Guest Picks: Everything Wants to Be a Cat
Does your love of cats seep into your walls and couch and shelves? I'm at risk of becoming a crazy cat lady, evidenced not by home decor, as I have little (if any?) cat-themed items on display, but by my love of cats. My family and I own three, and were I not at my limits of frustration with cat fur and had we not owned a cat with anxiety issues, we'd probably have a few more.
If you share my love of feline friends and wish to display this love for all (who enter your home) to see, here is a collection of kitty decor. Some of these may also double as gifts for your cat-loving pals. And I hope those who share this stigma of "the crazy cat lady" appreciate that I made extra effort to avoid groan-worthy knickknacks and the tacky and the garish. Mostly. — Meaghan from The Decorated Cookie
