The Best Cat Statues
When you love a cat, it's difficult not to become obsessed with the species. This isn't a bad thing, but it may inspire you to purchase more than the average amount of cat decor for your home. Today, we're diving into cat statues. We think they're the perfect way to spruce up entryways, patios, gardens, and more. Read on to view some of our absolute favorites and discover one or two that might need to come home with you.
What to Look For
We built our guidelines for this cat statue search around three main questions: Is it durable? Is it lifelike? Can it be used in different types of settings? Right away, our findings brought us to Breck’s Resin Cat Statue for its weatherproof material and incredibly detailed design. We also loved the Design Toscano product for its ability to honor cats who have passed away in our lives. Read on to learn more about each of these, as well as to discover our other favorites.
Breck’s Resin Standing Cat Statue
This unique cat statue combines durability with style. Its textured surface is made of resin, which is less likely to break if it falls. The material is also weatherproof, meaning it’s safe to leave in the rain and fade-resistant on sunny days. It’s light enough to move around the garden while still measuring a generous 16.25 inches tall. What’s more, the lifelike design displays the true kindness and curiosity of a kitten as well.
Pros:
- Durable design
- Three ground touchpoints — both feet ad the long tail
- Looks good in gardens, on porches, or near fireplaces
- Ships on plenty of protective packaging
- Makes a great gift for cat-lovers
Cons:
- Higher than average price
Roman Garden Bronze Sleeping Cat Statue
Snooze sweetly
This sweet, sleeping cat statue is made of resin and painted bronze, which allows for a high-end look that doesn’t break the bank. It’s fairly small at around 8 inches long, making it a great fit for both indoor and outdoor displays. The entire piece is carefully crafted with details that include soft fur, a shiny nose, and softly-closed eyelids. We also found it blends well with both traditional and whimsical decor styles.
Pros:
- Realistic style
- Lightweight design
- Weatherproof material
- Serves pet memorial sites well
- Small enough to squeeze onto a shelf in the house
Cons:
- Not large enough to make a statement in the garden
Design Toscano Resin Angel Cat Statue
Never far away
This lovely cat statue has angel wings built in to represent the furry friends that have gone before us. It’s made of a long-lasting, weatherproof resin and painted to look like stone. The details offer a peak into cats’ sweet personalities and offer comfort for grieving owners. Each statue has a fade-resistant coating for safety in sunlight. The piece looks beautiful on memorial sites as well as in other places where its owners can see it regularly.
Pros:
- Affordably priced
- Paintable material
- Can be left outside all year long
- Makes for a thoughtful gift
- Also available in dog form
Cons:
- Lighter than full stone versions
What On Earth Solar Lighted Cat Statue
An illuminating choice
This cat statue features a built-in solar light with LED bulbs for glowy evenings. The statue displays a curious kitten with its paw raised, and the jar looks as if it holds a collection of fireflies. It’s made of resin and painted to look like metal. The subtle details, from fur lines to floral grounds, make the piece just as pretty during the day as it is at night. It can be used indoors if you want to keep safe from the elements, too.
Pros:
- Built-in solar panels
- Can also be turned on and off via a button
- Safe to leave outside in most weather conditions
- Stays lit for most of the night
- A pretty butterfly sits next to the kitty’s leg
Cons:
- The solar panel is on the back, so this can’t be pressed against bushes or plants and still be expected to light up

Frequently Asked Questions
Will outdoor cat statues blow away in the wind?
Some of these cat statues are made of resin with a stone-like style. This makes them look heavy, but they’re fairly light. However, they still shouldn’t blow away if you place them in a space that’s somewhat protected from the wind. This could include near a tall tree, in front of a sturdy bush, etc. And if you prefer, you can bring your cat statue inside during large storms to be extra safe.
Do cat statues make good gifts?
Yes, if you have someone in your life who loves cats, any of these pieces could be a good present. This is because they’re well-made, represent something special, and are easy to make space for.
