Thank you for your question. I have bought these bookmarks and postcards at a book store called “Libreria Acqua Alta” in Venice. They all have typical Venetian characters such as doges, gondoliers and jesters. As far as I know there are three Italian artists, who draw them. You can find such cat art everywhere in Venice and maybe at some gift shops in other parts of Italy.
I found those postcards in a souvenir-shop in Siena. I love this cards with dogs and cats in costumes. I also would like to know who the painter is. But there is no information about it in the net, which is kind of strange.
But nevertheless thank you very much for your research!

You could also have a look at Ebay. I have found this one for you and it is from the same company.
