I needed something to help prop up my chicken wire screen (Santa Ana winds...) so I uncovered my 15 yr old cats - they were totally under brush.

See them down there? The large one must weigh 35#. I am sure between the cast and the table in the back the screen will at least not hit the ground during the winds.

Thanks! The yellow one looks a bit anemic here, but a bit better in person LOL

You all are funny! I bought them at least 15 yrs ago at a place that sells fountains. No feeding, no litter boxes, no shredding of furniture...

I wish I could tell you where to find one Muddy!

Thanks again for the positive comments. Everyone here wants to know if I will be selling them at the holiday boutique - hilarious! Toots - thanks for the links. The etsy one is a good price, but the shipping doubles it + she has only one left. I like the semi-realistic looking ones...

You painted the yellowish and the black and white cat YOURSELF? Are you kidding? I thought you painted two white and the other two colored ones, you bought that way. Those are great, you did a fantastic job! I have two live kitties and I just love them. Where did you buy them? Adorable!!! Love them! I want two! Do you have any furbabies of your own?
