The Internet is for Kitties

I shop at thrift stores a lot.  Really, a lot.  Clothes, books, decor items, cookware, raw materials for my shop; most of the goods I buy come from second hand shops.  This is partly because I am cheap and refuse to pay full price for new when perfectly serviceable things are available used.  Mostly, however, I shop at thrift stores because they can offer some hidden gems found nowhere else.

Sometimes these gems are beautiful and unique vintage clothing, or really high quality kitchenware for a bargain, and sometimes the value of a find is because it was created for or by crazy cat people:

Go ahead, name as many as you can.  I'll wait :)

This lounging cat portrait was painted on black velvet, and is at least 3 feet tall.  Somebody clearly loved Fluffy very much indeed. Fluffy looks less than impressed with being told to hold the pose. 

The cookie jar just makes me smile.  Something about a looking at a contented sleeping cat can always make me feel a little better.

Unless he's contentedly laying on what I'm trying to work on, that is...
