Oh dear Goddess, I remember those! I'm pretty sure they had some kitty ones too. Not sure where I used to see these ads, but I'm thinking they might have been in my mother's Women's Day or Family Circle. Funny how you see things every day for such a long time and then completely forget about them.
I remember these, too, and I think you're right about there being kitty ones. We didn't own any of the paintings, but I know I saw them in magazine ads.
My grandparents had a few of these. Try sleeping with THESE guys staring at you all night long; I had to take 'em down whenever we'd visit and hide them in the closet. Or better yet another bedroom entirely's closet.
I have a pair of fine art paintings (mounted on cork but with random fake brushstrokes over the whole thing, even the printed-on frame) of groups of huge-eyed cats by Miree. First I got the ballet-dancing bug-eyed cats, which impressed me so much I redrew it in black and white, like an engraving. Years later, I showed it to someone who went away and came back with a companion piece showing a cat orchestra, also signed by Miree.
Damn, I should find those and get them back on the wall. Maybe about a foot off the ground, where our cat can enjoy them.
