 It
is believed that the first true cat dated back
about 12 million years ago and evolved into 3
major categories: the forest cat, the African
wild cat, and the Asiatic desert cat. Stemming
from the African wild cat, the domestic cat as
we know it today was first enlisted by the Egyptians
around 3000 B.C. to protect grains from rodents.
Because of the value of the cat’s services,
the Egyptians regarded these animals to a god-like
status. The domestic cat of today was a descendent
of the Egyptian’s cats. Part of our cat
collection pays homage to these founding fathers
with a nice selection of Egyptian Bastets.
The first domestic cats were brought to America
by the explorers and early settlers. Over time,
breeders continued to mate those cats portray
their most favorable characteristics in order
to enhance these desirable attributes and the
cat has risen to the status of one of the most
popular domesticated animals in the world. As
such, there is a tremendous amount of interest
in honoring our feline friends with a statue.
Statue.com is proud to offer a vast assortment
of cat statues and cat sculptures ranging from
the lifelike reproductions of the everyday Calico,
Black and White, and Siamese cat to more contemporary
pieces that take on a much more artistic flare.
For an ironic twist, there is a line of cat themed
bird baths as well as a full line a garden plaques
inspired by cats.
