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)!

This cat reminds me of my Grandma Alice-my favorite part of her house was the craft corner and this cat embodies the spirit that lived there! The turquoise cat is my favorite!
Wendy Peter says
I love these cats. They showcase the “cool and sleek” sixties factor so well. I’ve always wanted one…
Carrie Barrera says
Love the orange kitty!
Lynn Lukins says
These are so cool,especially for cat lovers like me. I’d choose the orange one, which would go in several of my rooms.

Not sure my comment went through, I hope so. Love the Bauer Cats in every color.
Hallie says
Purr-fection!
Melody Christensen says
I have loved these Bauer cats since I was a young girl. I grew up in the late fifties and sixties, and my best friends mother had one on her mantel. It looked like everything a cat should look like, regal, aloof, with a stunning profile. We had a siamese cat that would pose and look exactly like this Bauer cat. That kitty was my best buddy, and would have to sit through and listen to all my teenage angst. That kitty moved with me several times, and when she finally passed I was heartbroken. I would treasure this, and honestly love every color.

Such an iconic design, glad it’s available. I like the white cat in particular, because it goes with everything!
