International Cat Day (8th August)

:paw_prints: Its time for our crafty feline companions to shine!

International Cat Day is coming up on 8th August , and we’d love to shine a spotlight on the whiskered wonders who keep you company while you create!

Whether your cat is a curious studio supervisor, a nap-time enforcer, a thread-chasing troublemaker, or just there to offer quiet encouragement (and the occasional dramatic interruption) - we want to see them!

:camera_with_flash: Drop a photo of your creative cat below and tell us all about him/her/them!

We’ll be sharing a selection on Folksy’s socials on the 8th to celebrate the day!

Let the purring, posing, and playful chaos commence! :black_cat:

A lovely feature :slight_smile: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

My girl is very creative, she can literally make a little bed for herself from almost anything!

Her wee sister is the boss though and a total poser lol :laughing:

Bella is an old girl now - and she’s been on my PhotoFairytales journey since the very beginning! She’s usually asleep but occasionally she wakes up and claws her way up my back ( :grimacing:) until she can climb over my shoulder to make a leap for my desk. Yes, it’s as painful as it sounds!

Her hobbies include yowling for food, eating, thinking about eating, sleeping after eating and eating (have I said that already?). She dislikes bubble wrap, the sound of the sellotape, when I take her off the desk, and not eating. She loves the dog but she’d never tell him that to his face.

So cute! What are their names if you don’t mind me asking :cat:

Such a lovely idea.
Bella turns 12 in August and since her sister passed away last year she’s become even more of a diva.
Obviously, I’d wanted to take a photo of her and not the scarves!

Hi. Here’s my ‘creative’ cat - Nala, who keeps me company while I’m sewing, and also features in one of my greetings cards!

This is my Lilah (Lilah Lou Lou for short). I was actually trying to photo a bundle of my cat goodies (all inspired by her), when she jumped up and had to know what I was doing!! If I didnt crop the photos, her nosy nose would be in all my listings! Shes the best work distraction. She was a rescued feral kitten, not that you could tell from the amount of loving she gives and wants. Her sister Gracie (Gracie Baby):

is also a rescue, and walking purr machine. Gracie isnt as nosy as Lilah, but she does have a complete obsession with knocking water over, and watching it spread everywhere. Maybe if I place some paint down, she’ll get into watercolour?

Im very appreciative to my girls for making sure I take breaks (to feed them), and I know I would be 100% more stressed without them :pink_heart:
