Cat 2012 Gallery Calendar (Page a Day Gallery Calendar)

 (36 customer reviews)

We've only gotten this calendar for one year, but have enjoyed it and will be re-ordering for 2012. Our hope is that there won't be any/many repeats of photos. The photos, which are, for the most part quite good, and printed nicely on very heavy paper . Occasionally there's a photo that looks like a too-arranged studio piece, but there are only a few of those. Some of the photos are arresting, and often, the photographer has captured something of the mind, intent, mood, or soul of its cat subject. And face it, if you love cats, you almost always wish you could have more. This calendar allows you to have a new cat every day (Weekends get only one cat.) The calendar, as a whole, captures the domestic cat in its infinite variety. The plastic holder is substantial and simple, and displays the photos well. Our only complaint is that if you know very much at all about cats, you'll be put off by the captions which seem to have been written by someone who doesn't know much about cats. Almost...Read more

I have been getting the Cat Gallery calendars since 2002. I have enjoyed the company of two cats and love their attitude and antics. Just when I think they are too independent, one will drop into my lap and cuddle.

So I keep a Cat Gallery calendar at work to keep me company there too. Every day a different page, with only weekends combined and I am not there to see weekends anyway (I sometimes leave the weekend up for part of Monday. It doesn't work; I still know it's Monday.) The photography is cute, beautiful, seasonal, and always colorful. Each day has a short description or quote (which often finds its way to Facebook).

My one dislike is that the photographer and/or description writer does not always know what they are portraying in the picture. If you know cats and cat body language, the cat described as "bold" is more likely startled by something done by the photographer or handler at the time of the shoot.

Everyone loves this calendar - bought for my 92-year-old mom who only since moving in with me and my critters has become something of a cat person. She loves, loves, loves this calendar. She's had a couple of hospital/rehab stays, and we always take this calendar with us. Cheers her, the room, the nurses, etc. And the photography is wonderful - high quality photos, printing. Can't believe the variety of kitties, how superbly their expressions and attitudes are captured in the images. And all for $10 - amazing. (I actually paid less last year because I think we bought it in Feb.) We look forward every day to discovering the next picture. Best $10 purchase we made all year - buy it, you'll love it, even if you're not a cat fanatic. It's a happy maker.
