Bastet Approves, Halloween Too
Halloween: the night when a black cat crossing the street becomes a dire omen, and the cat in question just wanted to get to the food bowl. The ancient Egyptians worshipped cats as gods, the Middle Ages persecuted them as demons, and today they sleep on your couch taking up 90% of the cushion. Roughly consistent.
This is the pumpkin that reconciles them all: a cat pumpkin with pointed ears, big almond eyes staring at an empty spot in the room like they see something you don’t, a tiny nose and a Y shaped mouth, and three whiskers per side, all with more dignity than certain real cats. The stem is there to remind you that deep down it’s still a pumpkin, even if it behaves like a cat.
Of course it’s a lamp. Underneath there’s a 5cm hole for a standard led light: pop it in, switch it on, and the light pours out of the eyes, nose and mouth like the gaze of a cat who just decided to push a glass off the edge of the table. It will. It’s inevitable. A single printed piece: zero assembly.
This is the white version: the ideal blank canvas to hand paint, color in your slicer, or leave as is, elegant like a collectible ceramic.
A Halloween pumpkin that doesn’t shed, doesn’t scratch the furniture, and doesn’t wake you at four in the morning over an empty bowl. The perfect cat, basically.
