Although not as popular as dogs on transferware, cats are found on many patterns. I love dogs and cats, actually any animal (perhaps not most insects or arachnids). I have noticed that most of my favorite cat patterns are found on items made for children, but not all. Below are some of my favorite patterns plus a few of my favorite cats. All of the china is 19th century. The cats are more recent.
 |
| Child's plate, The Mischievous Cat, 5.5 inches/The cat has killed a pet bird. Today we might call the pattern Bad Cat! This may be another inappropriate pattern for children. |
 |
| Child's mug/Do you think the girl will be able to teach the cat a lesson? |
 |
| Child's mug, Cat After Bird, 3.75 inches/Two handles would make the mug easier for a young child to hold |
 |
| Joey waits for a bird to come to the birdbath |
 |
| Bowl, 4 inches high by 9.5 inches in diameter, ca. 1825/The child cuddles the cat and looks at a dog |
 |
| Child's mug, 3 inches high/the cat is not amused by the dog! |
 |
| Child's alphabet plate, Cat And Kittens, 7 inches, Thomas & Benjamin Godwin (1809-1834) |
 |
| Cats can be very decorative! Here is my 25 pound Ragdoll |
