Wooden witch's cat – hissing cat in black, 3–50 cm

The days are getting shorter. The first pumpkin is already flickering in the window. But there's still no witch's cat on the windowsill. This black wooden witch's cat is made for exactly that. With its arched back and hissing pose, it brings Halloween into your home straight away. Use it as a window decoration, on a wreath or as table scatter on the buffet. Simply choose the size that suits your idea – from tiny to room-filling.

What changes for you

• You get your Halloween decoration in exactly the right size. The cat is available from 3 cm to 50 cm high in 1 cm steps.
• You can start straight away, with no cutting out or finishing. The cutout is laser-cut to size with smooth edges.
• The black stain lets the wood grain show through, depending on the light. So your window, wreath or table looks more natural than with plastic decorations.
• No need to order one by one for bigger projects. The cat also comes in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100. That's handy for crafting with children or decorating a shop.
• You can paint or decorate the natural back however you like. Only the front is stained.

Why this witch's cat makes a difference

Halloween decorations are quick to buy, but rarely special. A hissing cat in real wood feels heavier in your hand. It stands steady in the room. And you can bring it out again year after year. Because you choose the size yourself, it fits your idea – not the other way round. Small as table scatter between candles. Large as a standalone piece in the window.

Material & finish

The witch's cat is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical brown edge of laser cutting. The black stain is applied evenly. Depending on the light, you can see the grain and small knots. Wood is a natural material, and these small differences make every piece unique. The back is left natural and untreated, so you can design it yourself. Every cutout is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia.

How to use the witch's cat

• In the window at Halloween: hang up a few cats in different sizes. At dusk, they cast spooky silhouettes into the room.
• Crafting with children: each child paints the natural back of their own cat. At the end, everyone has a little work of art to take home.
• On the Halloween table: scatter small cats between plates and candles. Your table tells a little story before the first course.
• On a wreath or garland: thread on or tie in several cats. In just a few minutes, you have an autumn decoration for your door and hallway.
• In a bakery, café or at a market stall: as table scatter on the buffet and counter, the witch's cat marks the season in autumn. It's quick to put out, quick to tidy away and lasts for many years.

Good to know about the black cat

Since the Middle Ages, the black cat with an arched back has been seen as the witch's companion. That makes it one of the oldest Halloween motifs of all – long before pumpkins and ghosts. This is why it works so reliably as a decoration. Everyone recognises it at first glance, whether in the window, on the table or at the shop counter.

Care & durability

There's not much to do. Store the cat in a dry place and dust it with a soft cloth when needed. That's all it needs. Avoid constant moisture, as wood is a natural material. This way, you can bring out your decoration for many years to come.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the witch's cat? Yes. The back is natural and untreated. It's easy to paint, stick things on and decorate.

Why does the cutout have a brown edge? The cat is laser-cut. The brown edge is typical of this process. It also gives you smooth, accurate edges.

Are both sides black? No, only the front is stained. The back is left natural – ideal for decorating yourself.

Does every cat look the same? The shape is cut to size, but wood is a natural material. Grain, shade and small knots vary slightly and make every piece unique.

What counts is more than a wooden cutout. It's the moment your guests stop at the window because a hissing cat is casting its shadow in the candlelight. Simply choose your size – single or in a set.
