Description
Give a sunny windowsill a bit of attitude with the Cohasset Gifts & Gardens Harley Tiger Cat Planter. Harley is a squat, round-cheeked tabby in rusty orange with dark tiger stripes, a cream chin and chest, and a pair of wide white eyes that glance sideways as if something just moved across the room. Two short pointed ears frame the opening on top of his head, so whatever you plant becomes a leafy tuft of fur. At just under 4 inches tall, this Blobhouse cat planter holds a single small succulent or cactus and looks right at home beside a coffee mug.
Key Features
- Tabby markings: Orange and rust color washes with dark stripes and a pale chest read as a proper tiger cat from across the room.
- Sideways stare: Big white eyes with off-center pupils give Harley the startled look of a cat mid-pounce.
- Drain hole: Like every Blobhouse planter, Harley drains from the bottom, so roots never sit in standing water.
- Compact size: At 3-7/8 inches tall, the cat planter fits a narrow sill, a bookshelf or a bedside table.
- About Cohasset Gifts & Gardens: The Blobhouse line of animal planters was designed by artist Gesine Kratzner and is distributed by Cohasset Gifts & Gardens, which sells it through garden centers.
How to Use It
Plant Harley with a gritty succulent mix and a small rosette, a haworthia or a spiky little cactus, then settle him on a saucer to catch drips from the drain hole. Water only when the mix is dry, which is every week or two indoors. Place the cat planter where the sideways glance lands on something, such as the edge of a kitchen counter, a mantel or a desk beside your monitor. Keep him out of a full-sun south window in summer if you plant a shade-loving houseplant, and rotate the pot now and then so the plant grows evenly. Harley pairs naturally with the dog planters from the same line, and he also makes a quick gift for a cat lover.
