Cat Figures

A great stress relieving hobby for cat lovers!  They also make great gifts for fellow cat enthusiasts.  


The internet is best for variety and finding those very cute ones still missing from your collection. The problem is that searching the web for those perfect ones isn't always that easy.  To put just cat into search would bring up thousands of items including tractors, music and many other things. Plus you would think that simply typing cat figure into eBay would be enough. Truth be told: IT ISN'T.  Sometimes is damn hard finding a nice collection.  

People would rather list them by description, colour, material and/or brand name if there is one.  The actual term figure or figurines is hardly ever used.  

 Here is some handy search word ideas covering mostly the porcelain and bone china figures:
-Porcelain Cat
-Bone China Cat
-Tabby Cat
-Calico Cat
-Siamese Cat
-Gato figurine
-Kitten Figurine
-Glas Cat
-Cat Bookends
-Ceramic Cat
-Persian Cat
-Cat Music Box
-Cat Family
-Cat statue
-Feline Figurine
-Japan Cat
-Kitten Statue
-Feline Figurine
-Germany Cat
-Taiwan Cat
-Gem Cat Eyes
-Pottery Cat
-Dime Store Cat
-Resin Cat
-Sandicast Cat

There are some companies that are gone now and some still in business that make great cat figures. They will usually have the name posted on the base or as a gold sticker on the side. Those will usually be listed using those names.

Here's a site to help you find some brand names to search for or maybe even put a name to cat figures you already have.  Enjoy!
