A colourful drawing of an anime catgirl in middle ages costume, with a medieval manuscript style cat on her lap. She is smiling and holds her hands up in a cat-like pose. Behind her is a golden halo with lines radiating out, and she is surrounded by a medieval-inspired patterned border. A banner at the bottom reads 'Ye olde anime cat maiden'.

Been working on some silly print designs 🐱

Detail einer Holzskulptur einer Marienstatue des 13. Jahrhunderts aus der Region Mittelitalien. Maria mit dem Jesuskind auf dem Arm (hier nicht im Bild), hat die Füße auf einen Schemel abgestellt, unter dem Schemel haben sich zwei Katzen versteckt. Ihre Vorderfüße strecken sich den Betrachter entgegen, die Köpfe schauen unter dem Schemel hervor. Die Augen sind weit geöffnet und dem Betrachter zugewandt.

Oh hey! I blogged! This time it's a book review for Catherine Nappington's Medieval Cats Claws, Paws, and Kitties of Yore. Unfortunately this one is more of a coffee table book, but still has some cute art! squibble.studio/book... #MedievalCats #NetGalley

We're going to leave cats licking their own butts with this image from a Bavarian Missal dated c1440-1460 where Christ is shown in all his majesty… with a cat licking its butt above his head. #medievalmarginalia #medievalcats #medievalmanuscripts

Occasionally, the scribe clearly dreamt of punishing the cat for its behaviour as in this 13th century French Bible. #medievalmarginalia #medievalcats #medievalmanuscripts

Sometimes the manuscript scribe wasn't content with illustrating just one butt-licking cat as demonstrated by these cats from the prayer book of Charlotte of Savoy, c1420. #medievalmarginalia #medievalcats #medievalmanuscripts

I started exploring cats in medieval marginalia for this week and found a hilarious trope in medieval marginalia as demonstrated by this cat from c1290 in "Liber de natura rerum" by Thomas of Cantimpré. #medievalmarginalia #medievalcats #medievalmanuscripts

I doodled today! It is normal cats

An open book of old 15th Century medieval manuscripts, with Inky black cat paw prints, walking from left to right across both pages 🙈

Monk sighs, ink is spread,
"Ohh, you cat!" a whispered word,
... A furry footnote.

Good evening! Here's a bit of humor for you.
#medievalcats

Medieval manuscript illumination in an initial. It shows a white cat - well, what someone thought a cat might look like, it looks far more like a white rat but with smaller ears - on top of a brown large clay oven with a rounded top. The background it gold. To the right are three mice (or actual rats) peeking out of the wall and staring at the cat that is clearly in hunting mode.

Is that a cat on an oven looking at mice peeping out of openings in a wall? Is it? A cat? That's the most rat-looking cat I've ever seen #MedievalCats
1285-92 BnF Arsenal Ms. 3142, fol.272v

Help!

I'm going pottery painting and I don't know what to paint.

Last time we went I turned this medieval cat into a plate and I want to stick to the medieval marginalia theme.

So, basically, what I'm looking for is your favourite weird medieval animal paintings.

#marginalia #medievalcats

Oh yes thank you, cat with muddy paw print. Right on my parchment ruled for demonstration 😠 #bookhistory #medievalcats

Joyous! #medievalcats (niche hashtags r us)

Medieval Paintings of Cats Licking Their Butts Sometimes monks would add depth to the words by illustrating the stories. And sometimes, they'd just draw cats licking their butts.

"Butt licking cats is a weirdly common theme in medieval art, and nobody’s really sure why."
