These cat candles appear cute and innocent, but upon burning off the wax, a [metallic feline skeleton](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halloweenthemed-cat-treats) is revealed. Designers Thorunn Arnadottir and Dan Koval have noticed an overwhelming appreciation for cats, and thus have taken a slightly [morbid appreciation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnaholic-cemetery-box) for mousers to the extreme. Once candles are fully burnt, you will be left with a little keepsake of all the memories that once were. The designers are working on a line that will include a whole family of pet-shaped candles, each revealing a surprise after they’re burned. Witness the transformation of sweet tamed kittens turning into grinning metallic devil-like skeletons with sharp claws, teeth bared and an angry fire in their eyes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 5% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Geometric Candles:** Exploring the trend of geometric candles that reveal hidden surprises when burned. - **Morbid Design:** Catering to the demand for unique, slightly dark designs that offer unexpected twists. - **Memorable Keepsakes:** Creating candles that leave behind a sentimental memento after they are burnt. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** Opportunity for home decor companies to offer unique and captivating candle designs that appeal to a niche market. - **Gifts & Souvenirs:** Potential for gift shops to stock these cat-shaped candles as distinctive and memorable presents. - **Artisan Crafts:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for artisan candle makers to create one-of-a-kind designs that stand out in the market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Food-Inspired Novelty Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-of-savage.md) - [Striking Sculptural Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculpture-candle.md) - [Spooky Candle Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-jar-candle.md) - [Beeswax Sculptural Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/greentree.md) - [Uniquely Shaped Pastel Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goober-candle.md) - [Architecturally Inspired Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sfumato-candle.md) - [Animal Patterned Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cow-print-candle.md) - [Realistic Food Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantlers-rations.md) - [Spooky Bong-Shaped Candles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bong-candle.md)
