Cat Jigsaw Puzzles are VERY popular! So popular in fact that one of our Jigsaw Puzzle Connections Group Member has 3800 of them - that's right! ALL cat images. We have a cute story about her to share here plus numerous cat jigsaw puzzles images and a few reviews of cat puzzle we assembled! All that and more below! |

![]() Jolanda Schnieder has been a member of the Jigsaw Puzzle Connections Facebook Group since February 2015. Since I am attracted to cats and puzzles, I noticed that all her jigsaw puzzles were always cats. I was intrigued by that AND that she has shown there are 1000's of cat puzzle images out there - she's proof of that! Jolanda at her second home in Maderia, out in the Atlantic Ocean. ![]() |
Jolanda lives in Switzerland in a small town called Baden, not far from Zurich. After 37 years as a librarian Jolanda retired in 2013. She has been with her partner Benno for 42 years and has no children. In 2014 they bought their second home on the island Maderia, out in the Atlantic Ocean.
Jolanda started puzzling in her teens. She resumed puzzling in the late 1990's and could afford to buy every puzzle she wanted. Jolanda soon realized that there were so many puzzles to choose from so she narrowed her puzzling down to Cat motifs, and her collection is 95% cat puzzles. She has approximately 3800, 200 of them not put together.
Jolanda does about 100,000 pieces per year. On average 500-700 pieces per puzzle. Her average time for a 1000 piece is 6.5 hours. But as Jolanda says it's a "wide range" of time to complete a puzzle.
The following 2 images are Cat, Missy in my puzzling room in Switzerland and Cat, Tigerin in my home in Switzerland (she was our dearest cat of all our cats, lived 1992-2010).
