Feline Furniture


Félix Vallotton

Most cat lovers will admit to being attached to
their pet's aesthetic presence


as much as to its independent personality and charm.


Why shouldn't your cat's accessories be as elegant as he is ?



I saw this today at Chat et Essai. It was so nice, I couldn't resist passing it along to you.
Finally, a scratching post that will look good in your living room!
From Cat-on.

  3. TG Oui, comme vous j'adore les chats ET Vallotton à qui je revient, il me semble...

    LA Yes - so sorry to send you to a site w/o an English version. Very surprising since the Germans are so good in English. I'm sure an email to them in English would do the trick.

  5. This is wonderful post, I have always loved that Vallotton print. That cat photo is marvelously funny. Our dear cat left us year ago. He is so deeply missed. The furniture is elegant and fun.

  11. I have always had a horrid allergy to cats, but I do admire their elegant sense of self. I would be afraid that "off the rack" housing might not be accepted by some of the worlds greatest critics.

  12. HbD: But I know yours is custom made ! My husband was allergic to cats, but is allergy was 'transformed' with age. We have had a cat for two years now. If I have your attention, may I contact you via email? I have a question for you.

  14. My cats are like children; I got them a lovely scratching pad which has never been touched... the box, however, gets played in every day.

  15. Superbe gravure de Vallonton, trop, trop peu connu !
    Les chats sont nos plus énigmatiques et divins compagnons de notre vie. Et ceux-là sont charmants et un brin espiègle dans cette étagère en S !
    J'ai aussi quelques chats dans mes toiles, ils sont merveilleux...
