Cat Wall Art and Cat Paintings by Caya Crum

Little Mama is the most tender of Caya Crum's cat paintings — a grandmother cat, a cottage core cat, the one that makes people think of a specific cat they have loved. The folded paws are deliberate: a cat only loafs where she feels safe, and Little Mama is entirely at home. She has been the most-requested Mother's Day print across hundreds of Texas shows.

Where It'll Work in Your House

Wall art for living room is where she does the most work, especially in a room with warm or traditional furniture, where the headscarf and florals read as cottagecore rather than kitsch. As entryway art she greets people, which is her job in any case. And she is a natural on a gallery wall of family portraits — build a gallery wall around her.

Little Mama runs the household; everyone agrees. More from Caya Crum, more matriarchs in cat wall art, more florals in grandmillennial wall art. A reliable choice in gifts for mom, baby gifts and housewarming gifts.

Product FAQ

Who is Little Mama in Caya Crum's cat print?

A tuxedo cat in a floral headscarf with her paws folded — a matriarch who has lived a long, dignified life and still holds opinions about everything in the house. She is the most tender painting in the cat series, and the one people most often say reminds them of a particular cat they loved.

What does it mean when a tuxedo cat tucks her paws the way Little Mama does?

A cat folding her front paws under her chest is loafing, and cats only loaf when they feel safe — the position takes a moment to get out of, so no cat adopts it near a threat. Caya Crum posed her that way deliberately. It is the visual shorthand for a cat who is entirely at home.

Is Little Mama better as wall art for living room or as entryway art?

Wall art for living room is where she does the most work, particularly in a room with warm or traditional furniture, where the headscarf and florals read as cottagecore rather than as kitsch. As entryway art she greets people, which is her job in any case. She is also a natural on a gallery wall of family portraits.

Who is the Little Mama print a good gift for?

Cat moms, grandmothers, and anyone who has lost a tuxedo cat and would like her back on the wall. She has been the most-requested Mother's Day print across hundreds of Texas shows.

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 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.
