Hi. I'm Margaret, and  Distinctive Cat Jewelry is my shop of cat jewelry. My fondness for the feline population began about twelve years ago, when Squirt, my tortoise shell calico cat, adopted me. We've been fast companions ever since; she lets me feed her, clean her litter box and pay the mortgage. Being especially independent, she sits on my lap when she wants to. She's an excellent alarm clock!

A little about myself: I have had a lot of different jobs (from secretarial to bookkeeping and on to innkeeping) and I've lived in  Iowa, California, and Oregon. I have many  interests, too. I love to golf in clement weather. I enjoy anything crafty, and cats are often my theme in  crocheting, scrapbooking, and altering books (I like to combine those last two and make scrapbooks in altered books!). One of my most favorite pleasures is watercolor painting. A few of my favorite subjects are florals and CATS (surprise). I hope you'll enjoy seeing my cat paintings here and there throughout the shop.
