If there are pets in the home it is cute to have minis painted to real life ones.[/quote]

I did that too, and even now I can see them and immediately start to miss my beloved Zabo and Warlock, they were members of our family for over 20 years. Their lookalikes sit on the second floor porch railings, one all black and one a Tuxedo cat, forever reminding us of the original ones. These started out in the 90s as rubber pencil toppers, and were so life like that I couldn't resist buying them.
