About this Product
If your kitty cat has a mind of his own – and what cat doesn’t?! – you may want to forewarn your fellows with this handy dandy Beware of Cat sign.
I’ve done cats in the standard orange and grey as well as pukey green, neat-o blue and with text that says “Beware of Elmo.”
16 inches x 12 inches
Thicker metal than previous creations, 26 gauge instead of 28 gauge
Center hole with wire loop attached for hanging
What’s New?
--Thicker metal
--New techniques
--Standard size of 12 inches by 16 inches across the board (custom sizes still available upon request, but not as a general offering)
Seems no one in my new home state of Florida likes to sell the thinner, 28-gauge metal I used to use. So we went thicker. Moved up to 26 gauge.
It’s too thick to cut by hand like I used to, so I now use my handy dandy plasma cutter. Massive temperatures cut through metal like butter (and anything else that gets in the way).
Since I’m a big fan of letting my creativity flow, the sign shapes are now a bit more freeform than uniform. So you may get dog legs that are a bit uneven. Or a weirdly shaped tail. If that’s good with you, let’s do it!
See last photo to get what I mean.
Please note: Increased metal prices and additional skill and effort resulted in an overall price increase. Not to mention higher shipping charges for more weight and different location.
Please send any questions and custom requests my way.
Love to hear from you!
Rynski Life: Rynski Art, Books + Play
Meet the Maker
Hi. I'm Ryn Gargulinski. But you can call me Rynski.
I was born with a Sharpie marker in hand. Well, not really. But I discovered the joy of creation very early in my life. My handmade items include custom illustrations, metal yard art – including my signature “Beware of Dog” sign – clay and faux fur fantasy figurines, lucky voodoo dolls, books, paintings and more.
Anything I see that looks like it can be turned into art gets turned into art. Either that, or it sits in my backyard, garage or studio until sometime trips on it enough times to throw it away.
RYNSKI SUCCESS STORY
Ryn Gargulinski [Rynski] is an award-winning writer, artist, coach, Reiki master and dog lover who once traded her artwork on the streets of New York City just to eat and get her daily beer. She has since given up drinking and now has enough money to eat—even organic!
She has also expanded her art into a successful enterprise, her writing and branding services into a thriving business, and her coaching, healing and speaking into a growing practice that has already helped many realize and expand into their true potential.
Credentials include 10 published books, more than a dozen awards, and 20+ years in recovery from alcohol. Don’t forget the two happy hounds, one happy hubby, and one helluva crystal collection.
Her life purpose is to use her creativity, experience and humor to inspire others to live lives filled with freedom and joy. And yes, that includes bringing freedom and joy to dogs.

Shop Policies
Processing Time: Orders are handcrafted and typically ship within 10 business days after ordering. Some orders may take longer based on scope of creation process.
Return Policy: Returns and exchanges are generally not accepted. Exceptions may possibly be made for specific situations. Please contact rynski@rynskilife.com within three days of receiving your order with any questions or concerns.
Care Instructions: Most metal art is designed for indoor or outdoor use. This includes using rust-resistant paint, galvanized sheet metal and clear coat for protection. If used outdoors, be aware of the impact the weather conditions will have on your piece. Outdoor art does best when not in the path of a sprinkler and/or not exposed to harsh winter elements. You may spray a protective coating, such as clear coat, on the piece once a year or more to help preserve the painting.
FAQ's
Do you do custom orders? Yes! Please contact rynski@rynskilife.com with details and I can
provide an estimate for the piece you want created.
Can the signs be put on stakes in the yard? And do you provide the stakes? Yes and no. Yes: The signs work great on outdoor stakes. No: I do not provide the stakes.
You can use a wooden or metal rod, U-bar or T-bar sold at most hardware stores. My metal signs usually come with one hole in the top center and a ready-to-hang hook or chain. If you are planning to use a stake, let me know in advance and I can create an additional hole in the bottom center if desired.
Can the signs be put on fences or walls? Yes. Metal art pieces usually come with one hole in the top center and a ready-to-hang hook or chain. If you are planning to secure your piece to a fence, wall or other fixture, let me know in advance if you would like additional holes created at the bottom or corners of the sign for improved security.
