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)!

As a child we had the black cat sitting on our 1956 home fireplace hearth.
I’ve been looking for another since the recent relocation back to my hometown and purchase of a 1957 with 2 fireplaces.
Any color would be more than welcome to join our family. The Bauer Pottery Brayton Laguna Black Cat would be nostalgic.
Tina Chang says
I’m not picky, all the colors are groovy! But I’d take one in aqua!
Traci Ward says
Ok, I was told we could sign up to win once everyday. So here I go again. Love, love this cat! Now I am starting to lean more toward the black one! Ha!
Ken says
One of those kitties would look awesome next to my Sascha Brastoff crocodile. 🙂
Janice Bruorton says
These modern stylized cats are truly fabulous, and what home would be complete with a little orange kitty.
Denise says
These cats are cool man!! Soo sleek and sexy!! Can’t decide on the colors tho they are all so marvelous! Maybe Orange? Perfect MCM color! Thank you Bauer Pottery for bringing these back to us for our enjoyment! And a shout out to Retro Renovation for their newsletter full of awesomeness!

I love the orange cat, as I’m a 70s child… but I have a black oriental and a very pale cream oriental who sit just like the black and white Brayton cats!! I’d love to send my winning cat to my brother and (soon to be)sister in law in Florida 🙂

I like the aqua colored one. They are so smooth looking.
Dustin says
All the colors are super cool !!! I want one !!!!
Shirley says
For today’s entry, I think I would hope to win the aqua cat as he would go very well with the colors throughout my 1950 home. Thank you so much for sponsoring this wonderful contest!
