Wooden Halloween cat – black silhouette, 5–50 cm

The pumpkin is already by the door. The fairy lights are up. But the windowsill is still missing the one thing that makes guests and children grin. This black wooden Halloween cat is made for exactly that spot. The sitting silhouette stands out against any background with its deep black. It brings a spooky mood into your home in seconds. Stand it up, lean it against something or arrange a whole row. Then your home is ready for Halloween night.

• You'll find the right size for every spot. The cat is available in heights from 5 cm to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.

Why this wooden Halloween cat makes a difference

Plastic Halloween decorations are everywhere. A design made of real wood feels different and looks different. The cat adds atmosphere to a room without being too much. It works with any decorations: between pumpkins, next to candles, behind the window pane. When Halloween night is over, it goes back into the box undamaged. There it waits for next year.

Material & finish

The cat is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. That gives it smooth, accurate edges. It also gives it the typical brown edge, which adds extra outline to the shape. The black stain on the front is of good quality. Depending on the light, the wood grain and small knots still show through. This is not a flaw. It is the sign of a real natural material and makes every piece unique. The back is left natural and untreated, so you can design it as you like. Every cat is made in Bütic's own production in Pößneck, in the heart of Thuringia.

Good to know about the black cat

Along with the pumpkin and the bat, the black cat is one of the classic Halloween motifs. Its role as a mysterious companion goes back to old European folk beliefs. Emigrants took these beliefs to America. From there they became part of Halloween as we know it today. That's exactly why the silhouette works so well. Everyone recognises it at first glance. And everyone links it straight away with the spooky night of 31 October.

Care & durability

There's not much to do: just remove dust with a dry cloth. The back is untreated, so it's best to store the cat in a dry place and protect it from constant moisture. That way it will look good for many Halloween seasons.

Frequently asked questions

Is the cat black on both sides? No, only the front has a black stain. The back is natural and untreated. That's ideal if you want to paint or decorate it yourself.

Can I paint the cat and stick things on it? Yes. The untreated back is especially good for painting, decorating and all kinds of crafts, including with children.

Why can I see the grain through the black colour in places? Wood is a natural material with different textures, small knots and shades. Depending on the light, the grain shows through the stain. That is exactly what makes every piece unique.

How wide is the cat? The width depends on the height you choose. For example, at 10 cm high the cat is 5.5 cm wide.

Picture the moment it gets dark outside and the candles flicker indoors. The black cat in the window gives the evening its first little spooky moment. Just choose your size and quantity and get your home ready for Halloween.
