Cats and cows at our house-sit

The collage shows some of the ornaments at our current house-sit. I love the Siamese cats in particular, but the cross-eyed cow plant pot is pretty cute too. The cats are very realistic, and the eyes in particular are very well done. I think I’ve said before that everything here has a farm livestock theme, mostly cows and chickens but dogs and cats feature here and there too.

The top left Siamese cats are identical to those my mother in law had. The other cats look so real and he cow is funny.

They were popular in the mid-60s. I had a "family" set, all sitting upright.

@BarBaraPrz - I think to remember that the sister of my mother also had a set.

@BarBaraPrz @LadyDuck The marking on the bottom of these says 'Country Artists'.

They are really nice nick knacks, the eyes are very detailed. I do love the pair of playing cats.

I don't recall seeing too many ornaments with eyes like these.

They are adorable. Are there cats living in the house or barn? I like cows too. I have a couple of ceramic cows that I love. I bought them in a thrift store where I volunteered for a couple of years.

@JudyEv When I lived in the country, there were groups of cats that roamed around to different houses. I think most people fed them. They started out as pets and joined a gang. I think they had awesome adventures together.

These live in and out. They're allowed inside but spend most of their time outside but around the house area.

I get the feeling that they are fans of Siamese cats. I like domestic short hairs, myself

I prefer short hairs but vacillate between colours depending on what's in front of me at the time! lol

I like the cow plant pot, it's very creative. It must be a pretty big house. and the owner is an animal lover, oh, yes he/she owns all the dogs, cats, and llamas you attend to,

Lovely and interesting ornaments!! The cats do look quite real ! Farm Livestock theme is pretty interesting as well. The creator of these must have an innovative bend of mind!

Another farm-sit had cows, sheep, chicken images on all the cushions, crockery, etc, etc. My sister's place is much the same.

They are very life-like I think. They have the big ears that Siamese seem to have.

You don't often see ornaments with these sorts of eyes. They're not just painted on.
