Cat Designs
The cat, introduced in 1908 with other non-circus animals,
was made in four designs in regular size. There is no reduced size cat. |

Glass eyes, hemispherical neck, carved head
The glass eyes cat was made with a separate neck joint
to allow for a greater range of head movement. The tail was made from
leather.

Glass eyes cat on hemisphere
The cat was also one of a very few animals chosen to
be mounted on a painted hemisphere. This made a fun toy.
