Happy new year! It’s been a while since the last cat cover and it was high time to remedy that… And of course with a sad anniversary to mark, Bowie it had to be… What I love about doing the cat covers is that you […]

All the cat covers of famous albums catified
Bowie was god
Waking up to news I wish I’d never hear – after all, if anyone was close to godlike, it was David Bowie, the thin white duke, starman, Ziggy… Bowie has been a huge part of my music life, first in the 80s, then discovering all […]
Patti Smith – Horses revisited
I went to Field Day festival at the weekend, and no question, Patti Smith won the day for being the most pro and warm performer. Although it’s not my usual musical cup of tunes, by the time she launched into Dancing Barefoot, I was […]
The Kittles – Sergeant Mouser’s lonely cat club band
Right, this is the most preposterous one so far. But from the very beginning, I kept on thinking how cool it would be to catify everyone on this particular album cover. I can tell you one thing, there is a lot more than meets the […]
New dEUS cat cover! mEUS – no more meow’d music
cat cover homage to Deus by karuski
Hiss ‘n’ purr with the Modern Meowers (feline homage to Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers)
As discussed previously, Jonathan Richman rules my world. On the principle that he’s just a big blouse of happy, I even started my own version of 100 days of happy with #100daysofJonathanRichman on Twitter to celebrate how good he makes me feel. And so a cat […]
Interview in Belgium on the importance of cat art
In 2013, following my involvement in the Meow exhibition, I was interviewed by a journalist from Le Vif l’Express, one of the major French language national paper in Belgium (a bit like the Observer here) about the place of cats in art and specifically album covers […]
Meowin’ with Nancy (cat homage to Nancy Sinatra)
Thing is, I love few things more than the sixties. The dresses, the spirit, the songs, the girls, it’s all there… And in the goddess Trilogy, there is Nancy (and Dusty and Aretha). A favourite album, featuring a few luminaries (and you might have guessed […]
Nick Cat and the Bad Kitties (homage to Nick Cave)
So many reasons to continue the cat covers with Nick Cave – the red white and black cover, the germanic influence, trying to score tickets last year and failing twice, then winning entry to an exclusive gig at Koko in Camden that just blew my […]
Tomcat Waits – Clawing time (Homage to Tom Waits)
Like Parallel Felines, the name of the album guided this choice. The fact that it’s a blinder of an amazing album which turns me into a purring machine did also have some bearing in the decision. I never thought the lines and shapes would amount […]
Purrdie – Parallel Felines (Homage to Blondie)
And so in the land of black, white and red, there was Blondie (see also Kraftwerk and Nick Cave). And although I laboured the pun on the band name, Parallel Felines was just too obvious not to try and shoehorn that one in. I’ve already […]
Blur becomes Purr – Julian Opie style
My good friend Billie suggested this one – so obvious!!! I thought this would be such an easy one to do, and by all accounts, oh my, how wrong was I…. Simplicity is indeed very hard to achieve. Woo HOO! Find the cat cover prints for sale […]
