apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Guitou the Cat

To be frank, I'm personally a little tired from the frenzy of decorative wall decals plastered across every decor site and magazine. Like any trend, there's a point when you've seen something so much, it becomes a bit stale...old hat...a novelty that's jumped the proverbial shark.

But even within worn out trends are glimmers of what first enticed you to it in the first place, and such is the case of Guitou the Cat, a series of wall vinyl stickers that have perfectly captured the frantic antic tomfoolery of a noir tomcat (not of the Scientological nature). This might be a great concession gift for cat lovers who are not allowed to house feline friends in their current apartments...some of the fun, without any of the litter box worries.

I think $80 is too pricey.

I think this would freak me out every time I saw it out of the corner of my eye.

I went ahead with the actual black cat instead.
Little expenses brought the cost to well over $80 very quickly, and "litter box worries" aren't the half of it. Sometimes, Anne in Chicago, actual black cat freaks me out. But in the long run, actual black cat's extensive features, including real-time play and purring, make her well worth it.

Gregory, I hold you completely responsible for the heart attack I just nearly had. Went looking for my genuine black cat (far more interactive! so 2.0!). No sign of cat in her usual spots. Did she go out on the patio with me and get left outside? Panic! Horror! Frantic calling of cat's name!

Cat was asleep behind the sofa.

Gordon and Wende, I envy you your actual black cats! My confused immune system prevents me from having one of my own. A decal would not only scare me but also make me very sad.

These are fantastic! I too am a little over the decals, I already have some Blik Flock on my wall, but these I would love to put somewhere....

This is a cool idea. I am finding that the more I look at apartments on this site the more I see kitties on the couch or on shelving. It is like the cats "complete" the entire setting. Funny thing is, I am a dog person and just yesterday I was telling my friend I wanted a cat! Thanks AT for slowly converting me!

I agree that $80.00 for wall decals is too expensive. Heck, for $80.00 I could buy 8 cats! Not that I would...
