This all began when we started taking the cats on daily walks (yes, like dogs). They made it clear that exploring old farm machinery was something they really look forward to. To document this I began doing little mini-photo shoots. It can be challenging to get a good shot when they might be pulling in opposite directions but I will let you be the judge. Combining cats with the agricultural community seemed like an audience worth speaking to.
The original idea was to produce a calendar but has expanded to the current collection of puzzles, mugs and clothing to give you more options. The products come from a fulfillment company with a network of providers, thus items like the hoodies and puzzles come from different places. I have personal experience with the basic t-shirts and mugs, two different suppliers, giving me confidence in the quality they offer. I hope you will like them and choose to make a purchase.
This website is a work in progress. The plan is to add more about both the cats and the machines, stories about other cats, and some videos. If all goes well twelve new images featuring the Tractor Cats exploring different machines will be released each summer/fall. This is to allow the calendars for the following year to be available during “calendar season.” Comments, questions and requests are welcome.
