Shipping was too expensive for the dealer to want him shipped back, so he became my "free kitty" that needed a fix. Because of the feel on the material, like stone or concrete, I did a little research about what to use to attach the paw back with, including using dowel rods or some type of structural support,,,and decided drilling into the paw may damage it more, and would that be my last choice. I purchased a Gorilla Glue that said it would glue stone, and was weather safe. I made a holding device out of a box, pillows and wadded paper to hold the cat up vertical while the glue dried and I had rubber around the leg for compression. The cat dimensions are about 20" x 15" x 8" tall and he weighs about 5 lbs. The repair looks great, invisible from a distance. Small pieces of stone were broken into crumbs when he arrived and I could do some fine artistic touchups, but we all have battle scars and this just adds to his personality. I have included the web site for Quarry Critters for your info, www.quarrycritters.com and 3 pics. Great talking with you!!
