I did a post back in November 2012 about things you could actually buy that feature cat-butts. A lot of the things I featured are still for sale. Original post is here: Catbutts, catbutts, everywhere!
So why am I talking about Catbutts again? Not just because I see them hourly, but because if you remember that post, or have a look now, I was rather sad that my mom’s beloved sweatshirt wasn’t being made anymore. Not that I could find, anyway.
Well! I was wrong, and somehow my old post attracted the attention of the artist. I’ll apologise now, for not doing this sooner as she left two comments on that original post saying, “I’m still here, I made this!” but my brain is like a watermelon – squishy and pinkish, and full of seeds.
Um. I’m not very good at analogies.
I’m a bit forgetful, how is that?
Let me finally rectify this. The shirt is still available, in many colours, at Meow.com – and it is as fabulous as ever. Or better – the full colour one is very impressive!
Anna, Head Cat Herder and artist/designer: I’m sorry again for not doing this sooner. At least you know someone out there still has one of your shirts from way back before the Internet even existed.
My mom LOVED hers. Thank you for making her giggle so much.
Buy one for your loved one with a silly sense of humour – you won’t regret it!
You remind me of one of my favourite expressions. When someone has a disapproving face set in mean lines and looks like she smells something bad all the time, I say she has a face like a cat’s arsehole. Only not as nice. Nice sweatshirt, btw!
Ha! There is an old song, and a line of it is about cats in heat: “cats with their butts all wreathed in smiles”. Perhaps that makes me more likely to think nice things about cat anuses 🙂
Cats On The Rooftops!!!
My parents had the record – and several others. That was always one of my favourites!

I did that one! And oh yes, we had the Oscar Brand albums. I’m now putting that on FB and asking my dad does he PLEASE still have them!
Very funny one 🙂
So adorable! 😀
My daughter had that T-shirt. It’s still around here somewhere. Just too hilariously cute – and wow cool the artist found you!
It’s about frikkin’ time I checked out your blog, and I couldn’t resist the reference to “catbutts”. We have those, but also chickenbutts, which are, in general, much fluffier. Promoting an artist is one of the best ways to earn good karma. Will track down Anna and see what she has going.
Yay! Glad to spread the fellow-artist word. You must have come by before, I moderate the first comment and you went right through!
I taught my hubby ‘what what chicken butt’, of all things! Now – are there dozens of chicken-butt novelty gifts?
By the way, is Christmas in Ireland as obnoxious as it is in the US?
It’s the BIGGEST holiday for Ireland.
Only been in the last few years that Ireland and the UK have started the Black Friday thing, which is silly as neither has Thanksgiving! But yeah, holiday ads on the radio before Halloween, even. And holiday movies ALL over the channels during Halloween! Augh! Going shopping on the weekend right now is not fun, either. But nothing like it was going to a mall in Ohio…
