What do cats do? They refine the art of ambivalence. Then they act really foolish and fall off of things or chase their tails, making us wonder if there’s a conclusive thought in their walnut-brains at all. It’s this contrast — the contempt and the clumsiness — that make cats so easy to obsess over. Mine, shown above, goes by the name Casper, and he’s pretty useless with the exception of being more fun to watch than digital cable. If you’re like me, a cat lover, take a gander at these little cat-inspired pieces. Maybe you’ll get inspired to sing your cat-love from the rooftops, or at least pour yourself a cup of tea.
Cat burger print, $10 from Etsy. This seller has gazillions of incredibly unique prints. Check them all out.
Paw Me a Cup Tea Set, $45.99 from ModCloth
The kitty is sitting in two nestled mugs with tails for handles. Kind of amazing.
Bernardaud’s “Geraldine’s” bowls make the image of a cat when filled with liquid. Kinda totally brilliant. [via MarthaStewart]
Can’t have a real cat? Give Diego a try. He’s $19, cute and knows how to cuddle. Or perhaps he’d be best as a fluffy friend for your sentient feline.
Feeling lucky? Maybe this little guy will help keep your cavities away. $12 from Urban Outfitters.
Does your boring iPhone case need some purrrsonality? $16 will get you this seriously cute case.
This delicate little guy from ModCloth comes with his own avian friend to help him stir sugar into your tea.
Wrap Midi Dress In Cat Print, $48.34 from Asos
An homage in the form of fashion, this allover print is cat-lady chic.
If it’s subtlety you’re after, these little kitty ears for your fingers are a delicate way to remind yourself you’ve got a purr-box waiting at home for you. $10 from Etsy.
Silkscreen cat tee, $16 from Etsy. Adorable and affordable.
Sometimes you just can’t keep these kinds of things to yourself. I know, there are just as many cat haters out there, but the truth is we’re all jealous of how they just get to sit around and be adorable all day. Me, I’m just glad I’ve got the dope to come home to…and feed…and clean out his litter box…and say “WHAT?!” to when he won’t stop meowing. Le sigh, the pleasures of having a feline companion.
Are you a cat lover? Would you rock any of these items?

I want the bowls and the tea pot set so bad now! I just don’t know how to get the bowls because the website doesn’t list a price or anything, just a phone number, which is a bit sketchy….but damn it I want those….

I’d rather a cat with me at all times. Loving me and being insanely cute. But it would have to be one that somehow doesn’t shed. That or I’d definitely need to buy myself a Schticky.

If my mom was alive, I’d definitely get her a couple of these.

@kackie - EVERYTHING would be better if EVERYONE could hug a cat at all moments. Seriously. On numerous occasions my cat has walked up to the bathroom door as I was about to go in, and if I give him a few seconds he’ll walk in, so I’ll go to the bathroom while my cat sits there looking adorable. Makes peeing like a fun activity! LOL.

The rings are cute

@ashleynicole - My kitties come in the bathroom with me while I shower. One, named Trouble (and for a good reason!) will literally sit and meow until I get out. It’s the cutest thing ever, but I hate making him wait! Lol. Then he rubs on my legs and I’m trying to wipe cat fur off my freshly cleaned skin… hahaha.
Oh yeah. And they climb in my pants when I sit down to pee. Once, one of them literally just laid down right in my sweatpants. It was a pain in the ass to get her out!
But anyhow. I definitely want that teapot, since cats and tea are probably my favorite things in the world. XD It’s fucking adorable.

@Broken_Black_Moon@xanga - @ashleynicole - Two of my cats are obsessed with watching the water go down when the toilet is flushed – because of that I’m not allowed to shut the bathroom door – t’s a good thing I live alone, lol. One night when I was taking a long relaxing bath one of my cats was sitting on the top of the toilet watching and slowly started to climb into the tub with me. He climbed in, sat down calmly for about a minute, then slowly climbed back out. He’s never done it again, guess he wasn’t that impressed with the water. I was prepared for him to step into the water, panic and leap out of the tub, clawing all the way and splashing water everywhere like all the other cats I’ve had in my lifetime who accidentally fell into the tub.

@Melissa___Dawn@xanga - Lol, wow. That’s pretty rare. My cats have fallen in the shower with me and that did NOT end well. Haha.

I love the rings.

these are cool as hell. I want the tea cups and the dress.

@ashleynicole - Oh I have to do the same thing for one of my cats because she has separation anxiety ._. She will sit outside the bathroom and scratch and meow at the door like she’s dying. She has to come in when I’m showering too, lol.

@Broken_Black_Moon@xanga - OMG that’s so cute! My cat will rub up against me as well if I’m sitting and peeing. I think I’ve had him sit in the bathroom while I showered, but not often because I know he doesn’t like water too much.

@Melissa___Dawn@xanga - My cat is more obsessed with DRINKING the toilet water. Not long ago I walked into the bathroom, turned the light on, and saw him straddling the rim on all four paws, and he just looked at me until I left (at which time I assume he started drinking). I am guessing he was maybe embarrassed or something to see me catch him in the act LOL. I wish my cat was cool with water! He’s an outside cat.. definitely needs a bath :/
