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 Mid century cats. I recently started collecting them. The teal kitty is a cool pop of color….but any one would fit in purrrrrfectly.

    An Aqua cat to sit on my Aqua Ripple (Wilsonart, Retro Renovation pattern) kitchen counters! Yes!

    I love these cats because they seem to bridge the styles from the 40s to the 70s…and I like to live in each of those decades-styles!

    The colors are great. I really would have a difficult time deciding on which color I would want. I think the black is very classic and would probably go that way.
