Why this cat cutout makes a difference in everyday life

Ready-made decorations look the same in every home. A cutout you decorate yourself tells your own story. Put it in the window, add it as a thoughtful detail to a gift or make it a shared craft project in the afternoon. You design the sitting cat yourself. Use colours, patterns and motifs that suit you. And because you choose the size, it fits exactly where you need it.

Material & finish

The cat is made of 3 mm plywood and is laser-cut. That's why the edges are smooth. It's also why they have the typical brown rim, which gives the silhouette a fine outline. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. It takes paint, glue and oils well. Wood is a natural material, so every cat turns out slightly differently. Lighter and darker areas, small irregularities in the grain and the occasional knot are part of it. This makes every piece one of a kind.

Fun facts about cats

In many cultures, the cat is seen as a lucky charm. In Japan, for example, the beckoning lucky cat welcomes visitors and prosperity. So a cat you've decorated yourself is more than decoration. It also makes a small good-luck message for a housewarming or a birthday. Or give it as a little present to cat lovers.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Keep the untreated cat dry. Wipe it with a dry cloth when needed. Avoid constant moisture – this way the wood keeps its natural look for a long time. If you'd like to protect the surface, you can paint or oil it after decorating.
