Tucked into hostas in spring, nestled beside summer blooms or watching over a quiet corner of the garden, she is a year-round piece for gardeners who believe every good garden deserves a little personality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd for the cat lover?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWell… you already know who really runs the house and garden anyway. 😂\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE DETAILS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Cat body measures approximately 8 inches tall\u003cbr\u003e\n• Welded to a 12-inch garden stake\u003cbr\u003e\n• Approximately 20 inches overall height\u003cbr\u003e\n• Precision CNC plasma cut from 14-gauge steel\u003cbr\u003e\n• Welded and finished by hand\u003cbr\u003e\n• Designed for flower beds, gardens, planters and landscape displays\u003cbr\u003e\n• Available in Raw Steel or our Rusted Finish\u003cbr\u003e\n• Handmade to order in our Michigan shop\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause every piece begins as real steel and is finished by hand, slight variations are natural and part of what makes each one feel like its own piece rather than something stamped out by the thousands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCHOOSE YOUR FINISH\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRAW STEEL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Raw Steel finish is exactly what it sounds like — genuine bare steel with no paint, clear coat or sealant added.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeft outdoors, the steel will naturally begin to develop patina and rust as it reacts with moisture, humidity and the surrounding atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepending on where you live, that transformation may begin rather quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is part of the beauty of raw steel: the garden gets to help finish the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver time, the surface will deepen, change and take on a character all its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRUSTED FINISH\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Rusted Finish is real rust — never painted-on faux rust and never powder coated to imitate it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe begin the oxidation process by hand using apple cider vinegar, salt and peroxide, encouraging the steel to develop those rich, earthy rust tones before it ever leaves our shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe intentionally leave that finish unsealed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat means your cat will continue to weather, darken, rust and evolve outdoors over time, becoming more naturally aged with every season she spends in the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo two rusted pieces will ever age in exactly the same way — and we think that is exactly how it should be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA LITTLE STORY FOR THE GARDEN\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe designed this one for the tucked-away places.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe corner beneath the hydrangea where leaves collect in autumn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe porch planter sitting beside an old rocking chair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe herb garden where something always seems to be watching from between the stems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flower bed you pass every morning with your coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe is elegant enough for a traditional cottage garden, whimsical enough for a storybook garden and just mysterious enough to slip beautifully into fall and Halloween decorating without ever feeling seasonal-only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThink garden guardian… with whiskers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA GIFT FOR THE CAT PERSON WHO HAS EVERYTHING\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis makes a lovely gift for:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Siamese cat
