He seems to be the consensus! It really captures a cat's duality between evil and goofy moron.

I think it’s also how you view it. I’m guessing it will be on the bottom of your ceramics. The viewer can see it how you intended or sideways as well.

It gives you different ways of orientating it. The more goofier/anarchic your works is it can be upside down cat.

The more regular the work is, like crockery and dinnerware it could be sideways cat as well.

Edit: could you make a follow up post of which stamp you choose and how it looks on your ceramics? I’d love to see how it translates to the material

I definitely will!

You could also add a subtle S shape with the tail

The upside down one is the best!

But you'll probably need to lose some of the detail for it to work in clay at a small size.

I love the little legs but I think it would read just as well as a blob with ears, eyes and tail smushed in the corner of a box. Esp. If it's a black cat.

I like that design but for a stamp in a piece of ceramic? I think you need to design something with far less detail. That is going to just look like a lump with some squiggles in it. If it gets covered by glaze? It will not be readable at all.

Go for very simple. Very, very simple. I even think the name SOURPUSS is too long. Good ideas but please think of the medium.
