No cat has ever consented to a bath, let alone being born from the sea. This Funny Cat ceramic art tile reimagines one of the most graceful paintings in history with a soaking-wet, utterly furious calico standing on the famous scallop shell — fur plastered down, ears flat, radiating pure betrayal while the wind-gods blow and an attendant rushes in with a towel.
The piece celebrates the collision of Renaissance beauty and feline outrage. Delicate Early Renaissance style, a soft seafoam palette, and graceful composition give it real gallery elegance — while the drenched, scandalized cat makes it laugh-out-loud. Every cat owner knows that exact wet-cat face.
This piece pairs with the deadpan side of our Cat-astrophes in Art History collection, Volume Two. It joins our Whistler's Mother tile through our Buy Together bundle, perfect for a two-tile display of unbothered art-history icons.
The palette of seafoam green, pale blue, cream, rose, and gold works beautifully in bathrooms, powder rooms, bedrooms, studios, and any space that appreciates art with humor. It pairs naturally with classic art prints, coastal decor, vintage furniture, and traditional interiors with a sense of humor.
Designed and crafted in our Pacific Northwest studio, each tile is made to last. Our premium printing process heat-infuses the rich artwork directly into the ceramic surface. Colors stay vivid for decades. The image is part of the tile itself, not a sticker or applied layer.
Optional add-ons include the easel tile stand for shelf or desk display, the tile wall hanger for vertical mounting, cork backing to protect surfaces, or our display frame option for gallery-style presentation.
4 inch tile measures 4.25 inches.
6 inch tile measures 6.00 inches.
8 inch tile measures 7 7/8 inches.
Optional display upgrades: Add a tabletop easel stand, cork backing, or wall hanger for easy display. Or elevate your order with our custom matte-finish frame — designed in-studio to fit our decorative tiles perfectly, with both a built-in stand for tabletop display and a slot for wall hanging. Crafted from durable PETG that won’t warp, crack, or split, it transforms your tile into ready-to-display wall art and beautiful home wall decor.
About the Artwork
• Each tile features a high-resolution artwork permanently printed onto the porcelain surface. Colors may appear slightly different depending on screen brightness and room lighting, though under normal room lighting the tones appear balanced and natural.
• Some designs may appear sculpted, hand-painted, stained glass, or mosaic in the artwork. These effects are part of the printed image and are not raised, textured, or assembled from separate pieces.
• Artwork created using AI tools guided by my original prompts and design direction. Designed for indoor wall, shelf, and table display. For any other use, please consult a qualified tile installer."
A note on installation: These are decorative art tiles — the design is sublimated onto a coating on the surface, not fired into the ceramic body the way installation tile is. They shine indoors on a wall hanger, easel, or display frame, or anywhere you’d display art. If you decide to use them in an installation, please consult a qualified tile installer, and keep them away from outdoor weather and direct sun, and from wet and high-heat areas such as showers, sinks, and stoves. Care is simple: a soft cloth with mild soap — abrasive scrubbers and harsh chemicals (including magic erasers) can dull the surface over time.
