Serenity Cat
This is your cat, a bundle of fur and calm, a creature of peace and tranquility. Always ready to welcome you home.
Eyes closed. Purring quietly. Sitting curled on the quilted window seat in the morning sun. What warm thoughts she holds as she purrs by the window. Not a care in the world. Taxes, politicians, hurricanes, floods- none of those cross her mind. She wonders what time you will be coming home. She’s looking forward to sitting on your lap and being petted. Oh, to be a cat!
Here now is a curious part of this cat creation. The cat comes from the peoples of the North, who excavate 15,000-year-old woolly mammoth tusks from the thawing Tundra while mining for gold. Ancient woolly mammoth tusk is totally legal in most of the United States. We do not ship to CA, HI, NJ, IL, NY, NV, VT, or Washington DC. They have laws and we respect their laws.
The ancient elephant ivory comes from just above and below the Arctic Circle. The plump cat was carved in Bali, the sunrise citrine was cut in India, and the sunny yellow gem was set in our Portland, Maine shop. The cat is suspended on an 18-inch chain, which places your cat necklace two inches from your heart.
Why We Love This Piece
Cat lovers everywhere know those moments of serenity when the cat happily sits on your lap purring, luxuriating in gentle petting, eyes closed. If you feel tempted, you can click and buy 24/7 or call us Monday through Friday, 9:30AM to 5PM Eastern Standard Time.
In the 45 states we can ship to, there are 44 million cats. Most of them are house cats luxuriating in warmth. Our necklace is smaller than a dime. If you’re sitting across from someone, while the cat carving is distinct, they may not notice your necklace because the cat is sculpted and curled up, sleeping in the sun. They will notice the glint of golden sunshine that your cat is curled around.
Why Cat? Why Not?
You’ve got a cat. Forty-four million cats in the United States. You know this to be true, cats have a personality. Think of your cat. Think of what your cat means to you. Think about a day without your cat. It’s hard to imagine isn’t it, a catless universe? Your cat means so much to you.
Here is a curious thing. We’ve carved this cat from the tusk of a 15,000-year-old, now extinct, woolly mastodon. Yes, individually sculpted each cat from ancient ivory, wrapping it around a symbol of the sun.
Crazy idea: would you invite a woolly mastodon into your living room? You probably wouldn’t even dare to have one tethered to a stake in your backyard. And yet you keep a cat domesticated by 10,000 years of breeding in your house. You feed this recently wild animal breakfast every day.
This piece, this necklace, is a powerful symbol of our human families. You’ve welcomed a wild animal to live with you. Your choice to buy and wear this is your acknowledgement of your special relationship to this creature.
