Some friends bought us this in Sicily a few years ago. I had "mislaid" it but found it whilst having a clearout today ;D
I will have to find somewhere to hang it now ;D

Ooh I like that! If you havent got a place for it Mark, I'm sure I could find a place here :evillaugh:
-
I'm sure I will find somewhere for it :shy:
I did a search to see if you can get them anywhere else but just found another (better) image http://travel.webshots.com/photo/1244170646057837835roeRXE
It is only the size of a postcard - it's a glazed tile. When the kitchen is finished, I would like to have it tiled into the splashback (I'm sure OH will protest :tired: )
-
And if you didnt want it Mark I am sure this years auction would be just the place for it ;D
-
Snap Mark and Gill don't even suggest it, I love it!

Last time we were in Italy at Trasimeno, we were walking through the village and there were loads of long-haired beautiful cream coloured cats sitting on window ledges and steps. They all looked really well cared for as well unlike some of the ones we saw wandering around in Venice. One of the houses had a sign like your Mark, fastened to the wall. I looked in the local shops, but couldn't see any.
-
I love it Mark, would look fab on our new cat run when it's done. Wish we could get them over here.

Ci sono, ci sono, there are, there are!! Have seen them and here are a couple of other examples...

Also seen a door mat saying "attenti al gatto" with scrach mark design at Leroy Merlin (French based bricolage superstore), we may buy that one ;D

Yours looks the same brand/artist as mine. All I know is our friends got it in a little shop in Sicily.
-
I love this one from ebay, if they could do this with a pic of one of my mob on it that would be so fab for their new cat house

make them yourselves people!!! bit of creatively styled writing, little cat silhouette image.... perfect!!! on a tile or a bit of wood or.... we could go big on a canvas!!! ok - how much could i sell for then??? ;D
(maybe a star amount lottie??? ;) :evillaugh: )
-
(maybe a star amount lottie??? ;) :evillaugh: )
Lol nice try! Have you still not managed to persuade your mum that Jasper really needs a little friend to cuddle :evillaugh:
-
it'd be a reeeeeeeealy nice sign!!!! :sneaky:
hope i'm gettin points for persistance!!! (and not annoying you :-: )
no such luck yet no. but i cant seem to stop going on about him! will come see them again soon - and probably make myself worse!!
-

My mate got ours whilst on hols about 4 years ago touring the Amalfi Coast.
-
I like ours because they are tasteful. Most of the ones on ebay are tacky plastic things :evillaugh:
-
Under the first ebay link there's a plaque of two identical cats, with the saying Beware of the Cat, no your not seeing double.
This would be perfect for whoever takes on my identical twins, except for the misspelling of "your" which drives me potty. It should be "you're" as in "you are". :evillaugh:
-
That drives me up the wall :Crazy:
Where I used to work, one of my colleagues brought in a print job on disk from a friend to print some huge signs for his shop, saying
BED'S
:Crazy: :Crazy: :Crazy: :Crazy: :Crazy: :Crazy:
-
I'd be one of the "Eats shoots and leaves" brigade who go round putting the apostrophes on posters. :rofl:
-
Or more often, taken them off! :evillaugh:
-
Certainly in the example you've given. (See my little apostrophe!)
When I was a student, I was always confusing its and it's (for it is, not the possessive form, apparently that's the former, like theirs, not their's - oh it's so confusing! :rofl: ).
-
Mark, I bought one of those tiles in Jesolo market in Italy about 5 years ago. Mine's in the front porch with just a few more cat ornaments and 2 door mats with cats on!!! :rofl:
I'll take photo tomorrow - off to bed now.
Mary
-
Here's the photo of mine Mark, hope you find a place for yours soon.
Mary :)

It is exactly the same :evillaugh:
I will find a place for it ;D
-
Probably not, as mine as a slight chip from when I opened the door and a ruddy gust of wind blew it off the nail! :rofl:
I want/expect evidence that you've found a place for it - can't just shove it in a drawer and forget about it! :evillaugh: :rofl:
Mary
-
That's how I found it - clearing a cupboard out so it had been there for 3 years :evillaugh:
-
I'll give you 3 days to hang it up, no more!! :evillaugh: :rofl:
Mary
-
Not exactly hanging but balanced on the paneling in the hallway so people see it & tremble when they come in :evillaugh:
[attachment deleted by admin]
-
I'm impressed - well done you - you see you can do anything if you try (or are bullied into it!!). :evillaugh: :rofl:
Mary
P.S. If it's only balancing , put some blue tak under it or it will be the same as mine - with a chip out of it!
-
Good thinking. I read that ages ago and have all the antique vases blue tacked to the mantelpieces :evillaugh: - I was worried that guests would break them :evillaugh:
-
Would the guests be the cats or you and your drunken friends!! :naughty: :rofl:
Speaking iof drunken friends - just been to my friend's house - she only lives a few doors away from me - we had chinese take away and a few glasses of red wine - she spilt some of hers on her beige carpet!!!!!!!!! She managed to get it out quickly though, so she wasn't that drunk. :evillaugh:

Can recommend cat signs sold on E-bay by teletubbybridesmaid. (Think that's her e-bay name). She also does plaques with images of your cats / dogs etc. I've got one with good likeness of my four and the dog. I bought it over a year ago and have still to find a good place to hang it up!
-
Would the guests be the cats or you and your drunken friends!! :naughty: :rofl:
No - I had a B&B until recently :evillaugh:
and - I don't have drunken friends! - just merry ones :evillaugh:
-
Ah, that kind of guests. Glad to hear you and your mates are merry and not drunk!! :evillaugh: :Luv2: :rofl:
