Susan, the artist is Louis Wain (you can actually see his signature in the bottom left corner). He was a Victorian artist who was well known for his pictures of cats, but ended his life in an asylum for the indigent insane. It is thought that his cat pictures became more spiky and manic looking and eventually developed into geometric patterns as his condition progressed, but there is some dispute about this as his pictures weren't dated so no one can be certain of the order in which they were painted.

Colleen, thank you!, interesting life he had. Here’s another one I saved

OMG...is that photo-shopped, or is it real? It is so cute...sweet little face.

So cute I had to share.
