Arched-back cat – black wooden silhouette, 5–50 cm

Autumn is coming and the evenings are getting darker. But your window still needs the motif that really brings in Halloween. This wooden arched-back cat is made for it. It's a black silhouette with a raised back. Simply put it on your window, your door or into your craft project. That turns a bare window pane into Halloween decoration.

Why this wooden cat makes a difference

Good decoration doesn't need a big arrangement. Often a single, clear motif is enough. You can place the arched-back cat on the window, on the table or in an autumn craft project. No need to think it over for long. Just stand it or stick it where you want it. The room then tells a little story all by itself.

Material & finish

The cat is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical brown edge that neatly frames the motif. The front has a black stain. Depending on the light, the wood grain and small knots still show through. That shows you're holding a real natural material. The back is left natural and untreated. You can paint it or stick things on it however you like. Wood is never completely even. Differences in shade and small patterns in the grain are normal. They make every piece unique.

Good to know about the arched-back cat

The black cat with a raised back has been part of the folklore around witches and superstition for centuries. Hardly any motif stands so clearly for the mysterious side of autumn. That's why it is a Halloween decoration classic today. It also suits themed parties, window pictures and autumn crafting sessions.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Keep the cat dry and away from constant moisture. That way the stain and the natural back keep their look for a long time. And you can enjoy it again next autumn.

Frequently asked questions

Can I paint the cat or stick things on it? Yes. The natural, untreated back is particularly good for painting and decorating. It's ideal for crafting with children too.

Why does the cat have a brown edge? The edge is created during laser cutting and is typical of this cutting method. It also gives smooth, accurate edges.

Do all the cats look exactly the same? The shape is true to size, but wood is a natural material. Depending on the light, the grain and small knots show through the black stain. Every piece is unique.

Which size suits my project? As a guide: at 10 cm wide, the cat is 8 cm high. This helps you estimate the height for any width you choose.

A wooden cutout is only the start. What counts is the moment when the candles are lit. The cats cast their shadows on the window. And your home feels like autumn. Just choose your size and quantity. The silhouette does the rest.
