Cat with Hummingbird Weathervane

Cat Weathervane, Cat with Hummingbird
This all
copper cat weathervane features glass eyes and brass whiskers.
Distinct tooling gives the fur a realistic texture on the body. The
hummingbird is feeding from a flower. 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 of this cat weathervane,
please see our
Cat and Butterfly 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.[1]
Humans have developed several dozens breeds of cat, in a variety of colours.
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.

Yards and
gardens are excellent places to install weathervanes. The fine detail such as
fur and whiskers, are easily visible, and in the winter, when the garden is
dormant, the weathervane adds a element of movement and interest. The
Cat & Hummingbird weathervane shown to the right is a medium sized vane and
is highlighted by the late afternoon sun. |
