“I bought the set of three!”

I am delighted with the purchase of these cats. They are unique and well sculpted. They came signed and dated by the artist. They were also beautifully wrapped with a woven turtle design on the box. It was a terrific birthday present from my husband.

“Cozy Cat is adorable!”

Beautifully carved cat with such a cute face looking up in wonder. I love it! I have it on my TV stand looking right at me. Thinking about getting another cat by Nengah for the other side of the stand. Most likely will!
