy kitty, happy kitty, purr, purr, purr
I have tuna
Having seen the PRICELESS folk art in person already, you all are in for a huge treat! Mrs. G's kitty portrait is all kinds of awesome. In short, it is beautiful.
Now how did I miss this mug when I placed my order? 15oz of coffee? I'll have this and 2 refills daily, please!
Siamese kitty
piercing blue eyes stare at me
I hope I win it!
Love me some kitteh!
I need the coffee and the siamese to go please.
"pussy cat, pussy cat, I love youuuu...."
Mustang Sally, I love the idea of inundating Heather with priceless cat art! But I also sympathize with Mr. G. Greatly.
I love all cats. If the cat is creepy and his eyes follow me around the room, I can turn the mug the other way.
Does that count as a compliment?
Only a mother understands the love between a cat and another...
oh, kitty kitty
fill me up with coffee and
bring peace to Mid East!
There is no kitty, quite a pretty, as the kitty on the steel mug...I think it was pretty good up until the end!
When you say 'beauty' ....
Vous avez là un chat magnifique Madame G.!
Mrs. G hung a cat on the wall
That would either enchant or appall
It would follow with its eyes
Mrs. G when she’d rise
And when into her bed she would fall.
I NEED this!!
...and don't forget who so selflessly sent you the photo upon which your folk art cat was modeled. Yup. That would be me.
I meant to say, "your beautiful, priceless folk art cat". Indeed, I did.
Beautiful priceless folk art cat - I think that there should be a collection of them!
I used to have a piece of priceless folk art that I bought at the Goodwill in Maple Valley, WA. It was of a red-haired lady in an orange and teal argyle sweater vest. Done in oils. House guests would always ask who it was, and I would answer "My Great Aunt Lucretia." Loved that painting. But I eventually succumbed to the taunts and threats of my family and got rid of it. I've regretted it ever since.
I wish I had fortitude and courage like yours with the kitty painting. Love that kitty.
Ice blue feline eye
Staring me down with disdain
Must bow before Cat!
One can never have too many travel mugs---especially one with cool kitty artwork! See you in a month!
I saw a horribly lovely cat painting on Antiques Roadshow awhile ago. Of course I can't remember the details right now, but it was worth a LOT of money. So hang on to those feline frames, you just never know!
As an art appraiser I am qualified to deem that fabulous folk art - PRICELESS. The Keno brothers would have to agree with me.
Unabashedly thieving the song... (which will be stuck in our heads the rest of the night)
He is Siamese if you please
He is Siamese if you don't please
He is from a residence of Bellevue
There is no finer cat in your purview
Mrs. G and cat will soon be driving round and round
Maybe we can reach each Derfwad in their town
If we sneaking up on a Derf carefully
There will be head for you and a tail for Mrs. G.
He is Siamese if you please
He is Siamese if you don't please
Now planning for each temporary domisile
If we like, we stay for maybe quite a while
