KOEKKOEK is back. After immortalizing Europe’s most flying cats nine years ago, he decided that 2026 should start with another dose of feline stunts. The new Jumping Cats 2026 is a 13-page calendar printed on photographic paper in which each month a feline suspended in midair is captured at the exact moment it realizes it has become the protagonist of an action it had not planned in the slightest. The cats wriggle amid the chaos of kitchens, living rooms, and garages, which they evidently consider obstacle courses rather than safety hazards. Each photograph shows the natural relationship between the animal and its environment, highlighting the cat’s ability to turn common spaces into dynamic little worlds.

Jumping Cats 2026 is for those who have a passion for cats and art, and for those who are fascinated by the idea of seeing someone defy gravity without any real justification. The artist uses the surrounding environment to communicate as much as the subject, striking a balance between irony and direct observation. This calendar serves as a monthly reminder that life can be unpredictable and illogical, much like a cat deciding to land on its owner’s face at the most unexpected moment.

P.S. All cats involved are doing splendidly and were treated with more care and pampering than any self-respecting feline would ever publicly admit.
