The Artist and Cats
Margaret Loftin Whiting

As true cat people have discovered, images of cats have been sought after and enjoyed since the first cat joined the family circle and took up the role of trusted companion. But among those eons of images, there is perhaps none that captures so completely and well the "Essence of Cat" as the exquisite work of Margaret Loftin Whiting. This talented California artist is known primarily for her work in the corporate sector. You will also find her contributions to the Women's Tribute Series on permanent display at the Smithsonian. But in addition to these laudable achievements, Margaret has an uncanny understanding of cats. Part spiritual connection, part artist's disciplined observation, this intuitive grasp of the feline soul has contributed to an amazing body of work. The Margaret Loftin Whiting Cats. Visually articulate, and sure to capture your heart.

If you love cats, this cat art is for you!

Cat Naps
Dreaming of
black cats is lucky.
Of tortoiseshell cats,
matters of the heart.
Good fortune comes
with ginger cats,
white cats, purity
of spirit. Black and
white cats represent
relationships with
children. Tabby
cats bring luck
to the home and all who dwell within. Calico cats are bearers of luck with new and old friends. Dreaming of grey cats is to be guided by your dreams. So it is said of cats in dreams.

When night falls,
and cats fill your
dreams, remember
how they'll color
your life when
morning comes.
