What is it about cats that we find so fascinating? So much so that we honour them in poetry and art and we’ve even taken to wearing their likenesses? I’ve been scouring the net and have come up with an array of feline-inspired goodies.

First up is one of my favourite Friday afternoon websites – Naughty Secretary Club, with their gorgeous Meow Meow Necklace and Prrrrrr Earrings. This online store is a treasure trove of revamped vintage and nouveau treasures. Visit www.naughtysecretaryclub.com to stock up on ‘kitty bling’.

And if you’re looking for some kitty arm candy, I found this cute Kitty Cat Lime Green Pouch at www.accessoriesonline.co.uk. Accessories Online specialises in unusual accessories and jewellery from respected designers. Ironically the designers of the pouch are called Dogeared.

Now meet Albert. This coy little feller comes from the hand of David. David has been drawing all his life, inspired by the likes of Ralph Bakshi, Robert Crumb, Cosgrove Hall and a host of other animators, cartoonists and artists. His work has been used by Manchester’s famous Hacienda night club, the Royal Exchange, various international record labels and loads of books and magazines. David can be contacted through Indie Quarter at info@indiequarter.com.

Now, what about something to adorn your coat or bag? This Cool for Cats Kilt Pin from Aurora Bloom is chock full of vintage and modern charms and beads. Visit www.aurorabloom.com.

And now for something a little different. Each of these cuddly Fat Kitties has been hand embroidered/embellished by Little Dear. They are one of kind and can be purchased from http://dreamfollow.com, where you’ll find lots of lovely other items created by designer Aimee Ray.

In contrast, you’ll love this Grrrrr Bracelet from Junkie, made up of lots of big cat charms. For quirky, vintage, novelty jewellery and accessories visit www.junkie3.com.

And last but by no means least, how could you resist this Hello Kitty Mascot Charm Bracelet by Tarina Tarantino? Kitty dresses up in a cutle little bunny outfit and is surrounded by girly beads. For a whole range of kitty-inspired, charm-encrusted trinkets, visit www.tarinatarantino.com.
