I've always collected cat things, the hub and I have a nice collection of cat Christmas ornaments, but somehow, I've started a collection of cat salt and pepper shakers too....sigh! Am I the only one here who collects so much cat stuff???


PS..I also seem to collect dust lately too.....

My MIL is a cat-doo-hicky collector. We call her home, "The Cat Museum." Whether it's ugly, cute, wierd, unique...if it's CAT, she has it. All. Over. The. House.


As much as I love cats, I'm not into collecting kitty collectibles and cat "stuff." There are some cute knick-knacks out there, I'm just more of a minimalist...easier to clean!

I like to collect some cat-related stuff, but not too much. I did, however, have a major addiction to The Cat's Meow Village pieces about 10 years ago. I collected a lot of custom pieces related to my hometown, and then Pittsburgh, but mostly of Gettysburg.

Right now, the townhome I live in has perfect little ledges right above all the windows and door frames. So guess where my CMV pieces reside?!?!

I collect those little teensy tiny painted wooden turtles with the heads that bobble. They sell them at arts & crafts fairs and in little market places. I LOVE them!!!!!!! I have maybe 10-15 and am always on the lookout for more

I collect all kinds of stuff. Betty Boop, Elvis, tattoo and music related stuff, mostly. I have a lot of stuff that I just like that is really not much related to anything else in the collection. I just thinned out my Lava Lamp collection. They made the room too hot, and I had several duplicates.

It's not intentional but I collect art and craft supplies.
paper, pens, paints, pencils, erasers, beads, fabric (many boxes full), etc
I have a horrible habit that if I see something I think " oh, that would be cute to make such and such with".

Those sound cute!
I wonder if I could find unpainted ones anywhere, I could paint them to match each of my 8 baby box turtles


My in laws are convinced I collect pets (reptiles) too.

I collect shot glasses from any place I visit or to where someone close went. Most of these are places I have been to. Below is a photo of my collection to date.

I don't anymore, but I used to collect foreign coins and bills. It all started in 3rd grade when I asked for "Egypt money" for Christmas! I still have the collection, but I just don't collect anymore.

Trust me you are not alone!
We collect cat theme watercolors, limited edition signed lithographs etc., and in general, re collecting, I like boxes - wood, metal, ceramic, and I collect Harmony Kingdom Treasure Jests.

I'd love to collect other things but no room to start doing so at this time
