The exact number produced and signed was not disclosed, but said to be fewer than 50 hand signed -as they were offered in a "very limited edition".
Have you seen Ai Weiwei's cats?
In 2022, Kettle’s Yard Castle Street (Cambridge) windows feature Ai Weiwei's 'Cats wallpaper’ (2015). 'Maple and Birch' are two cats belonging to Ai Weiwei and his son Ai Lao and they even hung out in the windows during the exhibition.

‘I am like a cat. Cats can play for a whole day’ - Ai Weiwei in The Guardian
Quote from Ai Weiwei:
"I like cats very much because of their independent character, alertness and understanding of human beings; I have feelings approximating to reverence for them. Cats have been regarded as psychic animals since ancient times, no matter in China or ancient Greece. What’s even more interesting is that if a selfie of mine would be seen by 100 people, a cat photo would be seen by 1000 people. I believe that everyone can share this happiness.
Ai Weiwei."
