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 love them all, so cool they are doing a giveaway and enjoyed the original post about them. I’d say aqua if I had to pick:)

    I love cats. I’d have a hard time choosing a color, I like all of them.

    Wow a white or beige cat would make my Kitty Kat (8 months old) feel like she had a friend to talk to. I own a Victorian home but love your website and all things 50’s and 60’s.

    So excited to enter a MidCentury contest for the family. For today we are choosing orange. Tomorrow we may choose a different color lol.

  6. Diana says

    Well now, I do think I need to have that Orange cat. I’ve had cats all my life and well, it’s time I commemorate all the babies I’ve had and lost.

    Classic black of course! To match my real black cat and also would look scrumptious in my original pink & gray 50’s bathroom!!!!

    I love the look of these. The black one might be my number one choice, but the teal color is great too!
