My daughter has had two stone cats delivered for her garden today not a bad size.
Plus - a bronze sea horse ::) --- well she thought it would be something different to a statue!
Certainly is gal. :-*

Post by: Old Cruser on September 28, 2012, 01:00:40 PM: I ordered them from a firm (Geoffs garden ornaments or something like that) on the internet.
We had a choice of what the cats/seahorse was made of.
She liked the seahorse rather than a statue bit unusual i know to have one as a garden feature, but it's her choice.
I rather liked it when I saw it yesterday, looks good in the bronze she chose.
As daughter is having her garden altered with patio and no maintenance we though some ornaments cemented just under the pebbles would take the plainess off it.
Hubby took this yesterday but chopped some of the sea horses head off (cruel git :) )

Post by: Fly on September 28, 2012, 05:28:34 PM: @Cchris Yes, a specific collection, by Border Fine Arts (Enesco), Cubist Cats.
Been building the collection up for about 13 years now.
There were 16 produced in the slate blue colour which we now own all of.
We also own most of the slate blue kittens in the collection too.
Some designs were also available in a stone, walnut, pumice, verdigris and graphite.

Post by: Fly on November 04, 2012, 07:18:56 PM: This one came up for sale on Ebay the other day. It's fake, of which I am well aware of. Starting price 99p
I got the picture from Ebay the last time it didn't sell.
Messaged the seller and offered them £30 for it. They ended the listing.
Then messaged me back and said it's no longer for sale.
So they know now they have a 1 off fake that could be worth loads in the future.
Wish I'd kept my gob shut !!

It's actually about half size of the photo :)

Depending on whether I view it on my phone or on the big screen it could be tiny or massive ;D

Congrats on collecting them all. :)

I mentioned to Our_Lass, the photo makes it look like something you'd see prowling around London, like in that episode of the Goodies ;D
