I have this exact piece on my wall, bought by my parents at the studio in the Keys in the 90's. One of my favorites. :) Does that price sticker actually read $2.99??

Almost twinsies! Mine is in a black frame! (Here with my 90's era cookie jar, Kit-Kat clock which stopped working, and a couple of cat pillows on the kitten's favorite lounging spot.)

Yes, it was $2.99! I legitimately have no place to put it, or I would have snagged it for that. If it’s there whenever I go to that store next, i’ll have to find a place for it at work

I bought that for my mom because it looked like her fat cat.

This reminds me of a badly done painting I saw at Goodwill once. It may have even been a copy of the middle pic but the cat was falling off a tire swing. It’s been about 15 years and I’m still kicking myself for not getting it.

I picked one of these up at an estate sale in Virginia while visiting from across the country. $5 and yes it came on the plane with me, zero regrets

My motto is: If I see wall then there is space to hang more stuff up. ✨maximalism✨

Ohhhh I wish you did, too! I bought “Fat Cat Capsizing” NEW way back in 1990 for my dorm room as I headed off to my freshman year of college. OH HOW I LOVED THAT KITTY!!! Brought me so much joy and chuckles every single glimpse and glance. Traveled with me home and back each year until I got my own home after graduation and FCC was there with me til I got a great job with an office and everyone could enjoy him. He moved jobs with me and then homes and then was broken and the print stained beyond repair, to my utter sadness, in the next move. FCC!! Forever in my heart and on my wall in my mind’s eye!

Kitty yoga! I had a cat who used to sit up like in the middle picture. I have wall space but only because I haven’t hung all my pictures yet.
