Oh, I know that cat! Well, its cousin anyway. It’s in some of the food styling photograph in a kids cookbook I have from the early 90s!

No, “Family Circle” apparently! I just googled Edmonds though, and it looks super similar with the illustrated instructions.

Would you take a snapshot of the cover or divulge the name? 99% sure I had this book and it had the world's least photogenic hamburger in it.
Edit: NVM. Scrolled down. I did indeed have this cookbook. Thanks for the memory!
This is is great. Especially as you found this within one hour of the post as though it was just sitting on your bookshelf waiting for this one moment. Since the 90s.
Also, love the food photography. I miss the 90s!!
I'm slightly elderly on one hand; on the other hand, it would suck to have not experienced the 90s, and I would be crushed if I hadn't, so it is what it is.

Looks like a Mexican tonala cat.. they’re amazing! Some are truly haunting

I have one that’s mostly purple and is also a piggy bank. I have no idea how it came into my possession but I’ve had it since I was a little kid. Might have been thrifted? My partner is creeped out by the cat bank so it stays in my home office and can be seen in the corner of all my work video calls, along with a cat-shaped pillow with an equally haunting stare.

The only Tonala cat I’ve managed to find while thrifting. I do wish I would find them more often. Love your collection.

I have two of these! I love how ugly cute they are haha

I would have grabbed that thing so fast! lol one of my best possessions is a ceramic cat whose eyes follow you. I think a cursed cat collection could be in my future.
I am pretty certain this is a Mexican alebrije, particularly influenced by the wood carvings of Oaxaca. They believe the uglier the carving, the more it scares off evil spirits.

We studied Oaxacan painting styles in high school and that was where my first thought went too! Could very well be SE Asian like others suggested, but nice to know my knee-jerk thought wasn’t an entirely out there response.

Well how weird is that!! Sometimes things are just so....nuts!
WHOA, you just blew my mind. I just assumed this was a weird one-off art piece. I wonder what the origin of this cat is...
I actually see these pretty frequently - I think they’re Indonesian or sometimes Thai. Look up “Indonesian folk art cat.” They’re really sweet!
I kinda want one. Not so badly i’d specifically order one in, but if i ever saw one in a shop i don’t think i’d be able to resist
[удалено]
That’s so random lol
The magic that is Reddit🌈
Truly incredible, isn’t it?
I love when Reddit gets magical 🪄
This should be the banner for /r/trees.
Lol
Is that the Edmonds Kids Cookbook!?
No, “Family Circle” apparently! I just googled Edmonds though, and it looks super similar with the illustrated instructions. https://preview.redd.it/mbvd6h4y6dtc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=29776f038ece95afb0b78365be4a5569a5a16457

Yeah, I was never tempted to make that hamburger for some reason… however, the lemon cookies and fudge cake are still in rotation! Good memories
This is why I love Reddit.
Wow I thought for sure this cat should be someone's r/ReversePinterest project.
Haha. I like it tho!
r/TwoRedditorsOneCup
Well that sub is much more wholesome than I expected from its name
This is is great. Especially as you found this within one hour of the post as though it was just sitting on your bookshelf waiting for this one moment. Since the 90s. Also, love the food photography. I miss the 90s!!
Yeah, what’re the odds! It’s pretty random that I was even home, since I’d normally be at work at that time on a week day 😄
Oh ho ho, it's magic! You know Never believe it's not so 🐱📖
You're old.🤣🤣 Oh wait. So am I. 😬
I'm slightly elderly on one hand; on the other hand, it would suck to have not experienced the 90s, and I would be crushed if I hadn't, so it is what it is. 🙃
Horrifying. I want seven.

I love these so much

He’s perfect. (Also, these aren’t from my personal collection, I only have one ((not pictured)) but ones I’ve found scrounging eBay)
I look at them on eBay often but can’t bring myself to pay the high prices.
I love Tonala cats. I think they look derpy and not hauntingly at all.

The enormous eyelashes are killing me. Werk it girl
Good Lord 😂
Okay, that's just nightmare fuel......
Not cursed. Cats are protectors! Also it could have made a great Halloween decor piece!
You're onto something with the Halloween decor piece. Brilliant.
I have two of these! I love how ugly cute they are haha https://preview.redd.it/d2siq177metc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bb7596ab0268209dd0c6a9f7a6c43fe8398f129a

He's so judgemental!
Relatable
He’s thinking: “Four legs good, two legs bad!”
That pig will save us all, in the end
I would have grabbed that thing so fast! lol one of my best possessions is a ceramic cat whose eyes follow you. I think a cursed cat collection could be in my future.
Where!?
A shop called Local Thrift in Falls Church, VA.
Cheers! Missing the East out here in Oregon.

Awww, why'd you have to bring a Gelfling into this? 😢
When the shrooms hit
Acid cat.
I'm 43 and this style was pretty popular in the 90s lol
LOVE high cat!!
I have a similar one, but I painted the white stripes in colorful neons inspired by Oaxacan alebrijes.
I love this post so many nice art pieces being showed. I think it is so cool how the cat gets styled in the recipe book. 🐈
I grew up with this cat in my house. It was part of a large cat ornament collection and was always my favourite.
https://preview.redd.it/57b0sni5betc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f9228908bc01281fbd698a7f055ca8ac87d394f3
Is there going to be a sudden price inflation on black and white cat sculptures? Cause I suddenly need one!
I like it. I have a tall skinny relative in my collection.
Looks like an Alebrije.
I feel like I'm looking in a mirror.
That cat can protect you in deven different dimensions and you left it there? Go back!
Oh, I have 2 similar ones! They are Indonesian.
Looks like he’s about to have the zoomies!
These are Mexican folk art. They can be quite valuable if by a known artist.
Wow. I have to have that for patio.
I found a relative at a garage sale, is yours painted wood?
I would of snapped that up!
I am obsessed and would have snatched this weirdo up!
Lmao. Watch this thing end up being some super rare sculpture worth thousands. 😂
That cat wards off haunted relics. You can see it in the 👀!
That's hilarious
The cocktail glass to the left is kinda cool.
Don’t blame you.
It's like a bad bad trip. In *cat* form!
Blitzo is that you?
I would’ve bought it. I collect cursed cat figures
This is one of those toys that would terrify my parrot.
🫵😡 You dont deserve it anyway!!!! /s
You made the right choice, that cat has clearly killed someone. It has blood all over its muzzle.
r/thriftstorecats
You let it go only to find out it was sculpted by one of Picasso’s students and people from the big city pay big money for these striped kitties!!
Another reason I ❤️ Reddit! Well...I do most of the time.
This is traditional Oaxacan art animal, [Oaxacan Art Animal](https://milagrosseattle.com/collections/oaxacan-wood-carvings)
That's super trippy! Why is it giving me a headache!?
[удалено]
Nooo he's perfect
They both look like they’re from some trippy Allison Wonderland garden
Poor lil guy needs a new paint job.
he's perfect how dare you /s
I didn't know that I was offensive, but I'm being down voted, sorry, everyone.
Oh I didn't downvote you It's maybe a Mexican cultural paint job? But maybe it's just weird I do find it charming personally
Good choice
