Cats postcards

A brief introduction to the popularity of animal-themed postcards.

Why do we love animal postcards so much?

In the world of postcards, one of the most charming and timeless themes is animals. From classic illustrations of cats and dogs to exotic parrots or majestic deer, fauna-themed cards have consistently enjoyed popularity among collectors and postcrossing enthusiasts. Why do animal motifs attract so much attention? The answer lies not only in their aesthetics but also in the emotions they evoke.

The fascination with cats in culture, art, and… postcrossing.

For thousands of years, cats have accompanied humans not only as household pets but also as sources of inspiration in culture and art. Their mysterious nature, independence, and elegance make them a particularly captivating subject for painters, writers, photographers… and postcrossing enthusiasts!

In ancient Egypt, cats were considered sacred animals, depicted in art as symbols of guardianship and domestic warmth. Their presence in literature is also strong—from the fairy tale "Puss in Boots" to the ironic Behemoth from "The Master and Margarita." In painting and artistic graphics, cats appear continuously, and in the 20th and 21st centuries, their images have also become elements of mass culture and popular illustrations.

It is in this latter form that cats have won the hearts of postcrossing users worldwide. Postcards with cat motifs are among the most sought-after and collected. Cute, funny, elegant, or mysterious—cats on cards not only attract attention but also evoke emotions. Often, they are the reason why a delivery from a distant corner of the world triggers a wide smile on the recipient's face.

For many postcrossers, postcards with cats are not only a hobby but also a way to express their personality and connect with other lovers of these extraordinary animals. After all, it's hard to find a better ambassador of tenderness, independence, and domestic warmth than a cat on a postcard.

Introduction to the category of cat postcards in our store.

There wouldn't really be Postallove if not for cats :). At the time the store was created, I had the pleasure of living with a cat named Leon. Since I've always loved postcards, and when I dove headfirst into Postcrossing, I was searching for cards specifically with cats :). There weren't many back then, so I decided to create them! And that's how—boom—a postcard store was born, where cats have reigned supreme from the very beginning! And they continue to do so to this day.

What are cat postcards?

Cat postcards are a unique category of postcards that combines charming aesthetics, artistic expression, and a strong emotional impact. Their main theme, of course, is cats—depicted in various styles, contexts, and graphic techniques. They can be realistic illustrations, playful drawings, retro photographs, graphics inspired by Japanese art, modern collages, or even comic-style captures of daily "cat life."

Cats have a unique ability to evoke affection in almost everyone. Their presence on a postcard makes it warm, friendly, and often amusing.

Artists portray cats in many ways: minimalistically, with a vintage touch, realistically, or fancifully. This variety allows every cat lover to find a design that matches their taste.

It's one of the most exchanged and collected categories among participants of the Postcrossing.com project. Many profiles include requests for "cat postcards," making them a great choice for a card to send to a stranger halfway around the world.

A cat postcard can lift the mood, bring a smile, and create a small moment of relaxation for the recipient. It often accompanies a personal message full of affection—just like a purring session with a cup of tea.

If you want to add a unique character to your correspondence, cat postcards from Postallove are an excellent choice. Visit our store and discover the richness of feline motifs waiting to become part of your collection or reach the mailbox of someone special.

Diversity of styles—from art to humor.

Cat cards captivate with stylistic richness—every admirer of feline grace will find something here. In Postallove's collections, you can find:

  • Artistic postcards—subtle watercolors and illustrations created by contemporary artists that capture the unique character of cats with sensitivity and elegance.
  • Realistic postcards—faithfully rendered photographic portraits of cats, perfect for people who appreciate nature and details.
  • Humorous postcards—funny scenes and playful compositions that bring a smile and make every delivery a joy.
  • Retro postcards—Old cat postcards were immensely popular in the early 20th century, being one of the favorite motifs among collectors and animal lovers. In the interwar period, cats were often portrayed in humorous, charming poses and in the context of various daily life scenes. Our store offers many adorable reprints.

Such diversity makes cat cards an excellent choice not only for collectors but also as a form of expressing mood, emotions, or a sense of humor in postcrossing.

Popularity of cat postcards among animal lovers.

Cat-themed postcards have been enjoying unwavering popularity for years—both among collectors and postcrossing participants. These charming cards combine two passions: a love for animals and the joy of traditional correspondence. Feline images delight with their diversity—from artistic illustrations and realistic photographs to humorous, cartoon scenes with purring protagonists.

For many animal lovers, a cat postcard is more than just a picture—it's a form of expressing emotions, personality, and preferences. These cards are also incredibly versatile—they're great as souvenirs, gifts, or exchange elements in postcrossing, where they often become the favorite category for recipients worldwide.

Why choose cat postcards?

Unique designs and artistic value of postcards.

In the era of emails and notifications, a postcard becomes more than just a means of communication. This small form carries an enormous power of expression, as evidenced by the works of artists like Isa Ochoa, Katarzyna Kalder, and Marianna Sztyma. Their creations prove that a postcard can be not only a beautiful gesture but also a small work of art.

Isa Ochoa—delicacy and charm of detail.

French artist Isa Ochoa creates illustrations that transport the viewer to another world—subtle, melancholic, filled with silence and tenderness—from the first glance. Her postcards, available in the Postallove collection, are characterized by attention to detail, warm color palettes, and narrative sense. Isa Ochoa's works often depict cats in beautiful, decorative interiors and amidst nature.

This atmospheric style—balancing between realism and dream poetry—makes each postcard like a small film frame that we narrate ourselves.

Katarzyna Kalder—simplicity and joy in Terakoty style.

Katarzyna Kalder, creating under the Terakoty brand, presents a completely different artistic sensitivity. Her postcards are full of simplicity, bold shapes, and joyful, often surprising characters. They are characterized by lightness of form and a great sense of humor—sometimes ironic, sometimes warm, always sincere.

When asked about her inspirations, the artist says:
"The truth is, cats themselves are the greatest inspiration. They are a source of joy, good humor, and happiness for me. They provoke laughter and make the day more colorful. Drawing them gives me lots of joy and positive emotions, just like petting a cat! My works are aimed at people who, like me, don't take their pets too seriously and mainly see their playful and fun nature."

It is this ease and sense of humor that have earned Terakoty postcards a loyal fan base.

Marianna Sztyma—poetry of a cat's gaze.

One exceptional example of an artistic approach to the subject is the "Cat Breeds" postcard series by Marianna Sztyma, available on Postallove.pl. This collection is a real treat for cat lovers and illustration enthusiasts—subtle linework, muted colors, and the artist's distinct style make each card a small work of art. Here, you'll find charming depictions of the Norwegian Forest Cat, Ragdoll, or Sphynx—each breed portrayed with tenderness and attention to detail.

Art within A6 format.

The works of Isa Ochoa, Kasia Kalder, and Marianna Sztyma show that postcards are not just gadgets for collectors. They are an intimate form of expression—accessible, beautiful, and full of meaning. Each artist understands beauty differently: as nostalgia, as joy from simplicity, or as quiet observation of the world.

In these artists' hands, a postcard becomes more than a message bearer. It is an artifact—testament to human imagination, sensitivity, and the need to share emotion.

Among our cat-themed postcards, you will also find a playful series of cards with cat quotes. Charming illustrations combined with quotes about cats are perfect choices for every kitty lover.
