Etsom·ni·a (/etˈsämnēə/), noun, 1. a sleep disorder caused by obsessive Etsy browsing. 2. The surprising arrival of weird handmade merchandise ordered when one is only half conscious. (True story.) 3. An excuse for me to be an obnoxious, snarky New Yorker once in a while.
I know, I know. It’s been months since I posted a new edition of Etsomnia™. What can I say? It’s mostly real estate that’s keeping me up these days. That said, odd cat-related art has been creeping into my social media ads, and I thought it was time for a longer look.
I love cats. I love everything about cats. Honestly, were it not for the stigma and the mess (and the allergens)(and Beloved), I’d have a whole lot of them. Alas, I must content myself with just The One, so instead I’ve been looking for cat art. Or maybe the internet decided I should be looking for cat art and now it just finds me. Not sure.
I tried to limit the items below to things that were strictly art, but there were a few things I just couldn’t resist. (Like the cat bikini above.)
I want to ask who can possibly resist cat art but you did include those very weird paintings of cats with cryptid looking owners that I find very easy to resist, and maybe even repellant in the case of the Leonardo DiCaprio one. How very Dr Moreau. I do, however, absolutely love the cats in the Mondrian. I think my youngest son would be smitten by that one.

Oh you won me with this post! My Youtube feed is full of cat videos so no way I could resist this gorgeous cat art. 😀

I even like the less-than-gorgeous stuff. Cats are the best!

Yes, me too. I try not to watch too many of the rescue ones coz they break my heart, but each little life saved is a triumph.
