Cat Lady Blanket: A Floral Cat Lover Throw

Cat Lady Blanket shows a cream field covered in cats, yarn and wildflowers, and it is made for the person who loves them most. Every corner has a cat doing something ordinary, and that is exactly why it feels like home to you.

What the design shows

Tabbies, a black cat, a gray striped cat and a spotted gray cat are spread across the print in different poses. One stretches long and low, another sits upright with its tail wrapped neatly around its feet, and a third pounces at a loose thread. Red and cream balls of yarn lie among them, with trailing strands that link one cat to the next. Between the cats, watercolor wildflowers, toadstools, ferns and small grass tufts fill the ground, and butterflies and dragonflies drift through the gaps. Yellow ducklings are tucked among the plants, adding a little cheer to the scene. The lines are soft and hand-painted, so the whole field feels calm and slightly wild, like a garden where the cats have taken over.

Who it was made for

You will notice the cats first, especially the striped one stretched along the middle of the print. Cat moms and cat dads, and anyone who has a cat hogging the spot they wanted, will see their own pets in these poses. Cat Lady Blanket fits a reading chair where a cat keeps jumping up beside you, or the back of a sofa where a napping cat has claimed the cushion. It also suits a bedroom where a cat sleeps at the foot of the bed, or a dorm room where a cat is only a photo on the phone.

As a gift and every day

This print makes sense as a birthday present for a friend who talks about her cats constantly. It also works as a housewarming gift for someone moving into a first apartment with a cat. Use it on cold evenings, folded over your legs while your cat settles in beside you, and let the yellow ducklings and butterflies keep you company while the afternoon passes.
