1) first attempts: these are a lot of work, adding faces inside there and all, so I am not gonna do that anymore and
2) Summer was like "how about the handle is a tail????" which I had been wondering about, and decided to go with
****added later that same day, because of confusion: I don't think I explained myself very well at all. I am now making 2 different styles of cat mugs, which I like: seen below here in grey, raw clay, the rim shaped with cat ears, and also the added ears and face on the rim --when you look at the glaze fired pieces pictured further down and see the face INSIDE on the bottom, those are the ones that are too much work :)
SO, what we have is 2 versions of cat mugs I was finishing yesterday here, and there are bowls too...have an awesome weekend!

Cat and pottery lovers beware! These are super! Thanks for sharing...I enjoy your blog frequently.
Hooray! More cat mugs! I love the ones with the faces on the side. Sorry that they're a lot of work but we must all suffer a bit for great art. Or something like that. Yes, save me one or maybe a mug and a bowl if you have a bowl with a face. They're (as you say) tres cute!
I'm not a cat person per se, but these are seriously cute mugs! I especially like the ones with the faces on the side! The tail handle is COOL !

I agree with Claudia and RDG about the faces on the sides of the mugs, and the tails area a great touch.
LOVE the cat mugs with the tail handles. I don't think they need faces, the shape is purr-fect (sorry, had to) I'll be watching for those to land in your etsy store.

both styles are way cool but i think the altered rim with no face and tale is my fave.
I vote for the tail with the face on the rim. (They are BADDDD!!! in the good way.)(The ones with the faces on the bottom have to be screened for PTSD prior to use...)
I adore everything you make Gary! I love it all......
whoa man - these are def collectable! They rock, and are very cute and cuddly.. I kinda gotta get one! I should stop by this week if ur around
Mugging for the camera again.
The cat'o'onetail mug is great.
That cat grinning at me from the bottom of the mug is KILLING me.
