"Bad, bad kitty!!! Leave my yarn ball alone!!"
I saw this type of prop at GrandinRoad.com one day last year during Halloween season, and decided to make it myself out of plywood and PVC (for support from behind). Only took a day to make them -- she is almost 5 feet tall. Any one else make one?
I just found one for sale on line a minute ago at E-Bay in England.
My total cost to build was under $20 for wood, PVC and flat black spray paint.

Looks great. It works well and contrasts great with the already white backdrop. I bet the detail cutting took alot of time but turned out great.

Jigsaws rule!! The broom is supposed to be the other direction (bristles down) but I like to do subtle humor sometimes. Plus, we are dog people -- 6 of them now (don't worry, 5 acres to run around on) and I don't care for cats all that much.

Awesome, I make mine from pink foam, but they would be too light to hold anything. I have a big black cat, ghouls, a ghost, half of a wolfman (put behind a bush) and a 'punisher' skull.

Looks great! I love black cats so I might have to try a cat next year. Wonder how it would look on a window seal with the light from the window to light him up?
Thanks for posting!"Where there is no imagination there is no horror"
