In Denmark, we have cats of porcelain to place the window...often to at a time (very old-fashioned and more kitsh than beautiful) But back in the old days the sailor's wives used them as a code: If the cat looked out the window their husband was out on sea (and there was "all clear" for other "visitors" ... and if the cats looked into the room the man was at home! I think it's a funny and cute story.
So life-like! The stare is very intense, isn't it? :) Kx
