I Hand-Sculpt People’s Cats To Immortalize Their Friendship

ADVERTISEMENT

“If I can, I want to make a statue for you, my beloved cat, thank you for coming into my life…”

I am Elise, an artist from Asia working in realistic miniature cat statues. Everyone keeps pets for different reasons, but the same thing is that once you start, you will never want to be separated…

Until the day I met my first cat, I never thought I would live with a cat. My first cat sculpting works (using professional clay and acrylic) were finished on September 25, 2015, the day of my cat’s 8th birthday.

I also make custom cat statues for people who love their pets and want a statue to commemorate their friendship.

To make one cat statue takes approx. 30 days. I hope that each hand-made sculpted works, not only the reproduction of the cat’s image, but also convey spirit, condense love and memories.

Unfortunately, this cat passed away because of Feline Infectious Peritonitis when he was 3 months old. This statue is for him.

Whoa... On some of them she matched to each individual stripe! Really impressive

Those are gorgeous. The fact that they actually look like cats makes them stand out from some of the horrors I have seen: that you make them look *so* much like the actual cats is almost miraculous ^_^

She is very good. She even gets the personalities. Sculpting from photos is very difficult!

WOW this is adorable, and for some of the cat "pawrents" it´s a memorial of their kitty who crossed the Rainbow Bridge, I´d love to have such a figurine from my Angel Sisi who just crossed the bridge on the 5th of this month peacefully after she had had progressed dementia with all its horrible symptoms and ZERO quality in life in her last weeks/months...

You did a really good job and very patient in the detail work.

They look so incredibly life-like and alive! And individual, just like the "original" cats. This is serious talent!

Fellow Bored Panda members, there is a "report comment" button that you can push if you feel someone's comments are inappropriate, such as I hate cats comments, who mentions "s.x with cats". I find inappropriate. You can report comment too, if you so wish.

1. It was very sad that the one cat passed away 2. The rest of them were amazingly realistic

These are intricate, detailed, and precise works of art. Truly awesome! I love how you perfectly captured their facial expressions– these are so much better than the factory-made ones I see all the time now. I think it's really amazing that you made a sculpture for that cat…You are an awesome artist :)))
