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)!

Love, love, love these cats. They remind me of my aunt had who was a cat person as well. I remember 6 of them roaming around her house all day. She had one of these Bauer Pottery cats, or one like this, and I was always amazed that one of the cats didn’t knock it over. Thanks for allowing me to reminisce!

The orange would definitely look good in my house, although I wish they had the vintage Bauer yellow. OTOH, would make it more difficult to choose.
Jennie Williams says
The black one reminds me of our cat Chip. He came to us from the streets with tattered ears. But this stoneware will never chip!
Stephanie in MD says
Can’t have a real cat – son is allergic – but a pretty kitty like this would be purr-fect! In orange for our new home!
Anastasia says
Great giveaway! I would love to have the soft pink kitty for my bedroom dresser!
Debbie in Portland says
My son recently moved out, and made me promise that I wouldn’t go right out and get another cat.
Winning a Bauer Pottery cat totally does NOT count.
Pennie M says
These are purrfect!
Nancy says
No pussyfooting around, I would love to win one of these!
Gerri Taylor says
I love this! I would put a turquoise cool cat in my living room, sitting next to my party petal watching the time pass with the starburst wall clock.
