Cat Weathervane, Cat with Butterfly
This all copper cat weathervane features glass eyes and brass whiskers. Distinct tooling gives the fur a realistic texture on the body. The butterfly sits atop a brass cat tail plant. Customers can provide photographs of their feline pets for a customized weather vane depicting their favorite kitty. Glass eye color can be selected to accommodate a variety of cat's eye colors. For a variation on this weathervane, please see our Cat & Hummingbird Weathervane.
The trinomial name of the domestic cat is Felis silvestris catus. Its closest pre-domesticated ancestor is believed to be the African wild cat, Felis silvestris lybica. Humans have developed several dozens breeds of cat, in a variety of colors. Cats have lived in close association with humans for at least 9,500 years. Legends and myths about the cat exist in many cultures, from the ancient Egyptians and Chinese to the Vikings. They have been both revered and vilified by different cultures.

Two of our customers have been kind enough to send us photos of the Cat & Butterfly weathervanes. The first photo shows a very clever installation. They used a vertical wall bracket to mount their weathervane just below a second story window. That way, when they are in the house, they can look out the window and enjoy it and it is also visible from outside.
The other photo shows that their Cat & Butterfly weathervane is definitely part of the family as it dines with them!

This small cat and butterfly weathervane was mounted on a deck railing where it could easily be seen and enjoyed from inside the house. Notice the free standing brass base attached to the deck railing. When used outdoors we recommend screwing it onto the display surface.

Cat & Butterfly Weathervane Customer Photos in Garden |
In these photos (left) you can see that our customer installed a tall wooden post in her back yard and mounted the weathervane on top of it. This allowed her to place it further back in her garden and still have it be clearly visible.
