As promised in my Harvest Monday, September 15 post, below are 6 of the 50 cats on view in the Village of Catskill, NY, May through September 20, 2014.
This is the 8th Cat’n Around Catskill exhibit, and what an exhibit it is. As you can see from the photos below, each artist had put a great deal of work into his/her cat. The details are amazing.
The cats are mounted on pedestals. Most of them are on Main Street, others are on Route 23B, West Main Street and Route 9W.
On Saturday, September 27 at 3 p.m. there will be an Auction & Gala at the Historic Catskill Point. The proceeds from the auction will benefit Participating Artists, Local Not-for-Profits, Barry Hopkins Art Scholarship Fund and Heart of Catskill Association for future Catskill promotion.
To view a gallery of all the 2014 cats go to veronicachewensphotography.com.

Hi Norma, Wow those sculptures are SO good. Reminds me of towns in Vt that do cows with lots of color and charm. Would be cool to see cats. Maybe next year! Phyll

Hello Phyll,
You would appreciate all the effort that went into each cat. I was going to post more than 6 but did not want to bore my readers to death.
Hi Norma, what a wonderful event for the town. You can see there is much detail in each one. Thanks for sharing!
Hello Cheri,
The amount of time and effort each artist put into his/her cat is just stunning.
What fun! I love those cats! That’s a terrific way to get visitors to Catskill!
Hello Maureen,
The Catskill is a beautiful area but in need of revitalizing.
It’s great that your daughter took the images for you. I love these quirky cats and I love how they’re all on pedestals. I think my favourite is the pharaoh xx
Hello Charlie,
My daughter is a much, much better photographer than I and she love to take photos so I take advantage when we go places together.
I love all of these, what a fun post! Thank you so much for sharing. 🙂 I love them all…and my favourite is the one with the umbrella!
Hello Linda,
You are welcome, I had a great time putting the post together.
They are so adorable. The one with the umbrella is the sweetest.
Hello Angie,
Thanks. It was difficult deciding which cats to post as I did not want to bore readers with too many.
Norma,
I love the cats! Thanks for posting them!

Hello Ann,
You are welcome. Let’s organize a trip to the Catskill village next year.
The art on these cats are beautiful and so detailed! How fun to add a mouse on the last one. Fitting!
Hello Sandra,
Up close they are even more beautiful.
These are fantastic. I’ll have to show them to the kids later. They will love it. The cat-apult is my favorite for sure!
Hello Kristy,
I am thinking Cat-a-Pult is going to be Mr. N’s favorite as well. Wonder how many hours went into creating it.
How cute and fun, Norma! J swears I’m a cat, lol. I will have to share this post with him!
Hello Angela,
Let me know what J thinks of the post.
Love your Post! I bet you love the cat with the frog best!!
Hello Pat,
That and the Cat-a-Pult.
What fun!!! I would love to be there!!
Hello Susan,
It was a fun trip, the artistic talents were amazing..
i don’t know why, but the cats looks creepy for my eyes….
Hello Dedy,
Art is very subjective.
Fun to view!
Hello Cheffie Cooks,
It was a fun display.
These cats are so cool, such creative designs 😀
Cheers

Hello Uru,
I was amazed at the artists creativity, yes it was a cool display..
This looks like so much fun! Our city had a similar event years ago with big cows that each artist painted.. then they were auctioned off for charity. I still see the odd cow downtown or in someone’s yard, they’re really a cool piece of art if you can bid on them. One of these would look great in your garden:)
Hello Barbara,
Wish I could afford to bid on one of them.
I can’t believe I missed this one, thanks so much for posting. The cats are indeed quite clever and thoughtful! In Toronto, we had moose, Zurich, Switzerland had cows, naturally!
Hello Eva,
You are welcome. You did not miss the post just a bit late to the party.
