The New Yorker Cats Notebook Set
Two notebooks. One for thoughts, one for everything else.
The New Yorker has been producing some of the sharpest, most affectionate cat cartoons in print for over a century, and this set brings that tradition to your desk. The Cats Notebook Set pairs two 20 × 15 cm notepads in a single set: one lined for writing, one blank for sketching, doodling, or whatever doesn't quite fit into words.
The format is deliberate. A lined pad suits the person who writes lists, drafts letters, or keeps notes on paper because screens feel wrong for certain kinds of thinking. The blank pad is for everyone else - the margin-fillers, the quick sketch-makers, the people who think better with a pen moving freely across a page. Together they cover most of what a notebook needs to do.
The covers draw on The New Yorker's deep archive of cat illustration, a genre the magazine has elevated into something genuinely witty and occasionally profound. These aren't generic cat graphics. They carry the particular flavour of New Yorker humour: dry, observational, and fond of cats in a way that never tips into sentimentality.
At 20 × 15 cm, the notepads are large enough to be useful and compact enough to slip into a tote bag or sit neatly on a nightstand. The size works equally well at a desk or on the go.
This set makes an easy, considered gift for cat lovers, stationery enthusiasts, or anyone who still reaches for paper first. It also works well as a treat for yourself — the kind of small, well-made thing that makes daily routines feel slightly more considered.
What's included:
One lined notepad, 20 × 15 cm. One blank notepad, 20 × 15 cm. Both feature New Yorker cat cartoon artwork on the cover.
