(click the image to see it larger)So many ways a person could go with this week's Illustration Friday topic: cats. For whatever reason, the phrase "The Cat's Pajamas" jumped into my head and stuck, so here you go - kitties in their PJs. I love kitties, and I love pajamas, so this was a fun one for me.
As to the phrase, according to the website Cat-ch Phrases, "The Cat's Pajamas" means:
"something considered to be outstanding. The term "cat's pajamas" comes from E.B. Katz, an English tailor of the late 1700's and early 1800's, who made the finest silk pajamas for royalty and other wealth patrons."

HI Becky, I like these cat's PJ's!
ReplyDeleteYes, but can a cat look at a Queen (even when it's wearing pyjamas)?
ReplyDeleteSeriously, this a funny concept and these are strong character designs - I think you have the makings of a new childrens TV show right here!
Lovely colour choices and design, with lots of neat little touches (some favourites - the mice and duck slippers and the fish biscuit pattern). A lot of fun!
So cute...kitty that party! This goes on at our house all the time!
ReplyDeleteSuch cozy kitties!
