I collect smallish cat figurines, I try to find ones that are a bit unique or 'animated' looking.
Here are a few of mine...do you all have any to share?

The southwest looking one is part of the Robert Shields collection (remember Shields and Yarnell? He is an artist among other things now)

You have some really cute ones! I only have a few and nothing that exciting. I'm pretty sure there are other PTers who have some neat collections of cats .... this will give the thread a *bump* so they can share too!;)
I have some,from the Import Shop,near the Libray,when they are on sale,and quite,a few from the Salvation Army,also,on sale! My Favorite,is the one,that I bought,for 2 Dollars,of Saint Nicholas,a Momma Cat,and Kittens,being embraced,by a Smiling Saint.
Gary, you have got to learn how to use that camera so you can take pictures and post.. I would love to see that!
Bibblets, I have many, all mine are ordinary, none like you have.. Rie Rie has a really cute set she got for Christmas, I hope she sees this thread and posts a picture of those..
Here is a set of kitties my sister in law gave me for my birthday.

There ya go Rie, I wish you had done something for size comparison so they could see how big they are... These are not small figures, they are BIG!
Ok, here's another picture, something for comparison...regular size votive candle.......They are just a little over 8 inches tall.

I don't really have any cat figures. I collect dragons. :)
Love your collection!
I have a nice collection of Lenox cats. I love them, but am running out of room where I put them... time to buy a shelf for them! I'll photograph and attach images later (likeafter I dust! :D )
Wow, I adore your collection! You have some pretty special ones!!
I collect cat figurines too, cat-magnets, cat-mugs, etc... ;) . I also have a collection of mini-pet-soaps!

They are gorgeous hey! I found them in a little shop last year, around valentine's day!!Of course, I HAD to get them all :rolleyes: ;) :D
I love them...all of them! I adore the cups and bowls!
I like to search Ebay for unusual figurines.
My favorite is the one on the far left in the first pic. It is a cat standing on a chair giving raspberries to mouse down below, and around the base it says 'pussycat pussycat where have you been?'
Remember the nursery rhyme..
pussycat pussycat where have you been?
I've been to London to visit the Queen.
pussycat pussycat what did you there?
I frightened a little mouse under her chair.
Its always a treat to come across a new one for the collection.
Thanks for sharing yours:D
***SQUEAL***
I love ALL of them! And I love that nursery rhyme! I say to little miss Sasha Marie Princess all the time!
Thanks for sharing - I'll get a few pics of mine on as soon as I can. :)
I have those same kitties!!! Got them at Cracker Barrel!;)Quote:

I've got lots of them, but (echoing catnapper) hate to dust lol! I have some favorites which are my Hummels, and 1950s figurines. One I bought for .10 several years ago, and saw at an antique show selling for almost $100.00!!!A Royal Doulton kitten...so cute! :eek: :) :D And I have several of the San Francisco Music Company figurines that are very cute (and musical).
