Today's the 2nd installment of Halloween Fridays and today's theme is the black cat! Usually a sign of bad luck and misfortune if they cross your path, if you believe in that sort of wives tale-y sort of thing. I prefer not to have any cat cross my path because I just don't like them. I know, I know, I'm a chick and apparently my gender is supposed to simply adore cats, but oddly, I do not. Cats suck, in my book. But I do like the image of cats, for what it's worth!
In conclusion, black cats in cartoons= awesome. Real life ones= not at all awesome. That's the point I took too long to get to.
So today's picks are all over the map- some are actual 50's vintage, some are homemade from charming Etsy crafty types, but I think all are cool for what they are, and I hope you dig 'em too. Enjoy!
An Original Print Called "Otto, Ramses and Wolfgang". Aww c'mon, how cute is this?
Giant Sparkly Cat Heart Pendant. I love that this is a honking big size at 2" wide. I like my jewelry to be over the top and ridiculous. Plus, the cat reminds me of the cat in Coraline.
See? Coraline cat!
Black Cat Psychobilly Pencil Skirt from Zombie Kitten Originals. That's hot. (Eew. Kill me for sounding like Paris Hilton, please.)
Vintage 50's Cat Novelty Print Dress from Posh Pig Vintage. OK, so technically these aren't black cats, but a fun novelty print of pastel cats holding parasols. You'd be hard-pressed to find actual older vintage (meaning pre 70's) with menacing black cats on them. So you'll take it and like it!
Vintage 50's Rhinestone Cateye Sunglasses. Are these not the cattiest of cat eye glasses you've ever seen?! They're wicked cool and so...well, catty!
Vintage 50's MAX FACTOR Hypnotique Sophisti-Cat Perfume. I can't stand that sort of sugary pun on words (like Sophisti-cat)- even though I've on occasion thrown out some pretty corny ones myself- but I'll give ol' Max a pass, because, I mean, rhinestone eyes and pearl necklace makes up for the cutespeak! I wonder what it smells like? Cat? (Wait, eeeew...)

Fun finds! Love that pencil skirt. Personally, I too thought that I didn't like cats. I've always been a self-proclaimed dog person. But, then my pussy cat adopted me. I'm just saying, ya never know. ;)
ReplyDeletePoor cats. I can't believe you don't like them. lol I'm actually a cat person. I've never cared for dogs that much. These are really cool. I always thought it would be cool to have a black cat.
ReplyDeleteAs a cat person, I love this post and yes Otto, Ramses and Wolfgang are definitely the cutest!!
ReplyDeleteThat's true Athena, you never know! But considering we just got a dog, I think it's safe to say cats are not in the forecast anytime soon! ;)
ReplyDeleteKeith, you? A cat person? You're "supposed" to be all about dogs, being a guy and all!
ReplyDeleteHa!! I love the Otto mummy picture and those Max Factor things I love them!! meeooowwwww
ReplyDeleteHA! That kitty looks just like the cat in Coraline. Loved that movie, but I love all things Neil Gaiman soooo.
ReplyDeleteThe book gave me nightmares....
Great stuff, and I don't like cats either. Those really are fantastic glasses!
