Tattooed Kitty with a Cheese Tattoo — Maximalist Cat Art by Caya Crum
Caya painted a grey tabby sitting up straight on a cobalt-blue ground, surrounded by palms and pink blossoms, and then inked her: a Kitty banner across the chest, a Cheese banner lower down, cherries, a heart, the kind of flash-sheet scatter you would get at a walk-in shop at two in the morning. A pearl collar finishes it. The expression is the best part, the pink nose and the flat, unbothered eyes of a cat who has seen your forearm and is not impressed.
It is maximalist wall art for people who already own too many things and want one more. Hang it near Rosie or Colt 45 for a cat wall with a record. More in Cat Wall Art and Caya Crum Art.

Fine Art Prints Made in Fort Worth, Texas
Since 1996, Crum Art has created original art, paintings, and fine art prints in Fort Worth, showing and selling work at hundreds of art shows across Texas.
Crum Art brings a distinct Texas and Western point of view to specific, meaningful images: pop art color, cowboys, cowgirls, animals, kittens, vintage signs, bluebonnets, humor, grit, and Lone Star nostalgia.
These are not mass-produced prints or generic wall decor. They are artist-made pieces with a Texas point of view, created for homes that feel collected, lived-in, and full of meaning.
Each print is produced to gallery-quality fine art standards, made to order in our Fort Worth studio, carefully inspected, and hand-signed by the artist. Every piece passes through our hands before it becomes part of your home.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a giclee art print?
A giclee (zhee-CLAY) is the museum standard for fine-art printing — archival pigment inks laid down on fine-art paper, built to hold color for generations. Every Crum Art print is made to the highest standard of giclee: 100% cotton rag paper and archival pigment inks, printed to order and hand-signed by the artist before it leaves our Fort Worth studio. It’s the same process museums and galleries use to reproduce original artwork.
What is the difference between a giclee print and a regular art print?
Ordinary posters use standard inks on standard paper and fade within a few years. A giclee uses archival pigment inks on cotton rag paper, built to resist fading for generations. If you’re hanging it somewhere you’ll see it every day, the difference shows — first in the color depth, later in how long it keeps it.
Will this look like an original painting or a print?
Crum Art takes the scanning and photographing of original paintings seriously — we work to capture the texture of the canvas or paper the original was created on, so that texture shows through in the print. Combined with the cotton rag paper’s own subtle surface and the hand-signing, many customers say they cannot tell if it’s an original or a print. That’s intentional. These are not flat digital reproductions — they are fine art prints that carry the soul of the original.
What sizes does this print come in?
Our fine art prints are available in standard rectangle and square sizes. Rectangles: 8x10 unframed matted to 11x14, 11x14 unframed, 16x20, 18x24, and 24x36. Squares: 8x8 unframed matted to 12x12, 12x12 unframed, 16x16, 20x20, and 24x24. Each size ships ready to frame, making it easy to find the right fit for your wall.
How do I frame a print?
Every size in our lineup matches a standard frame, so your print drops straight into an off-the-shelf frame from any craft store — no custom framing required. For a gallery look, add a mat and go one frame size up. Prints ship flat or carefully rolled; a rolled print flattens easily under a few books overnight.
How should I preserve an art print?
Ours do most of the work for you — archival pigment inks on cotton rag are made to last generations. To help them along: frame under glass or acrylic, keep out of direct sunlight and away from heavy humidity, and handle by the edges before framing. That’s it.
How do I make a gallery wall with art prints?
Start with an anchor piece and build outward — many Crum Art prints are part of series designed to group together as a statement gallery wall, or hang individually as standalone pieces. Since every image is sized to fit standard frames, mixing sizes is easy: lay the arrangement out on the floor first, keep about two to three inches between frames, and center the whole grouping at eye level.
What rooms do these prints work in?
Everywhere a home wants personality — living rooms, entryways, kitchens, offices, and nurseries. They’re strong anchor pieces for western, ranch-style, and Lone Star-inspired interiors, and just as at home in collected, colorful rooms of any style. A good rule for hanging: center your art 57 to 60 inches from the floor — museum height — and go a touch higher above furniture.

Product FAQ
What tattoos does the cat have?
A blue banner that says Kitty, a red one that says Cheese, cherries, a heart, and a scatter of flash-sheet filler across the chest. She also wears a pearl collar with a gold chain, because of course she does.
What breed is the cat?
A grey tabby with a pink nose and a hard stare. Not a specific breed, just a specific personality.
Where does the tattooed cat print hang?
Anywhere a cat person lives. A gallery wall, a bedroom, a bathroom, or an apartment where the real cat gets jealous.
Is this the same as the Cottage Core Kitty print?
It is the same painting. This listing is the one to buy from; the older page is being retired.
