I want to buy tile cats/wa mao/瓦猫, the small ceramic cats that people in Yunnan once put on their roofs to keep evil spirits away.

I bought a three-headed one once at a small shop on Beimen Jie that has since closed.

Does anybody know another place in town selling them? Any help is much appreciated.

You can get some 瓦猫, 瓦鱼 at Bakery 88 in Dali, please call Karine or Otto ;-)

Thanks LaoBenDan, another good excuse to head to Dali soon!

They sell "used" ones at the second-hand market by the huge HuaYang Furnishings Plaza.
