# Dubout What is For Dinner Black Cat with Question Mark Tail Statue

## A Cat Who Wants to Know: The Dubout Black Cat Statue

This **Dubout black cat statue** turns a household question into a joke, because his tail forms a question mark. It measures 4.5 in x 3.5 in x 1.25 in in resin with hand painted details.

He looks up and asks What's For Dinner, which in French is Qu'est-ce qu'on mange. Look for the black and white coat, white eyes, whiskers, and sculpted bell on his necklace.

**Albert Dubout** drew the original cat, and Parastone turned the drawing into a three dimensional figurine.

## Why the Tail Says It All

Dubout's animals behave like people, and Parastone's Dubout cats keep that habit. This Dubout black cat statue asks the oldest question in any kitchen.

No caption is needed, because the tail does the talking. In the 1930s Dubout drew crowded scenes with a steel nib and a magnifying glass. Each tiny figure had its own gesture.

This question mark cat figurine condenses that skill into one cat. It suits our [Dubout Cat Collection](https://www.museumize.com/collections/dubout-funny-cats-in-mischief).

## Display and Care

At 0.3 lbs, this French cartoon cat statue sits happily on a kitchen shelf, desk, or windowsill. Like all Parastone Dubout cats, he prefers a dry shelf. Dust him with a soft dry brush. Keep the resin away from damp air and strong sun.

## Albert Dubout in Brief

Dubout was born in Marseille in 1905 and studied at the fine arts school in Montpellier. His first drawings appeared in a student journal in 1923. He drew for Paris magazines such as Le Rire and illustrated Rabelais and Balzac. He also designed posters and theatre sets.

He received the Legion of Honour in 1953 and died in 1976. A museum in his name opened in Palavas-les-Flots in 1992. The French cartoon cat statue carries his humor onto your shelf.
