If Mom’s a cat lover, what could be more fun that a custom Cat Mom Portrait? I saw these Etsy creations featured on moderncat recently.

Susan Faye, the artist, offers the custom original watercolor paintings of your mom (or other female) and five cats of your choice. You can get more details at Etsy. It’s too late to get one of these in time for Mother’s Day, but it would make a great birthday gift as well.
Have you incorporated cats into your Mother’s Day gifts before?

Say hello to Theophile Steinlen, Lait Sterilise. If I had my way, this print would be hanging above the fireplace. Maybe I’ll convince Michael (husband) that it won’t make me look like a crazy cat lady. It’s an ad, after all.

Ken Bailey, Chat Noir: How cute, as if a cat would display cheese for you. I love it still.

Ken Bailey, White Cat: This one’s not in French, but the cat’s tongue makes it worthwhile. I can’t stand whole milk though. Eek.
Do you have any favorite cat art?

I’ll sometimes feature a gift I think a cat lover such as myself might enjoy. But I’m picky. Very, very picky.
This lamp passed the test!
The swan-neck Three Cats lamp is available from Bella Luz Studio in Seattle. The second image shows all three sides of the lamp.
What a graceful and artistic accent piece!
Love it.

Three Cats sells as a table lantern as well.
Also earning love is the Frisky Kitty Luminette. Continue to preview.
