“Beautiful color wood cat”

I have to say that this is just most beautiful carved wood cat figure. The color variation of wood is so good. This is one purchase I will never regret.

“Pretty kitty!”

This is a happy gift for my husband... he loves it! It works ergonomically well as a back scratcher, and it looks like our kitty! Excellent workmanship, nice detailing, and substantial! Many thanks!

A beautiful carving that reminds me of my handsome cat Shadow. I think he must have looked like this as a kitten.
