While it’s no surprise to us (because we think horses are pretty awesome) cats really seem to have a thing for the large hoofed creatures.
While it seems unlikely, it makes sense that the two would get along. The horse has no problem allowing kitty to be alpha and cats tend to be of the fearless sort.

The earliest pointed cats were Siamese, although the coloring has since spread, many people erroneously assume a pointed cat is, in fact, Siamese. Today there are a variety of breeds that display this characteristic.
All of the colors & patterns are based on a few basic solid colors, from there a variety of patterns & dilutions can be displayed. Today we are looking at pointed animals which don’t just come in solid colors, tabbies can be pointed too.
Pointed animals are bright cream with colored (or patterned) face, feet & tail. We stuck to the basic solid colors here.
A few months back we featured a selection of kitchen accessories & appliances with a cat theme & some seriously cute Hello Kitty kitchen items and believe it or not, we’ve got even more to share with you today.
We’re not so sure about our furry cat hanging out on kitchen counters (have you seen how they shed?) but we like the idea of kitty accents. Every idea below was hand selected by us for their usefulness & unique character. For each item we’ve added a link to where they can be found on Amazon and a closer look where available.

Over the past few months we’ve been featuring as much unique cat art as we can and this week is no different. We’ve already posted part 1 & part 2 of our stamp collection and this week it’s part 3.
It’s fun to see how different (or similar) the stamps are between different countries. Needless to say Germany & Azerbaijan probably take the lead for the most kitty stamps (although Moldova is up there too). We expected to find lions & tigers & other big cats on more stamps, but to our surprise domestic cat seems to be a popular subject.

Although not many people have seen one in the flesh, Siamese cats are among the most distinguishable breeds on the planet. Their sleek profile simply looks fit for a king.
This breed comes from the kingdom Siam (which is now called Thailand) where they are thought to descend from sacred temple cats. They are a legendary symbol of good luck & thought to ward off evil spirits which meant their aristocratic profile only graced temples and the homes of the royalty.
Today there are two types of the breed, one the traditional Siamese with an apple shaped head and a robust build and the modern animal with a triangular head and a lithe, slender body.
