I found these three 11×14 prints yesterday at a local thrift shop. I have no idea who the artist is as I had to pack them right away and get ready for my move. I will reframe these at some point, so hopefully I will see an artist name on these prints….

Poor little drowned kitties, especially #1.
Almost as popular as Keane. A lot of prints like these were sold at Woolworths and other dime stores.

As usual, thank you for your excellent sleuthing skills!

i can barely look at these…i’ve seen those heartbreaking looks before from some very,very unfortunate kitties…it’s usually the look they give you right before they ruin your life and cost you a million bucks while they shred your couch and throw up behind the piano….

That made me laugh. Though true and sad.
windupkitty
ha, yep!
sad kitty: won’t you go to the all night grocery at 2 am to get me some chicken baby food since i’m too sick to eat and refusing food?
me (through tears of worry): of course i will poor kitty!
sad kitty: great! while you are gone i will take a dump on the needlepoint throw pillow your great grandmother stitched, like, WHILE she was dying…
me: sounds good! don’t forget to put some deep scratches into my paul mccobb desk!
sad kitty: don’t worry! i will also be stealing your social security number, making international phone calls and listing your address under the personals on craigslist…
me: great! see you soon! save some diarrhea for me!

Why thank you Miss Cheetah!
Seriously, I never gave Keane or anything like them, the time of day until I met everyone here at awmok. I’ve come to appreciate them…..

I have these same prints as puzzles. My parents had a lot of them from working puzzles together I guess when they were dating? As a kid I used to ask mom to bring out the “sad eye cat” puzzles to put together. I just loved them but looking at them now I’d probably be crying before I ever finished putting them together.
