Cats of the New York City!

ny1

And we are back from New York! Terribly jet-lacked, with bags full of chocolate and shopping, and dying to see little Brucy who stayed with friends, yesterday we got back to Paris from our US holiday.

Needless to say that we found NY amazing. We were lucky to stay in East Village, next to Parsons Design Schoo and NYU – an area full of students, small, unique coffee shops, that reminded me a lot of London. We also visited the Times Square, Brooklyn, Greenwich, Soho and Chelsea – all amazing parts of Manhattan, each unique in its own way. In every part of New York we came across many cat references – in t-shirts, graffitis, books and art plays and here are a few in these photos!

Brucy was delighted to see us and get back home – I never heard her purr so much! So in summary, these very really purrrfect holidays!

The Catastic MoMA selection

moma, art, cat, new york

I am very excited to be going to New York next month for the first time and one of my must-see-places is the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). I was browsing through their website, looking to reserve tickets, when I came across their amazing online art-inspired store. Being the shopaholic I am, I couldn’t not share some amazing cat things!

For example,  I love this stunning Cat Luggage Tag designed based on a Michael Hartfelder 2010 print for only $8.00. And how beautiful is this red-and-orange, fluid birds mobile designed by C. Saddle and K. Komagata? I think its vivid colours would make it a great addition to any room.  Finally, let’s not forget about our furry friends – this designer fish-pet-mat is just what your cat needs!

Amazing, just another reason to go 🙂

Don’t miss the L.A.-CAT event of the year!

Today I decided to do a tribute blog post to an amazing Russian blog – FatCatArt (because you probably don’t know it, but I’m Russian). It is a great fun blog that photoshops a fat cat (very adorable) into famous paintings! Sooo much fun 🙂 What is your favourite photo? Like our blog and follow by email!

Let’s be honest – we all love cats and love clothes, accessories and home ware items with cats on them. Luckily for us, it is possible to find cat-inspired home décor items that are also contemporary and cool (and do not shout “crazy cat lady”). I decided to give you a selection of my latest home “must-haves” that would allow you to integrate discretely (*cough*) your passion-for-cats into your home interior.

I especially love the limited edition “Master and Margarita” art print from a new London printing brand, The Affair. This stunning print is dedicated to one the most memorable characters from this novel – Begemoth, the cat. A must-have for a cat and/or literature lover!

2. Robin Murphy’s « Couching cat »

3.  Laura Graves’ « Cats »

4. Jordan Carter’s « The Crazy Cat »

5. Anna Ryasnova’s « Sphynx cat »

Last week, I had the chance to visit the stunning exposition of Ron Mueck’s works. One of them included a giant chicken that hang upside down from the ceiling by a meat hook. It was spectacularly realistic and inspired me to do a post on art that our cats would like.

I love this selection of sculptures, art prints and cushions, all on a cat-inspired theme. One of my personal favorites – this remarkable handmade needle felted spynx cat, created by a Spanish arts designer Anna Ryasnova. All of her creations are hand made with the needle felting technique and made to order.
