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)!

It’s soooo hot here right now, so the cool turquoise kitty is looking good to me right now. I only want to look at blues & greens for the rest of the summer!

Fabulous felines for a fifties fetish. Love the aqua.
Bauer pottery also has limited edition tiki vases!

A cool cat.

Sleek, timeless–wow! err…meow!
Carol W says
Gorgeous! These are so striking and mod! I’ll soon be moving into a condo built in the early 60s and my husband forbids me to use anything sputnik, but I’m sure he’d be totally oblivious to other mid-century treasures if they simply just appeared out of nowhere. He’s a cat-lover as well, which might help. Of course, I’d have a hard time choosing a favorite, but the white, copper, and black all work wonderfully with my planned decor.
Amy Strong says
The turquoise kitty would look so adorable in my 1956 ranch house!
Nick says
Did you know that you can unscramble Bauer cat to read tuba race?…didn’t think so!
Carla P. says
I was born in the 60s and just love the retro look. It makes me feel happy to look at these cats. My favorite would be the orange cat.

Pick me! Pick me!

I would love one of these lovely cats. It would look beautiful on my piano. I had a pair of siamese cats that were similar to this back in the 1960s that I loved. I love all the colors, but the aqua, black, and pink are my favorites.
