I love a good folk art carved cat, the wonkier the better, and the homely face on this one won me immediately; really, how not to love?! The use of a dark stain for a couple of long, thick stripes plus the tail is pretty great too, with varnish added over the whole thing. I think having this guy perched nearby surely much increase one's empathy quotient toward the rest of the world. Really sweet.

4 3/4" t x 3 5/8" w x 1 1/2" deep and in very good vintage condition, with a few tiny varnish bubbles in a couple of spots.
