Crazy Cat Lady Candy Tins Then And Now

Depictions of cats have graced containers of candy and chocolate since Victorian times and every decade since…  

from a charming European biscuit tin,

a whimsical chocolate box…

to something a little more modern. Yes, these crazy cat lady candies are real. Maybe I should pick some up for the next Cat Writer’s Association conference. But truthfully, I prefer the vintage containers. How about you?

  7. Without a doubt, the vintage ones are our favorites! And chocolate is too. How could anyone go wrong with cats & chocolate, especially if its dark?

  10. we actually own the “Crazy Cat Lady” board game, which I think is illustrated by the same person who did the candies. not very dignified is it? well, neither is the game, but it’s still fun.
    still, nothing bets vintage kitties, with hats. and waistcoats. never get enough of that…

  13. I vote vintage, and shun the modern because I feel discriminated against… I mean really a GREEN cat? Don’t you think Orange(with stripes) would have been more appropriate ????
