Here it is everyone, our Crassiversary! I cannot let it pass without paying homage to our beloved CCLC ~ Crazy Cat Lady Contingent. I am grateful for all of your fun and contributions and though I sometimes mock, you know I lurve you CCLC. I am also grateful that I have you all corralled here at Crasstalk where I can keep an eye on you. Have you ever tried herding cats? Well, Crazy Cat Ladies are equally wily.
My gift to all of the CCL’s and the people who love them; A Definitive Shopping & Gift Guide for the discerning (but still way crazy) cat lady. Because, really, how many cat tapestry tote bags do you need?

Omega Cats was adapted from a 1930s textile by Swedish designer, Victor Lindstrand. These silhouetted shapes of cats create a striking and witty wallpaper design for cat lovers everywhere. Use it to create a stunning statement wall. A complementary printed fabric design of the same name is also available. And it comes in hot pink, FTW.
You probably cannot afford this next lamp (no offense!) but make sure to follow the link and click on each iteration of this lamp! Conceived and designed by Paris-based Kuntzel & Degas- high concept, amazing technical skill meets cats. Read their bio too!
Okay, this entirely too chic wallpaper by Jordi LaBanda also has dogs in it. Hopefully your cat won’t be a dick about it.
Each silhouette is uniquely crafted from wallpaper and fabric remnants. But you have all already made these, haven’t you? Well, since you are feeling crafty, download this free template from Amy Butler and make these adorable cat pillows!
If you have the patience and talent to be knittin’ for kittens, try your hand at this Cat & Mouse Blanket. It’s very Pink Lady.
There are hundreds of cat-themed wall decals, and I feel I have now sifted through them all. I cannot help but laugh at these by studio33-dodo. They really do seem to capture a life lived alond side cat. Bonus, they are Russian! So, this will still be a mystery!
If mid-mod is more your flow, these retro-remniscient figures by Jonathan Adler are the cat’s pajamas.
And if you are looking for a more authentic mid-century collectable, keep your eyes peeled for these creeptastic Cat Decanters by Wayne Husted for Blenko. If you find a set, ship directly to me, Dear Lala. And have some fun on this amazing archive site.
If you have more than one cat (I know you are holding) then, they need this. It’s pretty good looking but it seems like a lot of fun.
And finally, the quintisential CCLC shopper. For only $99.99 you can get a custom, personalized woven tote bag set with your very own Fluffy’s image. Wouldn’t it be so much easier (and cheaper) to just get a sharpie and write “I’m Insane” on your forehead though?
I luh ya, ya Crazy Cat Ladies Of The Crass. Happy Anniversary! xoxoxo
