The Creole Cat by local artist

Purrfect Storm |

Blue Minou |
Creole Cat, often referred to
as "Minou", was born in the city of New Orleans under the awning of
Café du Monde on Mardi Gras. As any true New Orleanian, she was
weaned from mama’s milk to café au lait when she was just a petit
minou.
Creole Cat possesses a very adventurous spirit thanks to her maw-maw
and paw-paw who took her on daily excursions throughout the Crescent
City. They visited the shops on Magazine Street and in the Vieux
Carré, and toured the historic New Orleans homes and cemeteries.
Although Creole Cat and her family have occasionally been known to
travel down the Bayou to a fais-do-do or to a Cajun festival, they
are really city cats at heart.
Of course cher, it goes without saying that Creole Cat is very proud
of her Creole heritage. She boasts of her European descent and being
a cat of color—she has the best of both worlds. She describes
herself as being as culturally diverse as a rich, spicy gumbo. She
has never missed a Mardi Gras or a Jazz Fest and she just can’t
resist joining in to "second-line" in any passing parade. And in the
Crescent City, there are parades to celebrate almost everything.
Now, Creole Cat invites you to join her on some of her city
excursions ...............
About the artist:
Creole Cat was created in the mind and imagination of Chamain
O’Mahony in the year 2000. Chamain, like Creole Cat, was born and
raised in the Greater New Orleans area and never misses a Mardi Gras
or a Jazz Fest.
Chamain received her B.S. from Tulane University, her M.B.A. from
Emory University, and her CPA from Louisiana. Although Chamain is
employed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which requires frequent
trips to our nation’s capital, she and her husband Sean reside in
New Orleans. In case you are wondering, yes, Chamain and Sean are
animal lovers. They own two cats named Sideways and Little One. But,
as any local knows, no matter what you name your kitties, you’ll
always end up calling them "Minou".
