#tbt one of my favorite pictures of my best friends. I'm not a creepy crawler- I promise I have human friends- but these guys are always there to love and listen without judgement. They're so intuitive to when I need a purr or snuggle. They're simply the best! #nationalbestfriendday #billy👢 #walker🌂 #exoticshorthair #persian #cutepetclub #catstagram #catsofinstagram #powerofpurr

THE POWER OF PURR! The Power of Purr was one of the greatest gifts that Blackie the Cat gave me. Bosko is still little and developing his Purr Skills. #powerofpurr #blackiethecatshow #blackiebaseman #garybaseman #baseman I created these paintings for our art installation, THE PURR ROOM. We have a few signed and numbered prints in in our online store at garybaseman.com if you would like the reminder of the importance of meditation.

THE ASCENSION! Looking back at this photo of the Blackie the Cat Plush Macy’s Balloon seems now like a precursor to my Ascension of Blackie the Cat painting. We just released an new print edition of this Ascension of Blackie the Cat painting since the original sold out so quickly. #macysparade #macysballoon #macysthanksgiving #blackiethecatshow #powerofpurr #balackiebaseman #garybaseman #baseman This new more affordable print is 20 x 16 in, edition of 200, signed and numbered.

BLACKIE THE CAT Plush was first released a year ago! I was so thrilled to offer this 1st limited edition plush version of my best pal, Blackie the Cat. They came with a signed and numbered Certificate of Adoption, an 8x10 Glamour Photo of Blackie the Cat with an original Paw Print and an Italian Cotton Black Dust Bag. #blackiethecat #theblackiethecatshow #blackiethecatshow #meow #powerofpurr #purrpower #garybaseman #baseman These Blackie the Cats sold out. And just like my real best pal Blackie the Cat who I miss more than anything, these art pieces offered the Power of Purr, the Strength of the Mighty Paw, the Wisdom of the Ages, the Love of Fluff, and the Bloody Bite of the nose! I look forward to release a new version in the future to continue his memory. https://www.instagram.com/p/CHvaCnTHo5w/?igshid=vyfnavqfub8c

Could never imagine doing this NOW! One year ago, we head the PURR ROOM in LONDON. A giant cue of people, waiting to go lay in a Faux Fur Cat Bed, and experience the Power of PURR, with Blackie the Cat true triple Purr. #powerofpurr #purrroom #cue #london #theblackiethecatshow #blackiethecatshow #garybaseman #baseman The world has turned upside down. Now we need to stand 6 ft apart, and dare not touch anything, let alone lay in a Cat Bed. I look forward when this Virus Crisis shall pass, and we can hug. May the Power of Purr be with you.

Thanks everyone for your continued love and support. This is such a difficult time and deciding how much I should post about Blackie’s health, since it’s been such a roller coaster. The short version is after a million tests, we have new meds for him, and the goal is that they will heal him, hoping he doesn’t throw them up. #theblackiethecatshow #blackiethecatshow #blackiethecat #meow #powerofpurr Normally I would keep it private, but since we have “The Blackie the Cat Show” and he has been such an inspiration and collaborator in my art, I feel I should let people know. Blackie the Cat and I really appreciate your love, support and purrs, even if we can’t respond back to you individually. May the Power of Purr be with you. https://www.instagram.com/p/B84LMwXHaJE/?igshid=kmk538ubx3yx

Thank you all for the positive energy and love. Blackie the Cat is a little better but as you can see we put The Blackie the Cat show on Hiatus. We will know more as we have another appointment next week. #theblackiethecatshow #blackiethecatshow #meow #powerofpurr #garybaseman #baseman Happy Caturday! https://www.instagram.com/p/B8CH0jKnCcQ/?igshid=wqsl2vpbo25f
