HISTORY
Jigsaw puzzles experienced a major resurgence in popularity during the 1980s and 1990s as home entertainment shifted toward relaxing, screen-free hobbies. Companies like Ceaco became well known for producing themed puzzles featuring animals, fine art reproductions, scenic landscapes, and whimsical lifestyle imagery. Long panoramic “Long Shot” puzzles became especially popular for coffee table display and framing after completion. Cat imagery has remained one of the most collected puzzle themes due to its crossover appeal with gift markets, hobbyists, and décor collectors.
