Cat Door Stops and Wedges
Useful and Decorative, Cat-Shaped Door Stops and Door Wedges
It seems appropriate to have a doorstop that's shaped like a cat. After a few hours of hearing your cat scratch and meow to go Out, In, Out, In, Out again, it's tempting to wedge his tail under the door just to get some peace and quiet... Just kidding!
There are plenty of cat-shaped doorstops and wedges around - and some are remarkably cat-like, too.
Seriously, it makes sense just to prop the door open a bit, and let your cat decide for himself where he wants to be... sometimes...
Doorstops and door wedges aren't just for the benefit of our cats, of course. In fine weather, it's lovely to be able to open the windows and let the fresh air breeze on through, without having your doors slamming shut. Enter the doorstop. And for cat lovers, that doorstop might as well be in the form of a handsome cat. Who knows, perhaps our Moggies can learn a thing or two about being useful as well as decorative, watching the cat-shaped weights and wedges? Nah, that's too much to hope for!

Mini Cat Weights / Door Stops - Made in USA
These adorable little bundles of stuffed cotton Cat Look-alikes are stuffed and weighted with plastic pellets, as you might expect. Small enough (at 6 x 4 x 2.7 inches) to work as a paperweight - which is how they're billed by Fiddlers Elbow, the silk-screening company in New York State that turns them out - but weighty enough (at just over 13 ounces) to keep the bathroom door from slamming shut in every errant draft when your Cat-And-Master is in there, trying to concentrate on his litter box business.
