A Tale Of Two Kitties

Cat lovers will reach owner-enlightenment with these four-sided glasses featuring yin and yang images exploring feline duality. Corresponding cat wisdom floats near each good and bad kitty portrait, while the secret of true harmony: "The Tao of Cat is to do your thing and leave the kitty alone" runs along the side of each glass.

Kitty wisdom includes:

"To obey is to resist"
"To shun is to adore"
"In catnip there is dignity"
"Napping overcomes wrath"

Glassware made in New Jersey, decorated in Minnesota. Sold as a set of four. .

“I like to keep things pretty simple. I focus on warmth, humor, and emotion.”

Patricia Carlin believes that a small sketch has the power to tell a story without language. She started out as an art director in Philadelphia, selling everything from potato chips to financial products. In 2001, a friend wanted help launching a glassware business, so Patricia designed and wrote copy for several products for the new venture. Patricia has explored many techniques in her illustration, but simple line drawing appeals to her most. "For me, paring things down to their simplest essence is always the best way to understand them," she says.

The glasses are adorable and hilarious, and everyone who has seen them has agreed. They are solidly constructed, but of course, made of glass; hence my comment above about fearing I'll break one. They are so cute as a set that I'd be really bummed to lose one. Additionally, the manufacturer recommends hand washing, to avoid the effects of harsh detergents on the color/appearance of the design. So, maybe a little extra care is required for these glasses, but they're well worth it!

I ordered these glasses for my friend's birthday. I got so happy and excited when they arrived! They arrived very nicely packaged so they won't break but as soon as I took one glass out of the box my smile disappeared: there was a huge scratch on it!!! I first thought maybe it was a part of design (there is a "scratching kitty" on that glass) but it would be a very weird one then! None of the other glasses have scratches like that. (I did take pics but it is really hard to see on it how deep that scratching mark is)
I would have exchanged them if I had any time.
