10 Super Creative Cat Calendars For 2011

Posted by Lady Bee on December 07, 2010

Pet calendars have become so clever and creative that this year I've decided to separate the cat calendars from the dog ones. No one seems to be very creative with the remaining species
of pets, but that's my complaint every year. So, off we go into kitty land and the artists that express them so well in the 2011 Cat Wall Calendars.

1. United Bamboo Ready-To-Wear 2011 Cat Wall Calendar

The
Japanese clothing designer has unleashed its second limited edition
calendar of fashionable cats. This is a stunning calendar which I paid
$30 for last year, but United Bamboo
has beefed up the design, paper, and embossed foiling on the calendar,
and now they're charging $50! Out of my league, but still so stunning!

2. Cat Paintings By Carol Wilson 2011 Cat Wall Calendar

Carol
Wilson is one of the best artists at capturing cat 'looks' and postures
I've ever seen. If you missed her Cat Paintings Wall Calendar in 2009,
she has reworked it for 2011. From Cafe Press.

3. Tournée Chat Noir Wall Calendar 2011

The 'black cat' wall calendar contains 12 images of poster art created by Theophile-Alexandre Steinlen, the French iconic poster artist. The black cat cabaret "Le
Chat Noir" opened in 1881 by the artist Rodolphe Salis and became a
popular destination for world-renowned artists. These posters are not only entertaining, they are copies of contributions to the catalogues of art history. Tournée Chat Noir

7. Cat Physics 2011 Wall Calendar

Oh my. The quips on this calendar will keep you laughing and nodding yourself silly. There is nothing as funny as a truism when it comes to cats. Here's a cat physics solution called the Law of Cat Disinterest: A cat's interest level will vary in inverse proportion to the amount of effort a human expends in trying to interest him. Designs By Jaguar carries the Cat Physics2011 Calendar in regular and oversized.

10. Bohemian Cats 2011 Wall Calendar

Last but definitely not least... (The calendars are listed more or less random order.) is the Bohemian 2011 Cat Calendar, based on the delightful children's book Bohemian Cats by Karen Mahony and Alex Ukolov. It is a fantasy calendar of cats playing characters in medieval settings. The artwork is precious; you'll never forget the images.
