Cute handmade cat in a christmas tree 12″ tall…
December 15th, 2009
As I try to get in the holiday spirit, I keep finding things that get me out of it. The weather, trying to think of gifts, dreading travel – it all weighs on me.
Then this comes along. A wilting Christmas tree, wrapped in barbed wire and wearing a couple dreary, rust-colored stars. The cat is kinda cute, but is it supposed to be an ornament, or something the tree has captured? And why does it have wings, anyway? I’ve never seen the TV special in which children send holiday wishes to The Winged Black Christmas Cat.
This is not my merry Christmas.
LOL – I didn’t see the cat for at least a minute, I thought it was the “wings”
How anyone can expect another person to pay two dollars for what looks like a primary school project amazes me
Looks ill planned, poorly constructed, and cheaply made. They shouldn’t be offering this as a handmade item, they should mass-produce it by child-labor in china and charge $19.95 at walmart. Then it would fly off the shelves.
I think the cat is a jesus cat and those aren’t wings, those are the cross-pieces of the cross it’s nailed to. Very Christmas. Ho ho ho.
The cat has no arms. Or legs.
That brown bit’s no cross, it’s a obviosly a surfboard. Paraplegicat was trying to ride the next curl out of this travesty, but Treevil apparently had other plans for her.
Am I the only one that sees the ‘tree’ as looking like the head of some antagonist edited out of the final release of Pink Floyd’s ‘The Wall’?
Are we sure that the cat was not impaled by a peanut? I’m pretty sure the cat was impaled by that peanut, which blew its arms off during impact. It would explain the shocked button eyed look.
I’m going to agree with you on the impaled by a peanut theory only because it made me laugh SO hard.
OK, this one is truly “Item not as described” because I fail to see how this thing is “cute.” Unless perhaps it was made by a mentally-challenged client in a care institution on craft day.
The valium was particularly good that day.
See, stuff like this is why people look at me funny when I say I like to make crafts. They’re picturing this.
The cat was probably supposed to be the angel on top, hence the wings. i definitely wouldn’t want that thing looking over me though!
At first I thought it was a baked-potato holder!
that ‘tree’ could be the centerpiece in town square in the INAD town….
Rofl
O, and then on odd days we can dance around it. Naked!
Zero takers on this outstanding example of primitive folk art? They all must be waiting until the last minute to start the bidding war.
Yeah, that’s it.
BTW “Primitive Folk Art” is an artsy-fartsy way of saying “crap”.
Yes, but it has to be misspelled “primative,” as in made by primates. By the same token, chabby chic = white trash deco.
Looks like an old Dr. Who monster.
I thought it was Trogdor.
This needs to be on http://craftastrophe.net stat!
INAD: this is NOT cute. I don’t know WHAT it is, so not sure if there’s a tree or a cat involved. But definitely NOT CUTE. Ugh, blech.
Does that cat have bacon wings?
wtf this guy should pay money to get it out of the house not get money
