			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a cat lover, a creation like this <strong>scrap metal cat sculpture</strong> is irresistible. However, it becomes doubly so when you find out the sculpture is in fact also a functioning cat food and water bowl holder. The wonderfully whimsical piece is made by renowned American sculptor Richard Kolb who has become well-known for his Yardbirds sculptures portraying cats, dogs, birds and a wide variety of other unusual characters. This cat sculpture is perfect for art-appreciating cat owners.</p>
<p><a href="http://homeinteriordesignthemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Metal-Cat-Sculpture-Pet-Feeding-Bowl.jpg"><img src="http://homeinteriordesignthemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Metal-Cat-Sculpture-Pet-Feeding-Bowl.jpg" alt="" title="Metal Cat Sculpture Pet Feeding Bowl" width="345" height="272" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6464" /></a>Kolb collects the metal he uses in his sculptures from locations including landfill sites. Such items as garden tools, car parts, farm implements, bicycle parts, and mufflers are turned into <strong>charming animal forms</strong> and each is unique due to the parts used. What’s more, each one has been individually hand created with loving attention making them delightful items to showcase in the home whether in a functional or purely decorative capacity, or in most cases, both. This scrap metal cat sculpture will definitely serve as an aesthetically pleasing talking point in wherever interior space you feed your cats.</p>
<p>The sculpture features two bowls, one for water and one for food. Four strong feet, rather like a miniature table, provide a solid foundation so nothing is spilt or slips out. The height at which the two bowls rest on the back of the metal cat are at a perfect height for comfortable eating for most types of cat. The sturdiness of the metal means it will survive even the most excited and ravenous cat’s attention come meal time. If placed outside, perhaps as a flower pot holder, the metal will gently rust thereby creating another form of beauty in amongst the shrubs and flowers.</p>
<p>You can buy it here: <strong><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=334883&amp;b=29118&amp;m=6787&amp;afftrack=&amp;urllink=www%2Edetailsart%2Ecom%2Fglasseyedcatfeeder4%2Easpx">Scrap Metal Cat Sculpture with Food Bowls</a></strong>.</p>
<p>Measures 21&#8243; x 7&#8243; x9&#8243;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A cat lover’s home will not be complete without at least one cat statue. It can be small or large but needs to be in a prominent position to show visitors that the house is decidedly cat-friendly. It’s therefore important to find a good quality statue and that’s where this delightful ancient Egyptian <strong>Bastet cat statue</strong> comes into the picture. Made from cast bronze and with hand-painted color accents and antique finishing, the statue is a must-have for any cat devotee.</p>
<p><a href="http://homeinteriordesignthemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Bronze-Bastet-Cat-Statue.jpg"><img src="http://homeinteriordesignthemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Bronze-Bastet-Cat-Statue.jpg" alt="" title="Bronze Bastet Cat Statue" width="300" height="300" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-6319" /></a>The Bastet was a feline goddess from ancient Egypt and was worshipped up until the end of the Second Dynasty (2686 BC). Egyptologists have discovered that Bastet was originally portrayed as either a fierce lioness or a woman with the head of a lion. During this period she was considered the protector goddess of Lower Egypt and defender of the pharaoh. Gradually, over time, her standing slipped due to competition from other feline goddesses and she morphed into a <strong>cat-goddess</strong>. Sometimes she was represented as a woman with the head of a cat but most of the time, simply as a cat. </p>
<p>The Ancient Egyptians loved cats and revered them as special creatures. This was in no small part due to their rat and snake catching abilities which frequently saved food supplies and often kept away disease. Some royal families even dressed their cats with jewellery and allowed them to eat from the same plate as they did. A few modern-day cat owners will undoubtedly be sympathetic to such actions. Hundreds of thousands of mummified cats have been found in tombs across Egypt. </p>
<p>This good looking Bastet cat sculpture measures 8 inches in height and features an array of intricate detailing that does justice to the beautiful form of the feline body. The cat wears jewellery which is hand-painted in a truly wonderful understated manner that takes nothing away from the bodily form. Green felt is attached to the base of the statue so as to protect table and shelf surfaces from any marks. Placed in a prominent position in a living room, bedroom or dining room, the ancient Egyptian cat sculpture will bring a touch of classical elegance, beauty and sophistication to an interior setting. </p>
<p>You can buy it here: <strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002EB0UC6/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=homintdesthe-20&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=217145&#038;creative=399369&#038;creativeASIN=B002EB0UC6">Ancient Egyptian Bastet Real Bronze Powder Cast Statue</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=homintdesthe-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=B002EB0UC6&#038;camp=217145&#038;creative=399369" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /></strong></p>
<p>Has received many glowing reviews from previous buyers. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For bookworms like myself who also love cats, a gift that will really make them smile is something along the lines of this pair of <strong>black cat bookend figurines</strong> which can be seen in the image below. I&#8217;ve mentioned cats so many times on this blog and that&#8217;s because I am very much a cat fanatic and have had cats all my life. Their form and beauty lend themselves to sculpture and decorative accessories like this black cat bookend figurine duo who appear to be doing what cats love best of all, testing their claws. </p>
<p><img src="http://homeinteriordesignthemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/black-cat-bookends-figurines.jpg" alt="black-cat-bookends-figurines" title="black-cat-bookends-figurines" width="469" height="364" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2516" />Cat figurines, whether as stand-alone sculptures, figurative bookends or in fine art have long been popular for artists to portray. As anyone who has tried to draw a cat will know, their form and shape are incredibly sublime and beautiful. The curving lines of the arched back and circular thighs accentuate the incredibly delicate yet strong body of the feline species. This is why an accessory like this pair of <strong>black cat bookend figurines</strong> is really a visual feast for cat lovers who wish their books to be kept neat and tidy. </p>
<p>This particular black cat bookend figurines are made from aluminum and reach just over 7 inches in height. The cat&#8217;s back feet act as the bookend base and provide an artistic yet sturdy grip for the job they have been designed for. Most cat lovers will have a series of books, whether half a dozen or more, on cats and their behaviour, as well as books with pictures of felines from around the world. What better way to keep these cat books all in one location than in-between these black cat bookend figurines? </p>
<p>You can see a larger image of these playful cat bookends as well as purchasing details here: <strong><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=334883&#038;b=35070&#038;m=7646&#038;afftrack=&#038;urllink=www%2Eeverythingfurniture%2Ecom%2Fimax2%2Dcat%2Dbookends%2D1%2Ehtml%23axzz0a2lsTwWp">Black Cat Bookend Figurines</a></strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yet another mention of cats on this blog. I am feline crazy and no wonder when there are so many great sculptural metal moggies on the market. Take for example, this <strong>sleepy cat wall clock</strong> below. It&#8217;s made from recycled metal scraps and can be fitted on an interior or exterior wall. It&#8217;s the perfect gift idea for anyone you know, including yourself, who loves cats. </p>
<p><img src="http://homeinteriordesignthemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/sleepy-cat-wall-clock-metal-scraps.jpg" alt="sleepy-cat-wall-clock-metal-scraps" title="sleepy-cat-wall-clock-metal-scraps" width="280" height="405" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1979" />This sleepy cat wall clock is made by Richard Kolb for <em>Yardbirds</em>. The sculptor takes <strong>scrap metal</strong> and recycles them into sculptural forms, including a variety of animals. Cats seem to be one of his favorites like they would be with me if I attempted to create such delightfully whimsical sculptures. </p>
<p>Each of these wall clocks is <strong>individually handmade</strong> and thus no two cats will be identical. This is something I like very much about these sculptures. The sleepy cat wall clock is also made of bare metals so over time, if you let it, the clock can naturally rust. In my view, this is something one should allow for that is part of the unique appeal of these types of recycled sculpture. One can however treat them with an acrylic enamel spray if you want to prevent this rusting process. </p>
<p>The <strong>waving cat clock</strong> can be placed anywhere, inside or outside of the home. Perhaps in the hallway, garage, kitchen or even the bathroom. In the yard, it can be attached to the exterior wall, a fence post or even to a tree trunk. Wow, the latter would look great, although one must be careful to make sure the tree is large enough to not be adversely damaged by such an action. </p>
<p>You&#8217;ll probably have a good idea of where you&#8217;d like to hang such a timing fixture. In which case, you can buy this cat clock from the following location: <strong><a href="http://www.shareasale.com/m-pr.cfm?merchantID=6787&#038;userID=334883&#038;productID=456324492" target="_blank">Sleepy Cat Wall Clock Made From Recycled Metal Scraps</a></strong>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a recent post I talked about the things you should consider before <a href="http://homeinteriordesignthemes.com/2009/05/indoor-house-plants-things-to-consider-before-you-purchase/" target="_blank">purchasing a house plant</a>. Within this article I hinted at the multitude of plant containers you can get which will compliment both the plant and the interior space. Whilst you don&#8217;t necessarily want the container to outshine the house plant, it can add a dynamic or decorative lift to the area of the room where the two are placed.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-840" title="metal-cat-plant-pot-holder" src="http://homeinteriordesignthemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/metal-cat-plant-pot-holder.jpg" alt="metal-cat-plant-pot-holder" width="436" height="320" />If you are a cat lover, then this particular metal cat sculpture and flower pot holder will appeal greatly to you. It can be placed outside or inside and will be suited to either environment. I&#8217;m a fan of bringing outdoor objects inside, after all, why should the birds and the squirrels have all the fun?</p>
<p><strong>The cat sculpture and pot holder</strong> is made from recycled materials and each one is uniquely made in Louisville, Kentucky. It&#8217;s composed of bare metals which if placed outside, will gradually rust. However indoors, this process will be negligible. There are various clear acrylic enamel sprays you can use to stop rust.</p>
