Oh my….these are just adorable. That belly smacking one really cute!
July 20th, 2011 at 5:55 pm
I love them all but would have to pick Belly Smackin Good Pendant.
July 20th, 2011 at 6:15 pm
It’s so hard to choose! I’ll definitely want a necklace!
July 20th, 2011 at 6:22 pm
They are so fun. My favorite is the ‘belly smacking’. thank you.
July 20th, 2011 at 6:38 pm
I would choose the belly smackin kitties.
July 20th, 2011 at 6:50 pm
Adorable!!! my favorite is the gobbling glutton magnet
July 20th, 2011 at 6:54 pm
I actually purchased “belly smacking good”, “keep it light”, and “cat line dance” and have them framed in my living room. Crazy cat lady, represent!
July 20th, 2011 at 7:02 pm
I really like the “belly-smacking” cat necklace. If I won I would
give it to my sister in St. Louis for her birthday in Septemer.
She loves her cat “coco” more than my brother inlaw.
July 20th, 2011 at 7:13 pm
I really like the Star Gazers. Also, if Ice Cream Social were a magnet, that would be fun, too.
July 20th, 2011 at 7:14 pm
I love the ice cream cat!!!
July 20th, 2011 at 7:22 pm
I like the one with the cat that’s drinking a bloody mary…
July 20th, 2011 at 7:29 pm
Belly Smacking Good Necklace LOVE IT!! MUST HAVE! Splash says pick us pawleese!! >^..^<
July 20th, 2011 at 7:39 pm
Very cute
July 20th, 2011 at 7:44 pm
It’s got to be Belly Smackin’ Good – those kitties look like Miss Nina and Chloe Cat! Prefer the necklace, but the magnet is nice, too….
July 20th, 2011 at 7:56 pm
great illustrations and super cute too, I really like the 2 cats dancing one!
July 20th, 2011 at 8:00 pm
I would love to have the belly smacking necklace. Its SO cute!!!
July 20th, 2011 at 8:15 pm
They’re all super cute! I’m partial to the dancing cat and the belly smacking good.
July 20th, 2011 at 8:31 pm
ha ha love them too cute
July 20th, 2011 at 8:35 pm
Belly Smackin’ good pendant is pretty awesome. Probably my favorite. But dancing cats and bunny toter are both close seconds.
July 20th, 2011 at 8:38 pm
Oh my gosh! We are supposed to choose just one favorite? They are all so cute! But since I have two little cuties of my own, I would have to say that the belly smacking good pendant would be my (and my kitties’) favorite!
July 20th, 2011 at 8:45 pm
These will make a great gift!
July 20th, 2011 at 8:47 pm
They’re all so cute it’s hard to decide, but I think the Stargazers would be purrfect! My boys are always laying about with their legs like that.
July 20th, 2011 at 8:50 pm
The belly smacking dancing cat pendant would be my choice, though everything is fabulous!
July 20th, 2011 at 8:57 pm
These would make nice gifts.
July 20th, 2011 at 9:14 pm
I LOVE the Belly Smacking Good necklace!
July 20th, 2011 at 9:30 pm
The ice cream socializer is hilarious!!!
July 20th, 2011 at 9:41 pm
I adore! the belly-smacking pendant:).
July 20th, 2011 at 9:44 pm
oh my gosh, this may be one of the best etsy shops I’ve ever seen, and I’m addicted to etsy. I love the belly smackin’ good necklace, but I think as a movie lover I adore the movie cats always sit in the front row print even more. I think I’ll save this shop for future purchases.
July 20th, 2011 at 9:46 pm
All adorable. Love the pair of Star Gazers pins, so cute kitties outside in their sleeping bags! Thanks.
July 20th, 2011 at 9:47 pm
I had so much fun browsing all of them! After much difficulty in trying to choose one, I narrowed it down to my 3 faves. I checked out all of Jamies products. I love “Wedding Cats” I feel that it would make a great necklace to remember our big day. I also love “Emotionally Unavailable” that would make a great and fun necklace too..even a T-Shirt and my last choice is “Missing You” a pendant as well. I have some others too..I wish that I can mention all my choices!
July 20th, 2011 at 9:47 pm
Luv the belly smackin good necklace!
July 20th, 2011 at 9:53 pm
I love the dancing cats – the magnet would be great!
July 20th, 2011 at 9:53 pm
Their Cat Dance Line artwork caught my eye to get at the shop!
July 20th, 2011 at 10:34 pm
Her “Belly Smackin’ Good” image has always been a favorite for me. It just makes me giggle, but I also like that “Soda Cat” ’cause I’m sure the kitty is not supposed to be doing what he’s doing.
“Cat Nap” looks like it would translate well to this small size and the art would appeal to a more sedate audience.
“Nutella” has seen a lot of Etsy action recently, so it’s a good candidate for the glass items.
I am currently obsessed with Jamie’s “Obsessive Ineffective Hygiene” image, partially because of the hilarious story that goes with it. I’ve used this image in a treasury. It just makes me laugh. Those crazed eyes might look pretty nice under the glass!
“Kitteh Heaven” would work well in the glass size and shape and should have commercial appeal as a magnet or pendant.
July 20th, 2011 at 10:49 pm
The dancing cat pendant is so cute!!
July 20th, 2011 at 10:55 pm
Generally I’d prefer something in a pendant, magnets around here tend to end up being knocked off the fridge. *turns and looks at Ducky*
‘Belly Smackin Good’ Necklace is one of my favs. It looks like My cats Ducky and Patches. Plus I love the expression on the cats faces.
I’d love to see ‘Bop’ in a pendant. That image puts a smile on my face having seen it live with my own cats many times in the past.
I think ‘Miss You’ would make a nice magnet/pin/pendant as well, as long as the glass over it was square (instead of round which would cut off parts of the window and diminish it’s effect). Also love ‘Look into my eyes’ as a pendant/magnet/pin.

July 21st, 2011 at 4:03 am
I love the artists! How original and different. I would be so proud to wear such originality and my cats I bet would love seeing me wearing one of Jamie’s original cat pendants.
July 21st, 2011 at 4:13 am
Too hard to choose!
July 21st, 2011 at 4:59 am
I love the “Espresso Lover” to be made up into a pendant – really cute drawings – The Dancing Cat pendant would be lovely! x
July 21st, 2011 at 5:10 am
Definitely Belly Smackin Good Necklace!
July 21st, 2011 at 5:13 am
If I had to choose, I think Soda Cat is my favorite. It’s so cute and makes me smile!
July 21st, 2011 at 5:16 am
I love the belly smacking cats and the Parisian cat on a bicyclete!
July 21st, 2011 at 5:17 am

July 21st, 2011 at 5:24 am
I love belly smacking good but I think I’d have to go for gobbling glutton…. but I’m tremendously greedy when I look at your work! I want them all!
