Spicy Vintage Black Cat Art and Poetry: Part 2
Our Black Cat Awareness Month celebration continues. If you haven’t seen Part 1, check out 1920s black cat art and illustration
The theme for this curated and edited collection is vintage black cat art duos with a few silly matching limericks or kitty quotes because it’s Caturday.
Two black cats on a cliff with a view,
Hatched a plan, mischief they’d pursue.
With tails all a-wag, They’d swipe a flag,
And wave it at birds as they flew!
Well, you know what they say or meow about two’s company and three is a crowd.
In the night, black cats gathered, no doubt,
Two’s company, but three had to sort it out.
A love triangle tangled and sly,
Whiskers crossed, they wondered why,
Meow melodrama, secrets ready to tout!
I found a stunning but tattered greeting card which inspired a makeover.
Two black cats danced, tails all aflow,
“It takes two to tango,” they’d glow.
With grace, they’d prance, in a perfect dance,
A feline duo in sync, stealing the show!
I couldn’t think of anything to write about these duo and a kitten except to ask for a caption.
Two black cats, sly as can be,
In the night, they set hearts free.
With a wink and a purr,
They’d gently confer,
The smile that you gave to me is pure ecstasy!
This is the crazy math when you don’t spay and neuter.
A black cat, sleek and chic,
Found his favorite girl, so unique.
By her side, he’d snuggle and snore,
Luck and love, forevermore,
Their bond, a treasure, hearts and more.
Two black cats, like night and day,
In true love’s wild antics, they’d frolic and sway.
With tails tangled, they’d roam,
In their hearts, true love found its home,
A purrfect pair, making everyone’s day!

Those kittens on the red stairs…little one at the top:
‘What on earth are they doing down there?? OMC, “Its so mushy!”‘
Layla

Erin the cat
Wonderful poetry to accompany that delightful vintage romantic feline artwork.
I’m sure that kitten on the stairs is staring at his big sister and wondering what the fella is up to.

All these images are so adorable!
I noticed they are all the same style by the same artist whose credit can be discerned a couple of times, Florence E. Yaller.
She deserves much recognition for these charming artworks! And you for sharing them.
