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)!

Too cool! They remind me of the stuffed cat my mom sewed from a pattern in the November 1960 Woman’s Day Magazine.

I like the black best since by chance, we’ve had more black cats than others. Why am I drawn to these sculptures? They are simple yet immediately convey what it represents, which is the typical regal cat pose with its tail wrapped around its feet. All other domesticated animals were chosen by humans to submit. Cats chose us.

OK, so yesterday I said one of these cool kitties would be nice as a gift for my daughter and sister-in-law. Today I’m thinking about how it would look on top of my Danish buffet. Good. It would look good.

The reintroduction of these cats is amazing! I’m so excited that Bauer was able to produce them. Thank you for sharing the story about them. The black is my favorite, although all the colors are fab!

I would want the copper green cat. Due to the design of the cats, they can be displayed by an 1940’s radio or even on Victorian piece of furniture. It would look nice with my Victorian secretary desk.
