Note Cards and Prints Inspired by Stinky

 

Couldn't resist my eyes, huh? I have that effect on people. My mom, Teri, is a graphic designer and an artist. She was so inspired by me after adopting me from that rescue place, she designed a series of note cards and art prints! The cards are blank and have images of cats on the front with plenty of room to write thought provoking notes to your friends. The giclee prints are large, matted images signed and numbered by the artist. They are beautiful, if I do say so myself! Plus, when you buy a card or a print, Teri donates money to help other animals get rescued. How cool is that?

How Stinky Got His Name

 

When I was first adopted by my new parents I was really nervous. They put me in a carrier and drove me and my new step-sister, Sweet Pea, to our new home. It was a very long drive and I had a little 'accident' that caused all the windows and the moon roof to open.

When we arrived home, for some reason, I was put in the sink and hosed down. I didn't mind too much though, 'cause I like water.

Pretty soon, Mom & Dad started calling me Stinky.

At first, I was a very shy and spent all my time hiding in cupboards. I was very quiet and didn't talk much.

My confidence finally returned, and now I have a great time in my new home. I climb on and mark all the furniture with my lips, I knock over lots of stuff, I 'boing' all the door-stoppers, I bang all the cupboard doors, I get inside the cupboards and sit on the dishes and I lick all the window blinds (they taste funny and make a cool noise when you push them against the windows.)

I also like to be involved in everything. If anything is happening, I am there! I stay underfoot all the time so I don't miss anything. I spend lots of time jumping on my mom's lap while she's working on her computer, too.

I'm also a foodie. I love food. I eat mine and then I eat my step-sister's. Then I beg for more. I howl for more food all the time, but mom only feeds me a few times a day. The vet told her to make sure she didn't feed me any more food or I would get fat.
Errrrr, vets! What do they know.

I'm not sure why I'm called Stinky but I like it. Every time my mom says my name, even if she yells it LOUD, I hear my name and know that she loves me.
I'm one happy cat!

Now, if I could find someway to convince that vet that I need to eat more food...

Beautiful Cat Art 

Original art cards and prints

My mom is taking photos all the time. She picks the best ones (I look great in all of them!), does something magic to them and then makes them into note cards and matted prints.

The matted prints are really great! They are big (11" x 14") and you can put them on your wall. I'd look great on your wall, so would my friends.

The note cards are 5" x 7" and are blank inside so you can write profound and inspiring words to the favorite people in your life. Each one is in a cello sleeve to keep it perfect while you are composing your thoughts to write for posterity.

Yes, posterity! Who would ever throw one of these beautiful cards away!

Some archaeologist in the future will find one of these and I will be memorialized like the great cats of Egypt! They worshiped cats, you know! We were respected and revered because we were in close contact with the deities and gods. Bastet and Sekhmet are the most famous cat goddesses in the world.

We need to bring back a little of that respect for cats, and dogs and all animals today. You can help by purchasing a card or print and knowing that you will be helping animals.

'Sweet Pea'

 

My little sister

My sister, Sweet Pea, is just the opposite of me.

She is dainty, well-behaved, and makes a trilling noise instead of making macho yowls like I do. She has lots of fur and spends a long time every day primping. Even mom and dad say she's a princess. She even walks like a princess, head high, back straight, plumy tail straight up in the air.

We first met at the rescue shelter and we never got too close. Now that we've lived together for over a year, we've become pretty good friends.

We chase each other and play together whenever she is in the mood. She's really moody. Sometimes I am relaxing, minding my own business and she will come over and start licking my fur, you know, grooming me. So, I just lie there and enjoy the grooming, when all of a sudden, she bites me! Geez, then I have to wake up and defend myself. I chase her, she chases me, then she falls down and looks at me all innocent like. I don't know for sure if she's a purebred, but she sure acts like one.

Don't get me wrong, I really like her and she's a beauty. But, I don't think I'll ever understand females.

About Stinky

My name is Stinky Rose (yeah, I know), anyway, I was adopted by my new mom from a rescue shelter for purebred cats (I'm not really a purebred but they took me anyway 'cause I must have looked pitiful.)

My first mom went to the big cat lovers place in heaven so I was scared and lonely when I found myself left behind at a shelter.

I'm now healthy and happy and becoming a star! I'm on cards and prints along with some of my other friends and family. You can see all the cards and prints at RoseGraphics
