Cats Are My Favorite Blanket for Cat Moms Everywhere

Cats Are My Favorite Blanket opens with the phrase “Best Cat Mom Ever” set in bold black letters, with a cat's face inside the O and whiskers sweeping out on either side. The sayings around it make the joke land, and you will read each one with a smile.

What the design shows

The design is laid out as a grid of twelve colored squares, each holding a different cat saying. Pale mint, cream, blue and blush pink boxes sit side by side, and every one has its own lettering style, from tall serif capitals to looping script. The top row starts with “Cats Are My Favorite People” and “More Cats Less Drama,” while the middle stretch carries “I'm Not Like a Regular Mom, I'm a Cat Mom” and “Any Woman Can Be a Mother But It Takes Someone Special to Be a Cat Mom.” Small black cat silhouettes, paw prints and a fish bone appear in the corners of the squares, and a row of tiny paw prints and fish bones frames the outer edge. Together the squares read like a scrapbook page of cat life, with the heart of the design sitting in the center.

Who it was made for

You will find this throw speaks most clearly to women who share their home with cats and have a sense of humor about it. The saying “I Only Talk to Cat People” will feel familiar to anyone who has spent a weekend fussing over a litter box, and “Sorry I Have Plans With My Cat” sums up many evenings. Cat moms often read the squares aloud to each other, and the lines about hair and drama give them plenty to laugh over. The design also works for anyone who helps care for a neighbor's cat or a shelter pet, since those same jokes apply to them.

As a gift and every day

This blanket makes a thoughtful choice for a birthday, a Mother's Day morning or a cat lover's housewarming. Wrap it up with a bag of treats for her cat, and the gift feels personal in a way a generic throw does not. Once it is unfolded, it becomes a daily companion for movie nights and quiet afternoons on the couch, the spot where a cat is most likely to curl up beside you.
