Gosh - it is possible I got the last one???

I went to that link and looked through all the cat stuff...and nothing. Though there WERE some cute statues - Biker Persian???

Well...there's one here up in Calgary...but not for $37.00!

I'll check the manufacturer's label when it gets here and see if that yields some results.

Yay, glad he arrived safely! Isn't there a URL on the box that says something.co.uk?

Country Artists will cease operation in December 2010.

The U.S. distributor is Enesco - here is their Country Artists page:

Here is the same cat, but it is a TUXEDO grooming a paw:

Not sure what this means, but I went to the Country Artists' link on the box:

Dear Country Artists Guild Member:

We regret to announce that the Country Artists Collectors' Guild will cease operating on 31st December 2010. This is due to the decreasing number of members of the Guild, and the lack of support for the special member-only figurines.

This means that if your membership is due for renewal in 2010 we will not be able to renew your membership, but we will continue to send out the regular mailings in 2010 including Country Letters. If you have already renewed your membership for 2010 we will be contacting you in due course, or if you renewed for two years in 2009, we will be sending you your 2010 renewal gift, Cock Sparrow automatically.

I found the online catalogues for 2009; have put the kitten/cat pages into thumbnails; just above the catalogue page in small print are the other cat categories. There are some stunning statues:

That's about all I could find! Oh - and the one in Calgary...

[krazyaboutkatz]

I'm glad you decided to order it before they ran out. I also ordered a few things for my bathroom from the same company and I was also very pleased with the quality.

Great detail and very life-like - and a much better price than you were originally going to pay!
