Little Coloured Bricks

As some Lego masters might build monumental-scaled buildings, or spaceships and space vehicles made out of Lego bricks, other hobbyists just enjoy making cat Lego. Now that might sound crazy and impossible, but it’s not.

Cats are some of the most affectionate creatures out there that is why many Lego builders make them. Although dog lovers are not very fond of cats, whenever they see Lego cats, they still are amazed how these Lego creatures were made.

Families in ancient times owned cats. In some cultures however, cats are depicted as evil creatures making them a “feared” creation. Today, such superstition have grown old and cats are now only considered as pets. Although the usual black cat crossing your path is still considered as bad luck, cats in general are now treated as cuddly fur balls.

Aside from being able to keep the mice away from our homes, they also provide owners love and affection no other pet can give. Some cats even entertain people with their weird habits.

This particular cat, the one in the picture above is probably the most popular Lego cat ever made. This black Lego cat is another one of Nathan Sawaya’s creations. Nathan Sawaya is the lawyer-turned-Lego Master builder and independent Lego artist. Black cats are considered as an omen of bad luck. There’s a superstitious belief in folklore that if a black cat crosses your path, you are bound to have bad luck. In other cultures however, black cats are known to bring good luck and prosperity which cancels out the beliefs of the other culture.

Another creation you can find online is the Maneki Neko. It’s a Lego version of the Japanese Lucky Cat you might see greeting you at a Japanese store or establishment. Although the Lego creation’s arm (foot) might not swing like the original Maneki cats you find in the store, what makes it specially unique is that it is entirely made of Lego.
