Grey Kitty Planter 2.5 In
The Grey Kitty Planter is a glossy ceramic planter shaped like a sitting cat, a Simons Maison exclusive designed in Canada. It is intended for decorative display with small potted plants, standing 6 inches (15 cm) tall with a 2.5-inch (6.5 cm) opening and a 3-inch (8 cm) diameter. The manufacturer states it is for decorative purposes only and advises against planting directly in the planter, though a customer review notes the presence of a drainage hole and plug.

Product Insights
The Grey Kitty Planter 2.5 In by Simons Maison is a compact, glazed ceramic planter that functions as both a live-plant container (with drainage hole and plug) and a desk organizer for pens or small tools, appealing to minimalists and cat lovers as a gift. Its core promise is affordable, exclusive design at $9.50 CAD, but the main tradeoff is that buyers frequently report the ears breaking in transit due to insufficient packaging, and the 2.5-inch opening limits use to mini succulents or standard nursery pots.

Cute cat
This planter was actually larger than I thought and stands 6 inches tall to the top of its ears. It holds a small clear plant pot and works well.
