Meow Motion-Ginger Cat Gift-Handmade Metal Balance Model

Meow Motion is a handmade metal ginger tabby cat with big green eyes, paws held high and a little painted paw print on his pendulum. Balanced on a hidden counterweight, he rocks gently from side to side at the lightest touch before settling back to rest.

Each piece is cut, shaped, assembled and hand-painted in a traditional blacksmith's workshop, in the spirit of the painted tinplate balancing toys of the Victorian and Edwardian nursery. Made in small batches, so no two are exactly the same, the little differences in the brushwork are the mark of proper handmade work.

A brilliant gift for cat lovers, cat owners, crazy cat ladies (and gents), or anyone with a soft spot for a ginger tom. Just as good for a child mad about kittens as it is for a grandparent whose cat rules the household, and a lovely thoughtful present for a neighbour or friend who's recently lost a beloved pet. Sits well on a shelf, mantelpiece, windowsill, kitchen dresser or bedside table. A memorable birthday, Christmas, housewarming, retirement or thank-you present.
