DOORSTOPS #02 - CAT

✿ ✿ ✿
Doors… they all tend to get slamed closed by a strong gust of wind.
Not only is this extremely loud, but also annoying, when all you want to do is airing out the house and letting in some fresh air.

This will finally come to an end with this beautiful doorstop.
Once the door is open, it stays open. :)

Thanks to the handle you can easily pick it up and move it around or simply out of the way.

When you stuff the Cat with something soft instead, not only will it be less heavy but will become a nice soft toy, too. The doorstop-functionality will be lost then though. ;)
