Description Also known as The Lady of Delights and Giver of Wings, Nepeta is the patron saint of catnip, wand toys and good times in general.

In her right had is a wand of valerian, honeysuckle and cat thyme - plants much loved by cats. In her left is the catnip for which she's named.

This picture was inspired watching my cats Mitten (little black and white kitten in the bottom) and Cassie (mackerel tabby above her) leaping around the room like they thought the catnip had given them wings. The other cats in the picture are cats I know or cat who have owned me in the past.

I hope you like it

Kitties with fairy wings! That is just so adorable.
Except the poor birds wouldn't have a chance.

Yes, I'm a huge fan of nouveau, and Alphonse Mucha in particular. But then, honestly, who isn't? It seems every artist, especially if they're female, has at least one art nouveau piece in their gallery. And who can blame them?

Hear, hear! My sister's birthday card (not uploaded to dA yet) was 100% art nouveau, and I enjoyed every second of it.
