Cute Cat Icons
White Persian Cat Icon
These Cute Cat icons have just been released over at the Iconfactory. The collection includes six cat breeds: the Abyssinian, American Shorthair, Bombay, Russian Blue, Siamese and White Persian.
It was a snowy weekend in January, when these super cute, kawaii inspired cat illustrations first turned up. It started with one, and although I wasn’t sure what to do with them, they gradually expanded into a whole family of cat characters and suddenly it became clear to me, that they wanted to be icons.
Now I’m writing from the middle of July. There’s a heat wave. Summer dresses made of cotton or linen, watermelon, iced coffee, Gazpacho (cold Spanish vegetable soup), Chlodnik (Polish chilled beetroot soup), Ajo Blanco (Spanish chilled almond soup), nectarines, feta cheese and midnight swims in the lake are my life savers. And the creative process for Cute as a Button illustrations seems far away. In deep winter. But here they are, the first volume of Cute Cat icons.

Hi Kate, your cat icons are adorable!! They truly are as cute as a button :) I looked but can’t find the Abyssinian icon. Pls let me know, thx! Wini xo
Hi Wini, thanks so much for your kind comment! You have to download the icons to find the Abyssinian as they don’t all fit into the preview image. xo
Dearest Kate, your kitty icons are sooo adorable! I love them especially this one! Have a lovely merry happy day and love to you!
Adorable!!! By the way, your soups sound delicious and the midnight swim sounds marvelous :)
Just LOVE your kitty cat icons, Kate…this one is so sweet–and the white does remind of winter… Thank goodness we have summer to drink up now! Many thanks for your kind & supportive comment at my place. Happy Weekend, my friend :o) ((HUGS))
Dear Kate, Thx for your reply! I’ve downloaded the icons and they are gorgeous. I especially like the Abyssinian, as I have two Somalis (long haired Abys). The heat wave sounds wonderful & sounds like you’re making the most of it! :)
WOW Wini!!! I’m sooo glad! *big smile*! There’s a volume two of the kitties, so there are more goodies to come for cat lovers!
A big thank you to everyone for your supportive and enthusiastic comments!
dresses, watermelon, iced coffee…your days sound so much like mine. I will be looking up recipes for Chlodnik & Ajo Blanco. as I have not heard of either before, but they both sound yummy. I’m happy the cats came out of hibernation as icons!
Amy, here are my recipes for
Ajo Blanco: http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/type-of-dish/soups/ajo-blanco-chilled-almond-soup.html
Chlodnik: (in rather rotten translation by Google Translate) http://translate.google.com/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&layout=1&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tasteline.com%2FRecept%2FChlodnik__kall_rodbetssoppa_fran_Polen_&sl=sv&tl=en
Both DELICIOUS, and both with many variations. Ajo Blanco can have bread in it too. Often Chlodnik is simply called “Polish beetroot soup” in English recipes. Best of luck and enjoyment with your summer cooking!
Oh, in the Chlodnik recipe, “Västerås cucumbers” are pickled cucumbers.
Ack, in the Chlodnik recipe (silly automated translation) ägghalvor are halved boiled eggs, rödbetsblasten are the bunch of beets, småputtra is simmer, you can substitute kefir with yoghurt or sourcream, and finally by “tails” they mean crayfish tails.
Love your icons, they’re great, and the eyes so expressive. I enjoy the way you think! Many inspirations and balance to you!
