Cat lover collectibles can come in many different shapes, styles, sizes and materials. They can be whimsical and abstract or true-to-life. They can be miniature or life size. They can be made of stone, resin, ceramic, metal or glass. Collectibles are as varied as the collectors.

The WhimsiClay line of collectibles from Willitts Designs feature brightly-colored, whimsical cat ceramic figurines. The charming figurines are designed by Amy Lacombe. Each one has its own theme, carried out by the pose, color combination and accents.

A Breed Apart sculptures from Willitts Designs capture with great detail the comical characteristics of cats. Each high-quality sculpture created by master sculpture Grant Palmer takes a humorous look at our furry friends.

Despite the variety of appearances, the one thing that all cat collectibles have in common is how they make the owner feel. A collectible has an intrinsic value. It may remind you of a fond memory of a childhood a family pet or your stately cat that purrs at your feet. And, sometimes, a collectible does not remind you of anything. It's charm just simply puts a smile on your face.

Many cat lovers preserve that childhood memory or new-found feeling with a charming collectible figurine. Who knows, what might start out as a collectible for you may turn into a family heirloom in years to come. Start the tradition. However, be careful, collecting can be very addicting!
