brayton laguna catFinal report, Saturday, June 8: Congratulations to Kristin, Jenny, and Margie — our three winners, all confirmed! Thanks, everyone, for playing! ENTRIES NOW CLOSED.

It’s giveaway time — and this time, there will be three winners! Once I started talking with the owner of Bauer Pottery about the mid mod mad Brayton Laguna cats the company is now making from original 1960s molds, it seemed like a no-brainer that a giveaway would follow. And indeed, Bauer Pottery is generously offering to send one of these sleek sculptures to three winners. Choose your color!

After my initial story Bauer Pottery asked if they could send me a cat, and I accepted the gift so that I I could check it out and photograph it in a room setting for this giveaway. I think the cat is scrumptious, and my husband saw it and was like, wow! As you can tell, I’m partial to the black. Thank you, Bauer 🙂

    I have seen these cats in person…they are so cute! And Janek is a sweet man! If you are ever in the area, the showroom is a definite your a must stop!

    I love these! I could find a home for every color… but the Orange is speaking to me.

    Omg. These are so cool. I love the look. I think black is my favorite. Cool beans.

    Love this kitty, while we have a sinuous black cat at home, the orange would spice things up in our living room. Thank you!

    I love these cats . I would want one in every color. I really hope I win so I can gift it to my daughter, who loves cats , MCM , and presents ! I think she would like a black one best. Fingers crossed.

    I would love to win one of your beautiful cat! I also have a real cat! It would be so nice in my authentic mid century kitchen that I just acquired two months ago! That would be great!
    Thanks a lot, have a nice day!
