About Our Cat Garden Ornaments
We stock 8 cat garden ornaments across three materials: frost-resistant reconstituted stone, powder-coated cast metal, and hand-finished bronzed resin. Stone pieces are cast in British workshops and cured for a minimum of 28 days before shipping. Metal cats are cast in iron with a verde bronze patina applied by hand. The bronzed resin Cat and Mouse is finished with a multi-layer antiqued coating that mimics aged bronze.
The range covers classic and character poses. You will find sitting cats in stone, sandstone, and metal, a lying cat in cast iron, a scratching cat in reconstituted stone, and two distinctive character pieces: the Egyptian Cat inspired by ancient Bastet statues and Dick Whittington's Cat at nearly half a metre tall. Prices start at £42 for a compact metal cat and go up to £299 for the Dick Whittington's Cat in reconstituted stone.
Every piece is designed for year-round outdoor display. Browse our wider animal garden ornaments range for more wildlife sculptures, or add a bird garden ornament beside your cat for a playful garden scene.
Why We Chose This Range
"Cat ornaments are one of our most requested categories, so we were picky about what made the cut. Every stone piece here is solid cast, not hollow. The metal cats use a three-coat verde bronze finish that actually improves with age rather than flaking. We dropped several suppliers whose pieces looked great in photos but felt cheap in hand. The Cat and Mouse at £99 is probably our most-gifted ornament in the entire shop."

Stone Cat Ornaments
Five designs in frost-resistant reconstituted stone and sandstone. The Sitting Cat (£55) comes in both grey stone and warm sandstone finishes. The Scratching Cat (£119) captures a classic feline pose in solid cast stone. The Egyptian Cat (£129) and Dick Whittington's Cat (£299) are larger collector pieces weighing 5-8kg each.
Metal Cat Ornaments
Two compact designs in powder-coated cast iron with verde bronze patina. The Sitting Cat Metal (£42) and Lying Cat Metal (£42) are our most affordable cats. Both weigh under 1kg, making them easy to position on walls, steps, or windowsills. The finish resists rust through multiple UK winters.
Character & Gift Pieces
The Cat and Mouse Bronzed (£99) shows a cat stalking its prey in hand-finished antiqued bronze resin. It is our best-selling cat ornament and most popular gift piece. The Dick Whittington's Cat (£299) is a large stone sculpture standing nearly 50cm tall, based on the famous London folklore character.
Choosing a Cat Ornament by Garden Style
Cottage gardens: Stone Sitting Cat or Scratching Cat blend naturally with planting. Modern patios: Metal Lying Cat or Sitting Cat in clean verde bronze. Period gardens: Egyptian Cat for formal settings. As a gift: Cat and Mouse Bronzed arrives in a presentation box and suits any garden.
Expert Tip: Placing Stone Cat Ornaments
Stone cat ornaments weigh 3-8kg, which keeps them stable in wind but can cause sinking on soft ground. Always set stone pieces on a paving slab, flat rock, or compacted gravel pad. Placing directly on damp lawn will cause the base to sink unevenly within a few months, risking cracks along the base edge. For wall-top placement, use a bead of exterior adhesive to prevent wind rocking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Reconstituted stone is the most durable choice for UK gardens. Stone cat ornaments weigh 3-8kg, resist frost down to -15°C, and develop a natural moss patina that makes them look more authentic over time. Metal is best for compact spaces where weight matters. Bronzed resin offers the most detailed finish for character pieces.
Brush off loose debris with a dry, stiff-bristled brush. For deeper cleaning, use plain water and a nylon brush. Avoid pressure washers, which can erode surface detail on reconstituted stone. If you want to keep a clean look, wipe monthly. If you prefer the aged moss look, leave it alone and nature will do the work within 6-12 months.
Yes, all our cat ornaments are designed for year-round outdoor display. Stone pieces are frost-resistant to -15°C. Metal pieces have powder-coated finishes that resist rain and frost. Bronzed resin is UV-stable and waterproof. The only precaution is to avoid placing the base directly in standing water during prolonged freezing spells.
Stone cats weigh 3-8kg depending on size. The Sitting Cat (stone) weighs around 3kg. The Dick Whittington's Cat weighs approximately 8kg. Metal cats are lighter at under 1kg each, making them easy to reposition. The Cat and Mouse bronzed piece weighs around 2kg. All weights are listed on individual product pages.
Position cat ornaments where they create a natural surprise. Sitting cats look convincing on wall tops, gateposts, or beside doorways. Lying cats work on steps, windowsills, or patio edges. The Scratching Cat suits a spot beside a tree trunk or fence post. Place stone pieces on firm, level surfaces to prevent sinking into soft ground.
Cat ornaments are one of our most popular gift categories. The Cat and Mouse Bronzed (£99) is our best-selling gift piece and arrives in a presentation box.

Our metal cat ornaments are treated with rust-resistant verde bronze finishes. The cast iron is powder-coated and then hand-painted with a patina that protects against moisture and UV. For extra protection, apply a clear exterior lacquer spray once a year in spring. If minor surface rust appears, rub with fine wire wool and recoat.
