I've been collecting all things cat for fifty years, but stepped it up when we lived in San Diego and had a house with cat paths overhead that went 140 feet through closets, down the hallway (with red NEON) to different rooms. The house was painted purple; the interior painted pink, purple, blue, chartreuse, yellow, red.....We hosted fund-raisers for Humane Organizations from 1988 to 2010. Then we packed up and moved to Virginia! With our 8 cats and pour Chihuahua Sadie in a 28 year old RV. Got to see a LOT Of New Mexico as the RV's AC, radiator, generator, etc. decided a three week stay in a town of 2400 was just what we needed!

Besides the poor cat and dog wiring goggles (note the restraining hand on the dog!); I've hung an image of a cat waiting for entry to the TARDIS, an abduction by aliens about to happen and others you can't see well. All have cats in them.
Space Cat
Cover taken from a 1950s children's book - Space Cat Meets Mars with a 1940s(?) era photo of a cat and dog wearing goggles. Maybe the gas masks were never made...
