I'm very pleased (especially after today's entry under Tiki Mug Misfortunes) to show off our recently found Witco wall hanging. According to the 1964 catalog that's pictured in Tiki Modern, this is called "Color Cat." We were very fortunate to find this particular one, as its colors and carving both suit our living room colors quite well. It did mean adding a 3rd cat to the family, but the upkeep on this one is far less demanding than our 2 orange tabby cats.

Christy's holding it - it's about 5 feet wide:

Here's a closeup of the head part of the carving:

And here is our orange tabby Neko, giving her approval to the addition to the family:

And here's Neko with color cat in situ, over the fireplace. Ironically, the poster next to it is for a WILCO concert!

Cheers,
Rupe
