A Very Strange Christmas Countdown
Open one numbered compartment each day and meet another gloriously awkward medieval cat. By Christmas, you will have a whole odd little court to display.
- 24 different cat characters to discover
- A daily reveal that lasts through December
- Made for display long after the countdown ends
Take a Closer Look at Those Faces
These are not polished palace cats. They are wide-eyed, suspicious, dramatic, and full of the strange personality that makes old medieval animal art so memorable.
Each reveal gives you a new expression, pose, or costume to inspect—and a new favorite to argue about.
Give December a Little Variety
Traditional countdowns are over in a bite. This one turns every morning into a tiny reveal—and leaves you with something funny to arrange, photograph, and keep.
It is an easy way to add a playful ritual to the busiest month of the year without adding another complicated holiday project.
Open One. Discover One. Display One.

For the Friend Who Loves Weird Cats
Part holiday countdown, part conversation piece, and entirely more memorable than another mug. It suits cat lovers, medieval-art fans, bookish friends, and anyone whose taste runs pleasantly strange.
A gift they get to open 24 times—not just once.
Compare Favorites Over Coffee
Open the day together, inspect the newest face, and decide whether it is charming, cursed, or somehow both.
The ritual is quick, but the shared joke is the part people remember.
