Thanks George. They are different and I wasn't sure I wanted one at first, but when I went back today and stood by it, I was glad I decided to buy it. I like to collect art by local artists. This is the first sculpture I've gotten. It's by a woman from near Omaha. I met her at the party after the art walk and it was really fun to hear how she sculpted the cats. The stand is a disk brake, they are made of rebar and steel, styrafoam inside and cement on the outside. They are REALLY heavy. She used several colors of cement stain and sealed them so they can be outside. Of course I don't think cats belong outside, so mine will be living by my big fireplace.
