I collect teeny tiny vintage cat figurines. They make me happy. They're super cute and don't take up a lot of room. Most of them are on a metal scrolled etagere type stand in the MAB workshop, aka my living room. This little white crouched fellow is pre-WWI German, and the arched back guy was my mom's when she was little.
Most of these are Japanese. The pink kitten is also from my mom's childhood collection. I also have a thing for Fifties chrome serving trays and old old books. The happy portrait of my Gus cat was done by my friend moonstr. Take a look at moonstr's Etsy shop!
Here are some more little guys. The itsy bitsy green kitty up front is vintage English Wade. I use the gold scroll bookends and the little white vase as props in my shop photos. The bookends came from a sale at Lazarus when I worked there years ago, and they were selling off stuff they used in store displays. The Franklin portrait was also done by the wonderful moonstr.
Kittens in a shoe! The clear glass bank was my mom's, too, and she painted the bow with pink nail polish. 
And here's a pair of winking green shakers and a teal cat planter. The yellow Egyptian looking cat is a mysterious guy. No marks on him, but I love him.
Gus has a fluffy butt.
And a magnificent orange racoon tail.
Hello Kitty high end cosmetics for adults by MAC --
Littlest Pet Shop creatures -- Their oversized heads and large eyes haunt me. 
Darren Criss on Glee -- I'm glad Kurt finally got a love interest, but Darren Criss may be part of the Littlest Pet Shop brigade. 
Elmo -- His voice makes my Gus cat leap at the television in a homicidal fit. I can relate. 
The Olsen twins -- Still too precious, even if they dress like they're 85 year old spinsters. 
The bunny from the Hop movie -- So, he's a drum-playing, pervy, Easter bunny to be? Ew. 
Justin Bieber -- The picture does the talking for me. 
Gummy vitamins for adults -- If you're old enough to buy your own vitamins, you're old enough to swallow a proper pill. 
And, last but not least, Rachel Ray -- 
We may also need to call Hoarders soon for the disco glitter ball overflow.
It's cold in Ohio! So we have to snuggle on a blankie in the chair. Sometimes, a kitten gets so desperate that he hides his head under his brother's huge fluffy body.
It gets hard to breathe in all that fluff though. Fluff can suffocate you.
Plus, Gus's ears are dirty, apparently.
Team Bacon! had a Valentine card exchange, and I received the most beautiful handmade stuff. This embroidered patch and golden ACEO came from the lovely and talented moonstr.
I used sharp scissors AND a glue stick on mine, so my apologies to my valentine recipients. To say I'm not much of a card maker would be a huge understatement. 
This was such a great team activity, and it was wonderful getting little envelopes full of handmade loving in the mail.
We're in the midst of The Monster Storm! Yes, we are. We already have at least half an inch of ice hanging everywhere. People are sliding and crashing all over the place out there.
My pictures aren't very good, because I didn't venture any further than my front stoop. Ice makes me wimpy. Dayton, Ohio was pretty much shut down today.
The good news is. . . um, yeah. There's no good news. The second wave started up about five tonight. The news people are talking about "cataclysmic events." I'm very lucky and thankful, because I work from home. The neighbor spent half an hour chipping away at her car this morning. Nasty stuff.
It's good to be a cat. He doesn't even know what ice is. Not really. You put ice in his water to make it extra watery.
Then you turn upside down like a fluff loaf so your speckled-y lips stick out.
Do you see a kitty in this picture?
