My kids read it too, and mutter about vampiric bunnies when our veg in the fridge look limp :lol:

I was quite surprised to learn that in Vietnam, they celebrate the Year of the Cat rather than the Rabbit. I remember there was a song by that name. The big cat scarf which I find difficult to wear is Dallet's Panthera Pardus. The panther is majestic but hard to feature when you wear it. Here in a 90 and 2 gavs.

You are the master of tying 2 gavs together… this really works for this design… So srriking!

I have 2 scarfs with bunnies. Both are from Kermit Oliver and both are framed. So I can’t wear them. Here they are, from “ the time when nothing is real” and” Texas wild life”. Speaking of what scarf to wear for my 1st work day of the CNY, I am debating between the red kachinas ( which I wore last year for CNY) and the gold Zenobie. Both are lucky colors for CNY. What do you think?

I acrually love both choices… Those KO graphics and details always take my breath away

I was searching for bunnies in my scarf collection and found more than I expected! Many of them are designs from recent years and there are some dupicates. It also happen to be three of my favourite, current scarf artists!

The bunny was one of the reason why I had to have this scarf in my collection. It's too cute!!

Such wonderful examples! These Jonathan Burton and Jan Bajtlik scarves are so useful for these special themed days… plus they are a delight

Welcome to Day 2 of the Paws for Thought theme week! Today we're focusing on kitties*! Housecats. Kittycats. Pussycats. Tomcats. Grimalkins. There are somewhere between fifteen and 73 breeds of cat, depending on your source. These include the fluffy Persian, the sleek Siamese, the tail-less Manx and the hairless Sphynx. The smallest breed is the Singapura, which weighs under 5 pounds. The largest breed is the Maine Coon (aka fluff monster) which can weigh as much as 25 pounds.

There are many famous cats: Morris, Grumpy, Smudge, Puss in Boots, Garfield, Sylvester, the Cheshire Cat.

Man’s love of feline companionship is not new. In ancient Egypt, cats were sacred animals, and often mummified at the sanctuary of the cat goddess Bastet or entombed with their owners’ remains. Abraham Lincoln had two cats, one which was fed with a gold fork, and the other which was reputed to be smarter than Lincoln’s whole cabinet. France launched a cat into space (Felicette, who was chosen for her calm disposition, survived the flight), and tradition has a mouser with Britain’s Prime Minister at 10 Downing Street.

Kitties are featured prominently in Daphne Duchesne’s Les Chats, Christine Henry’s Cave Felem, and Florence Manlik’s Le Chat Carre.

And so, my Silken Sisters and Brothers, I ask you to show me your kitties! Bonus points for showing your real life catkins!

(*Have no fear – wild cats will be featured later this week! And remember, any SOTD is on-theme!)
Such great examples! I especially love the Sur Mon Nuage on you

Oh, good morning and thank you @Snausages-- what great scarves and examples. I wish we could have cats at my house but everyone is so allergic (including me!) so we have to admire from afar and love our hypo-allergenic dogs! If I did have a cat, it might be tempted to nestle into one of my orange boxes and become as flat as the little kitty on my SOTD: Le Chat Carre!

Such an unusual style! I can’t think of any other design quite like it… Looks amazing on you and it is so striking tied

Contributing some Chats. I have a weakness for kitties and BIN this design whenever I find it at a reasonable price point.

Aaaaah! Such a special one! And, you have TWO?!

Happy Lunar Year of the Rabbit (or Cat) silkies! Lots of fUn furry deets and regretfully I released my Zodiac Rabbit scarf because I hoped to collect all the zodiac pochettes and H stopped producing my zodiac year (Ram) and DD’s (Year of the Monkey). But, the lovely winter to spring design Ballade de Heian makes up for the loss!

one of my fav furry creatures silks of the north: la Vie du grand Nord. Honore captured huskies, Polar bears and creatures with such sweet faces.

Beautiful silks… The Heian is a treasure and I am so happy to be your Vie du Grand Nord twin… Both are works of art

Here are some rabbits on Petit Venerie, or small game hunting, designed by Charles-Jean Hallo in 1971.

My teal version is sisters with the red version shown by @Croisette7 yesterday. Petit Venerie is my scarf of the day.

Oh wow! Looks like my Ponki! Adorable! And, beautiful CW of Chat Carré

Such beautiful and special kitties on these glorious scarves… And your kitty cats are so precious

You’re right! No bunnies, or cats, that I can find on Animapolis. That is a surprise, given the menagerie of mischief contained there. There are dogs though. 18 of them, to be precise. Can you find them all?

I have dogs on my mind, as my dear old boy is in for surgery today, which is always a worry, especially at his age. Wish us luck.

Animapolis then, is the scarf I choose for today. On theme, and a favourite for my very favourite boy while he’s at the Veterinary hospital. Excuse the hoodie; I am dressed for practicality today.

Jan Bajtlik included an homage to Kluska, his dog, who is a central character and who appears repeatedly through the design. There are 18 Kluskas in Animapolis, including a dear one with Jan himself. Kluska makes an appearance in many of Jan’s designs.

For anyone who wants to join the hunt, archive web pic below. It’s the charity SE edition (I don’t own it, but I wish I did: it’s a grail of mine!). Including this for anyone who wants to play, as I think it’s the clearest CW for finding Kluska!

I will post the answers later today, so as not spoil the fun for anyone who wants to join in. Can you find them all?
Kluska is so cute! And, yes, so fun to play Where’s Waldo the Kluska version with this design!
 
Happy Sunday, Scarflandia, and welcome to a new theme week for SOTD. Not only is today the beginning of a new theme week, it’s the beginning of the Lunar New Year!

According to Chinese astrology, today marks the beginning of a Year of the Rabbit. So inspired, this week’s theme is Paws for Thought: Bunnies, kitties, dogs and other furbabies (or featherbabies, or scalebabies – go on and stretch that theme!).​


To start the week (and the year) I’m focusing today on the Rabbit. The bunny. The hare. The lagomorph. There are more than 60 bunny breeds, including several lops (dangly ears), those identified by countries of origin (American rabbit, Netherland dwarf rabbit, Polish rabbit - to name a few), and different variations of cottontail (Eastern cottontail, New England cottontail, Desert cottontail…). The Flemish giant rabbit weighs on average 15 pounds, while the Pygmy rabbit weights less than a pound.

There are many famous rabbits: the Easter Bunny, Bugs Bunny, the Energizer Bunny, the Cadbury Bunny, Peter Cottontail (aka Peter Rabbit), Jessica Rabbit (she’s not bad – she’s just drawn that way!), and Bambi’s friend Thumper.

Bunnies are featured prominently in Hugo Grykgar’s 1950s classic Le Bles (which actually celebrates the wheatfield), Claudia Stuhlhofer-Mayer’s La Magie (watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!), and the rabbit/duck illusion gav. And yes there was a Year of the Rabbit gav!

Well - erm - I’m not sure what I did… but… fabulous intro @Snausages, and hello to my Les Bles twin!
(All I can say is that there was not enough coffee yesterday :facepalm:)

This whole time I thought there was just one, LOL, but now I see 7 Kluskas and at least 7 non-human primates too. Monkeys! Monkeys! Monkeys!
