Cat Family Christmas by P. Buckley Moss

Content & Subject

Cat Family Christmas is a rare limited edition giclée print by P. Buckley Moss, part of her beloved Christmas Series. In this heartwarming holiday artwork, a graceful family of black cats gathers around a beautifully decorated Christmas tree. The tree itself is adorned with bright, cheerful ornaments in shades of red, blue, green, yellow, and pink, topped with a glowing golden star that radiates warmth and joy.

The cats — playful, curious, and affectionate — embody both the coziness of family togetherness and the mischievous fun of the holiday season. Some lounge peacefully at the base of the tree, while others climb or perch among the branches, reminding every cat lover of the universal truth: Christmas trees are irresistible to curious felines.

Style & Technique

This print demonstrates Moss’s ability to blend folk-art simplicity with whimsical storytelling. The Christmas tree is rendered in delicate, sweeping lines that suggest fragility and grace, while the ornaments pop in bright, playful bursts of color. The cats, in deep silhouettes of black, contrast dramatically with the festive tree, giving the piece both elegance and humor.

Unlike some of Moss’s more pastoral and traditional works, Cat Family Christmas leans into playful modernity while retaining her unmistakable charm. The giclée technique allows for crisp detail and vibrant hues, capturing the holiday spirit in a way that feels timeless and joyful.

Mood & Inspiration

The mood of Cat Family Christmas is festive, cozy, and gently humorous. Moss captures not only the beauty of holiday tradition but also the quirks of family life with pets. The black cats are symbols of companionship and personality — loyal, curious, sometimes mischievous, always beloved.

This piece resonates especially with cat owners, who know well the holiday ritual of cats “helping” with the tree. At the same time, it speaks to Moss’s broader artistic vision: celebrating the bonds of family, the joys of seasonal traditions, and the way even the simplest of moments can become extraordinary through art.
