Winning this book would be like getting a piece of my cats with Gary’s take on them. I love my cats. Always have and always will. And as long as Gary is around he in some ways immortalizes them through his art….

March 13, 2013 at 10:33 am (6 years ago)I bought Mr Patterson’s 2013 calendar in March of 2013 because I wanted it and no one bought it for me. I have return address labels of the cats and reorder when I run out. Our cats passed at 18 and 20 years and I would love the book to remember Jasmine and Allison. Thank you.
Jennie
March 12, 2013 at 10:39 pm (6 years ago)A Gary Patterson calendar has graced my kitchen wall for SO many years and I have enjoyed every drawing. Every month I so enjoy seeing the new drawing but also have fun searching for the mouse. I have owned indoor cats (or maybe they have owned me) for 40 years and Gary has a way of capturing their expressions so well. I am such a loyal fan of his that I would feel honored to have anything with his autograph.

March 8, 2013 at 4:48 pm (6 years ago)Hello Ingrid,
I collect books about cats and have currently more than a hundred books. However, the book by Gary Patterson I still haven’t got in my possession. I’ve already ordered several times from Dutch booksellers. After several times waiting for a long time. I got the announcement that it is not available anymore. Now I have the change to win a copy and also signed ! That’s really great. I hope you will make me very happy with a copy of this book. I have shared this post on my facebook page in the Netherlands.
Greetings Erna

I wish I still had the poster, it was hillarious. We have the cat antics checks, and get so many great comments about them. I love all his work!
