About Kathy Kelly, the Artist - A True Cat Lover

​

Hello!

​

After over 30 years, I did my last art festival on a wonderful late Fall weekend in Louisville, Kentucky last year. I have loved the festivals and met so many interesting cat lovers from all over the Midwest. You made the shows fun and were so loyal -- as is my web family. Thank you for years of support!

Now that art festivals have ended, it's time to focus on my website. I have been often asked, “Where do your design ideas come from?” Well of course from my own little furry darlings I’ve had since the age of 10, but also from your fun photos and stories of your kitty cats! Please keep the photographs and stories coming.

 

One of my own stories is about my little tabby, Mattie: I would often get lost in my work and forget the time. Mattie had a clock in her brain, I think, and she would at regular intervals come to my studio and nudge and purr as if to say, “Break time! She was a wonderful cat and I
had her for 15 years. I lost her last December.

 

I’m without a cat right now but and enjoying little furballs at cat cafes. The right Kitty will cross my path so I’m waiting. Some of my design plans this coming year focus on expanding my current products. I plan on having things ready in the Fall of 2025 -- mugs, stickers and tees!

If you could please let me know about any Facebook groups that I can send an invite to my website to help me introduce new cat lovers to Kats by Kelly, I would be most appreciative. I am thinking book clubs, craft groups, library groups just to name a few.

Here’s purring at you!

Thank you –

Kathy Kelly, Top Cat
