Yes, I said feline "fiends."
With cats being the number one pet in the US, there are many choices for cat lover gifts.
They make great presents for any occasion.
Let's look at some popular ideas and products for cats and their owners, or people who just appreciate the sneaky little buggers.
Here are some ideas:
Some suggestions here include calendars, wall plaques, coasters, trivets, cups, and mugs.
Items for the PC user are always a hit, such as mouse pads, screen savers, and laptop skins. Cat magazines are a great idea as well.
If all else fails, you can't go wrong with a cat key chain...
Figurines and collectibles, including Christmas ornaments are good ideas. Holiday and seasonal decorations, as well as other year round decorative products for the cat lover are very popular. Plush toys are a good one as well.
Over the years, many a famous artist has painted the cat. Cat paintings were creations of such famous artists as Renoir, Toulouse-Lautrec, Manet, da Vinci, Picasso, and Chagall.
Gottfried Mind, however, was the first painter to specialize in cat portraits. Most other artists focused on people, with cats or other animals as companions in the photos. Mind is said to have worked with kittens draped on his shoulder and their mother cat nearby.
Cat posters and framed art make great additions and spruce up a living room, kitchen, or bedroom. Whether it's classic Mind or Renoir, or a modern lithograph of a cat with sunglasses on, cat posters make a spectacular choice for cat lover gifts. Posters are perfect for graduations, birthdays, or as a send-off for new college students.
In the 1890's the work of Theophile-Alexandre Steinlen, a graphic artist, was seen all over Paris in posters and advertisements. His work is just as popular today, and you can hang it in your home.
His most famous painting is "Chat Noir" which you've probably seen. That poster, and others, are available from AllPosters.com at the following link...
