HolzWald Cat small

Yes. The cat is a compact 7.2cm high, 6cm long and 2.2cm wide, sized to sit neatly in a small palm. Its solid, rounded body is easy to grip and carry from room to room in play, and the flat underside lets it stand on a table or shelf without support.

It is shaped as the small version of the cat, standing alert on four legs with a curved tail and a rounded head. The gentle carving captures a domestic house cat rather than a wild feline, so it fits naturally into home, garden or farmyard play scenes.

Each cat is carved from a single piece of local wood, with no joints or glued parts to work loose. The edges are rounded through several sanding passes and sealed with oil, so it stands up to daily handling and keeps its smooth, warm surface with only light care.

It is handmade in a small Georgian workshop with over 35 years of woodcraft experience. The workshop uses local wood and finishes each figure by hand, and it also employs people from the local community, including workers with disabilities, as part of an inclusive team.

No. It is painted with natural Biofa dyes and polished with a quality oil, keeping the finish simple and natural. The colour sits over visible wood grain, and because it is applied by hand, each cat carries slightly different markings from the next.

Dust it with a dry cloth and use a barely damp cloth for marks, drying it straight after. Do not soak it or put it in a dishwasher, and keep it away from long periods of direct sunlight so the colour does not fade over the years.

It does. Set beside a HolzWald mouse it makes a classic cat-and-mouse pairing, and it slots easily into a farmyard or home scene with hens, ducks and larger animals. Mixing sizes this way invites simple stories and helps children compare scale.
