Welcome! Welcome to the Land of Imaginary Cats! I'm your guide and I hope to teach you all about those fantastical, fictional felines who creep in and out of our favorite movies, books, cartoons, comics, songs, legends, stationery, and oh, so much more. I'll try to stick to pretend kitties, but the occasional real cat might sneak its way in, if it seems to be a particularly relevant muse (mews? I'm not averse to horrible cat puns!) to a particularly relevant creator. Thank you for visiting! I'm so happy you're here!

Sophocles the Hyena, Illustrated by Andy Warhol


andywarhol, originally uploaded by Kit Knitty.

I found this illustration in a book called "Best in Children's Books," from 1960. It has some really nice artwork by Andy Warhol. I've scanned all the pages and posted them to my Flickr account to share with people. The book is not easy to find. (Try Etsy or Abebooks.)

I love these illustrations and now wish I could find the other books he illustrated. (There are at least 4 others.)

Richard Scarry also has some artwork in the book that's okay, but it's not nearly as good as his artwork in this book for the Three Little Pigs. You can see a detail from the cover on the listing page.
