“Beautiful!”

The wood, and carving, is beautiful; but I have one criticism: the paw is rounded off too much, so it doesnt actually scratch enough. It is more of a massage feel, and does not take care of the itch, it rubs the itchy area but does not get rid of the itch; and I would love it if the back scratcher had some scratch to it. If it had a bit of an edge on the paw, it would be perfect. I do love it though, just not for scratching my back so much.

Massage, rub tired muscles

“Calming Affect”

Love this sculpture and beautifully crafted. The grains of the wood stand out and enhances its presentation. As displayed, it has a calming affect and helps to reduce stress whenever I look at it. Just the right size to fit anywhere and not too small to detract from its detail. The cats eyes are what drew me to this sculpture from the outset.

As displayed, help to brighten any room
