“Excellent workmanship”

I love this little praying cat. He looks just like the picture. He's small enough to put almost anywhere but large enough not to get lost among other items.

“Unique doorstop”

This is a lovely item with lots of detail. It is a functional doorstop and will be used regularly in my home. The pictures do not do its beauty justice.
