There are many people that collect cat items. This is a calico cat I found at an estate sale.

They had no idea where it came from.

They had many cat collectibles and when I saw this one, I had to have it.

I have been looking in books, online and other avenues. Can’t find this one anywhere.

It appears to be a calico cat that is a bit dusty nevertheless it is a curious cat.

Looks like it is made of plaster and overlay with thin sheets of material.

It weighs about 2 or 3 lbs and is in fairy good shape.

There are but no bare spots on the cat, no chips are tears.

The bottom has a green felt to keep it from scratching furniture.

No signatures or markings that I can see.

• What was it made for?
• Is is folk art?
• Does it have any collector value?
