This is kinda cool;
We all know Deftones used 'the' screaming (actually it's yawning) on one of their first t-shirts and on a bored promo cd:

A lot of people been looking for better pics of the cat to get it tattooed and stuff like that. Now a few years ago (4 or something) I was in some crappy woolworth's kinda store here in holland where the sold all kinds of greeting cards. THE deftones cat appeard to be one of the cards. Just the cat. It is the EXACT same photo Deftones been using for years so it's obviously a stockphoto. Of course I bought 2 of those cards and for fellow fans I created a wallpaper by putting the deftones logo over it. You probably know it:

But what the most fun part of this all is this walllpaper got spread all over the internet and now this image is being used in all kinds of merchandise. I can tell its my image use of how the logo is places over the cat and how it has an outline. Check ebay:

Bags, earrings, clocks and an USB stick...... I might as well make an even cooler wallpaper to see it appear online everywhere.
Just wanted to share:
I'll keep it exclusive. ;-)
Why not share the postcard as well? It's not like you took the picture.

Jeez chill out bro. I will post it. No worries. I don't tell this to bitch or whatever you think I am. And you were right. Deftones have used it on that Adrenaline promo poster. I think it's kinda weird/funny or what the hell you will call it, to be in a store in like 2004 0r 2005 and bump into this card with the EXCACT same picture which dates from 1995/1996..... It's also kinda fun people use my high-res scan/wallpaper to make money of deftones. That's the reason I posted this.
But, I will look for it now.
I was really getting into this forum again but all my bad memories starting to come back. There are exceptions of course.
To prove you wrong..

And, of course it's been used without text but nobody seems to own that poster and be able to scan a good version.....

a few of you should be ashamed guys. Sly comes and shares some photos and knowledge about them and you start bitching for whatever reason you find apropiate. I wonder if there'll come a day when internet isn't so ungrateful anymore.

If you look at the back of the card that Sly posted you can make out the name H. Armstrong Roberts
Searched 'Armstrong Roberts Cat' on google.

Not quite the right font, but you get the idea....

Wh-What? Isn't this the screaming cat's forum? All I see is people takling and talking about somebody called deaftones.
Yeah Sly, don't mind the few people in here who love bragging about their big internet ego.
Many others know who you are and the relevance of your info, so let's hope you'll stick around nonetheless and won't mind too much about whiny asses...
And cheers for all that cat info... :)
All thanx, I think it's already an interesting topic. Thanx deftsteve!
What Tarkil said!

I wouldn't have posted shit. Sly's fucking old skool man. dutchdeftones and shit.
Thanks for sharing though Sly. Good story.
Thanx guys. Appreciated. You know about Dutchdeftones!!!

Yeah man, I used to visit dutchdeftones back in the day. Fucking years ago I guess actually. One of the best.
:-)
man that was hard work reading thru all these posts, think everyone collectively reached the conclusion in the end.
definetely some kool info and pics, always loved that image, nice one!!!
oh and by the way, the reason i have so few posts myself is because ive changed names about 4 times on here to avoid the haters. Deftones is love peeps and slyartwork is sharing it. peace
It's sad to think that cat has been dead for some time now :(
never thought of that. maybe he got cryogenically frozen so he could come back in 20 yrs to see how famous his picture got. i mean he must have made a bit of cash, unless he blew it on catnip
