Orange Tabby Cat Kitten Hand Puppet from Folkmanis

Soft striped fur and wiggly whiskers adorn this ORANGE TABBY KITTEN. Animate the legs and head of this kitten puppet to make her pounce and preen. But be careful--she'll hold onto whatever she can grab and that might just be you!FACTS OF INTEREST:    * The term 'tabby' does not refer to a breed of cat, but rather to the striped, swirled, or spotted pattern of the cat's fur.    * The origin of the word 'tabby' comes from the Attabiyah section of Baghdad which was known for its weavings of striped silk.    * When cats were domesticated 5,000 years ago by the Egyptians, they no doubt had the original tabby coloration of their ancestors.    * In wild cats, the patterning serves as camouflage. This basic feline striping can still be faintly seen in the coats of all kittens.
