Remains of My Cat Collection

Through the years I have had many collections. One of my collections when I was a teenager was ceramic cats (knick knacks). I still have a few of them. The one above was my favorite. I paid $2.50 for it. Everyone thought I was crazy to pay that much for a cat. $2.50 doesn’t sound like much, but it was back in 1955. Most of the cats I had cost less than a dollar each. I think I bought this one at a Hallmark store. The little pedestal it’s sitting on I bought in New Orleans when I visited there in 1989. The background for the picture is a table topper that I now use to cover my sewing machine. When I bought a new sewing machine, I kept the old cabinet. Well, that didn’t work real well. It wouldn’t go down inside like the old one did so I used this table topper to cover it. This makes a pretty good background for several pictures I’ve taken. (Victoria magazine in sidebar is one.)

All of these little cats now live in my doll room.
You should hear the music the little band makes. Well, you can hear it if you have a very good imagination.
