If by some strange happenstance you have never before seen a Kliban cat drawing, you will instantly recognize that each and every one of them captures the essence of…. cat. A well-established illustrator and cartoonist (Playboy, The New Yorker, Never Eat Anything Bigger Than Your Head, et al) B. Kliban used to devote off-moments in his studio to drawing his felines Nitty, Norton, Burton Rustle and Noko Marie the Snake. An editor friend saw this work and convinced Kliban to let her take it publishers, and in 1975 Workman published CAT, a huge bestseller which inspired an outbreak of cat love that has not abated to this day. That groundbreaking book was followed by more books, and more drawings, which manifested on calendars, cards, mugs, ceramics, clothing – almost 9,000 unique items to date. And the book that started it all is still in print. Cat people of the world, rejoice -- and savor the twice-a-week pleasure of KLIBAN’S CATS.

It’s Santa Claws – and when he’s at the beach, it’s Sandy Claws.

The poor reintabby has one pupil bigger than the other. Either this poor cat is having a stroke, or maybe it’s on acid. I suspect the latter. :-)

“I don’t want to pull the sleigh. I just want to ride on one.”

Before Max, the Grinch had Maxine. Unfortunately, Maxine couldn’t pull the sleigh up the hill…
