Papier Mache Tabby from Thailand

Large and lovely papier mache cat from Thailand!  This yellow tabby is one of my favorites - it is about a foot long, and has huge green eyes, such like my own little princess.  I found this piece at an estate sale several months ago.  It is marked "Thailand" on the underside.

Midwest of Cannon Falls (MCF) Orange Tabby Cat Figurine

Beyond cute!  Orange tabby cat figurine by Midwest of Cannon Falls (MCF).  This little guy is about 6" tall.  It is made of a resin material that is so realistic that I really thought it was wood.  Wonderful expression on his face!   The original price sticker is still attached to the underside of this vintage cat - $11.
