Crystal Cats in a Clowder? What is a Clowder of Cats?
What is a clowder of cats? A clowder is actually the correct term for a group or colony of cats
. A Kindle is the collective noun for a group of kittens! A Kindle of kittens! I have my own little clowder of cats, both real and fluffy and also ornamental. Here I want to celebrate some of the nicest glass cat figurines I have found. Some, like Lalique, make me wish I had more space and loads of money to spare.
Often I find glass cats in antique malls here and in Canada. I find them hard to resist because there is something so elegant in fine glassware that mirrors the elegance of the cat itself. What could be more elegant or covetted than a Lalique cat?

Lioness and Cub
Pride of Crystal Lions bought in Fort Langley
I think these are Lenox cats too - they were sold as Lenox, but have no "hallmark and date" engraved under the hollow base. I paid $5 CAD in an antiques mall in Fort Langley if I remember right! Lenox or not, my little pride of Lenox crystal lions is my pride and joy! Swarovski Cats and Kittens

Clowder of Lenox cats in crystal
Cats, kittens in crystal
This came from an antiques mall in Coquitlam and cost me $7 CAD I think. It depicts a lovely little clowder of cats in Lenox crystal. Again, no etched brand and date, but still beautiful enough to be wrapped in cotton wool for the flight home to England. This litter takes pride of place on the cat shrine with the glass pride of lions and the crystal grooming cat. Perhaps one day some Lalique cats will join them.... Baccarat Cats
Baccarat Cat Sculptures - so elegant!
My friend has the Baccarat cat on her wish list, as do I. When the big one comes in on the lottery I shall treat us both and buy a pair of Baccarat cats!

- Got cats, but they seem to consider themselves more of a cabal than anything else.
