We have placed it at the corner of a flower bed to the left of the entrance, so you see it as you pass by. It is not very big, so it has to be carefully placed to get noticed!

Comments about Stretching Cat:

I love my stretching cat. I placed it in the flower garden, on the front porch, the deck, next to a tree - several different places to determine the best location. The problem is - it looked great everywhere I sat it. It is so lifelike that my Yellow Lab jumped when he first saw it and started circling around as though it were a live cat. I am so pleased with this purchase.

Comments about Stretching Cat:

I bought this ornament to mark the grave of a dear little cat that was run over by a car when he was barely a year old. I wanted to mark his grave somehow, but I couldn't afford much. I saw this in the catalog and thought it perfect. While I have had it for only about a month, it seems to be weathering fine, is heavy enough to withstand our Texas winds (and, oddly, the other cats rubbing up against it), and it "fits in" with the surrounding greenery.

Love it!!

Comments about Stretching Cat:

My fiance' passed away in January 2009 and I purchased the cat to put on his grave site at the cemetary. He loved cats and this was the perfect way to add a little of "him" to the spot. It is the perfect size and heavy enough not to blow over or away in bad weather.
