Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2003Tiffany cat lamp?
Greetings to all! I've lurked here on occasion, but haven't had the time to participate. I've read enough to know that the participants here are certainly the most helpful cat experts there are! (How's that for buttering up?) Of course, I have to let you know about our cat, Chessie, before I get to my question. Her story is at: http://www.fshobby.com/chessie.html . Her name comes from one of the mascots of the old Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad from the 1940s. "Sleep like a kitten, and arrive as fresh as a daisy." They were featured in the railroad's advertisements for many years. (Chessie even stayed at home with the kittens, while Peake went off to war.) Also, I want to put to rest rumors that Chessie is spoiled. She is NOT. She deserves all of the attention she gets! ;-) Anyway, on to my question. I've seen a couple of Tiffany-style hanging lamps, with cats on them. It's generally been in restaurants like TGI Fridays. I called some of the lighting places around here, hoping that one would be able to order a lamp like that. No luck with any of them. One said he remembered seeing them somewhere, but couldn't find anything in his catalogs. I also did a Google search, but didn't find anything. I'd like to get one for my wife for Christmas, but can't seem to find any. Does anyone know of a place that might have these? Thanks for your time! Peter Chessie's dad What a darling kitty and story.

Did a Google search for Tiffany lamp cat and they showed up! http://www.bearsinthewoods.net/shop/tiffanylampsanimalm26578.html http://www.crayonsoupzoo.com/metilacatpeh.html HTH Deb.

Greenfield > Hi Peter, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > Deb. Deb, you're the best! That's exactly what I was looking for. It gets even better. I tracked down the company that makes them, and found out that they can be customized for color. So, the cat can be black & white, like Chessie! They also gave me the name of a local supplier who would be willing to do the special order. Karen and Steve, thanks for your nice comments about Chessie. She's such a love. (In fact, she just jumped up on my lap now!) She sleeps with us, eats with us, and just has to be with us all the time! She's got bunny-soft fur, too. We couldn't have asked for a better cat. I knew this was the right place to come. Thanks so much for your help! Peter Oh, if anyone else wants to comment on how cute Chessie is, feel free. ;-) SignatureCharles M. Schulz 1922 - 2000.

MLB > Yes she IS cute -- also well fed and comfortable -- a contented kitty. > MLB Well fed is an understatement! When she was in the shelter, she developed a nasty case of gingivitis. On top of having to compete with 300 cats for food, her mouth was too sore to eat. After a long course of antibiotics, and removal of 2 teeth, it cleared up. She was 6.5 pounds when we got her, now 12.5 pounds! We have to watch her intake now, but she still gets treats that she shouldn't! Peter SignatureCharles M. Schulz 1922 - 2000.

I even searched on eBay for you but found nothing like what you describe. > Peter > Chessie's dad > > Greetings to all! > > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > What a pretty cat! I love the black spot under her chin! Yes, I liked that black spot from the beginning. She's got one on her front leg, too. In fact, my wife calls her "cow legs"!

You're right about most black and white cats having pink noses.. i have one like that. Glad to see you found what you're looking for further down in the thread.

Glad you found out where to get the tiffany lamps with cats on them. I did notice those last time I was in TGIF's.

Peter SignatureCharles M. Schulz 1922 - 2000. Cartoonist, artist, illustrator, philosopher, humanitarian. Rest in peace, old friend. And thank you for a lifetime of smiles and laughter. Chessie is very cute :-) I'd offer to custom make you a lamp (I do stained glass work), but unfortunately where I'm living I can't get any coloured glass, so I've had to put this hobby on hold for a few years. I'm glad that Debbie found some links for you, I'm going to save the pictures of the lamps and make one for myself one day when we move away from Thailand. -- Britta onqjvyfba@lnubb.pbz ROT13 to reply Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on Vino and "friends" album > Greetings to all! > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > Peter > Chessie's dad http://www.worldwidestore.com/Tiffany31F.htm http://tinyurl.com/wl8p http://tinyurl.com/wl8w http://pages.tias.com/87/PictPage/28927.html http://tinyurl.com/wl92 http://tinyurl.com/wl96 http://tinyurl.com/wl99 > Greetings to all! > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > Peter > Chessie's dad First, to all I didn't reply to personally, thanks for your comments! Last night, before dinner, my wife was watching QVC, or one of the other shopping channels. They had Tiffany lamps on. She said, "Oh, I want a Tiffany lamp with cats!" Looks like I had a good idea.
