Final 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!

How to enter to win:
- To win, you must be a subscriber to our newsletter (Yes, this is “what’s in it for the blog” — you can opt out at any time after the contest ends, or continue on for the stories and other, occasional giveaways.)
- To enter, use the Comment field below and tell us something about these cool cats — which color would you choose, why do you like them… or tell us whatever, this is all for fun.
- You can enter once per day now through Monday, June 3, 6 p.m., when entries close. (You only need to subscribe to the newsletter once, though!)
- U.S. and Canada only.
- Prize: There will be three winners. Each winner will receive one cat, in one of the five stock colors of their choice, directly from Bauer Pottery.
- Pam will choose the winners via the Random Number Generator at random.org. I will check if the ‘winner’ is a newsletter subscriber. I will email the winner. [Tip: Be sure you enter your email address correctly in the email field of the Comment form.] The winner will have five business days to respond. If I do not hear from them, I will choose the next person after who commented. Lather, rinse, repeat. I will post the winner’s first name as soon as all is confirmed.
- Terms of use apply.
Thank you so much, Bauer Pottery (see all the cool cats and their full product line here)!

The turquoise cat would fit perfectly in my house…to go along with my real black and white kitties.
David Kolenda says
My wife loves the orange cat!

I have a beautiful black cat and the black version reminds me of him! Would look so fantastic on our mantel!!
John says
Some pieces just “scream” mid century. This cat is one of those!
April Box says
I am doing my living room to match my precious Aunt Katy’s as much as possible. Aqua divan, starburst clock, glass balls in a glass tray…still need a console hi-fi and a black cat…have her coffee table (replica) that it sat on. Wish I had something of hers, but never offered anything. This is my way of remembering her. I do have a framed snapshot of her on my mantle. She is my real mother in my heart, and the best friend I ever had.
John says
Great story, April!

Such cute kitties! I’d get black to match my vintage ceramic cats (and panthers)!
