LUCY CAT
(10106)
Uh oh. See that cat? The one
with the bum eye, playing the fiddle for pennies
by the bus stop? Thats Lucy. Better check
your wallet and hide your pet fish, cuz
shes bad news. Dont let that sad tune
fool you -- shes been giving the slip to
the Constable since she was lapping sour milk
from an old tambourine with the rest of her
unfortunate litter. Shes in with that
shifty band of alley cats who caterwaul behind
the music shop at all hours of the night. On
Thursdays they hold closed door Knitting
Club meetings. Thats what the sign
says anyway. Lucy is 11 inches tall and has
movable arms. He is available here by himself or
in a PUPPET
SET with five of his companions.

LIONEL LION
(207)
Lionel Lion is not your average
lion lounging around the jungle while his
favorite mate brings home a wildebeest to serve
for dinner... No, you won't see Lionel standing
on an outcropping of rock looking down at his
subjects below. Not interested in pursuing his
heritage as "King of the Jungle,"
Lionel migrated to London here he went to Oxford
and majored in business applications. Now the
successful CEO of a large railroad company
(electric, of course), Lionel is looking toward
retiring "away from it all." Perhaps,
he confides, "... on an outcropping of
rock..." somewhere in a jungle, far, far
away. While Lionel is a Giant of Industry,
here he is only 12 inches tall. Our Lionel Lion
has a very expressive movable mouth. Click on the
image to see a more detailed picture of Lionel.

LAMPWICK
LION #LT20L
Grandson of the famous lion who
roars at the beginning of motion pictures,
Lampwick was named after his father Lampwick Lion
who stared in the local San Jose, California
children's morning TV show: "Hocus
Pocus."

LEON LION
(#32017)
As Leon likes to point out to
just about anyone who will listen, lions are
generally known as "The King of
Beasts." Adding to Leon's prominence, is the
little known fact that most packaged goods carry
his trademark somewhere upon them (ie. Tear along
the dotted Lion). Leon is 10 inches tall and,
no.. he doesn't come with any dots!
|

LEONARD LION
(2562)
The "King of Beasts"
is well represented by this up and coming new
actor from the Broadway play: The Lion King
(c). In fact, Leonard is so good at acting
that you won't believe that he is just a 13 inch
tall Hand Puppet. If he choses to do so, he may
convince you he's a 15 foot alligator... or maybe
a 5 inch parakeet! He's THAT good.

THEODORE
TIGER (206)
Ted here likes to tell people
that he's a thespian because of the startled look
he gets. He then goes on to explain that means
'actor' and that's his profession. His most
famous role was in television when he starred as
the "Put a tiger in your tank!" tiger
for a major oil company. He says it was a bit
cramped and his fur smelled of gasoline for
months afterward... but it paid well. Our
Theodore Tiger is 12 inches tall and has a very
expressive movable mouth. Click on the image for
a more detailed picture of Ted.

TWIGGY TIGER
(#32018)
People are always asking Twiggy
how he got his black stripes and his answer is
always truthful and simple: "I was born with
them!" So one day Twiggy decided to spice up
the story a bit and see if anyone caught on. He
said that he was born with back fur and on his
first birthday his mother gave him a paint set.
Since the prettiest and brightest color in the
set was orange, that's the color he decided to
paint his fur. Of course his mom was very upset
with her new orange colored son so she took him
to the river where she scrubbed him with soap and
sand for three whole days trying to get the
orange paint off. Unfortunately, she could only
get small stripes of the orange off and so that's
why Twiggy says he looks like he has orange fur
with black stripes. Twiggy is 10 inches tall.

TERRY TIGER
#LT20T
Terry's dad, Ferocious Tiger
and his mom, Voracious Tiger, in keeping with
family tradition, named their infant son Terrible
Tiger. And, as often happens with such labels,
they soon prove to be quite inappropriate.
Terrible was anything but terrible. A more
cuddly, lovable, polite vegetarian there never
was and because no one could say his name and
keep a straight face, everyone agreed to call him
by his nickname 'Terry' instead. Still, Terry
does retain one family trait and that's his
terrible roar.

THUNDER
WHITE TIGER #32004
As most of you know, cats do
not like the rain... mostly because rain is so...
wet! Big cats are really no exception to this
rule. Of course, big cats like Thunder Tiger
here, often go fishing by splashing out into
rushing streams and scooping fish right out of
the water... but no-one says they have to like
doing it. On the contrary, Thunder would much
rather have his fresh fish (with tartar sauce and
a lemon wedge on the side) served to him on the
nice, dry, bank of the stream . Thunder is 12
inches tall.

RAGS WHITE
TIGER #LT20WT
Named after his
favorite TV show 'Crusader Rabbit', Rags has been
fond of rabbits ever since he was a little tiger
cub and was adopted by a family of fluffy bunny
rabbits. Even though Rags soon found that he
could out-hop and out-run his half-brothers and
sisters, he didn't do very well at what most
fluffy bunny rabbits refer to as 'their main
calling' which is to offer baskets of colored
eggs to children during Easter.* Every time Rags
would say "Happy Easter" the children
would run and hide because it sounded so
ferocious. It is unfortunate that in tiger
language, "Happy Easter" sounds almost
exactly like "I'm Going to Eat You." As
a result of this, Rags now only speaks when you
pat his head.
This puppet has a Sound Box
hidden inside. Just press the back of his head
and Rags will speak to you! If you are brave
enough to hear Rags speak right now, press the
button under his picture.
*A Christian
holiday.

CHEETAH
(2913)
The cheetah is the only
feline with non-retractable claws and pads so
they cannot grip things. This means that they
cannot climb vertical trees, but they can reach
easily accessible branches. The reason for this
difference becomes clear when you note that the
cheetah has by far the fastest land speed of any
living animal between 70 and 75 mph and
has the ability to accelerate from 0 to over
62 mph in three seconds. Can you imagine
what a stuck claw could do here? Our Cheetah Hand
Puppet is 19 inches long and 12 inches tall and
has a movable mouth. Click on image for a

#NP8074S
WHITE CAT
This white cat was known in the
neighborhood backyards as "Scrappy the Dog
Grinder" but after being adopted and renamed
as "Fluffy Puffysuff" he sort of
dropped out of circulation. Scrappy... um...
Puffy is 12 inches tall with movable paws.

KITTY CAT
TRIO
One day these three Domestic
Shorthairs decided to form a group and break into
show business. They practiced their tunes for
many nights before testing out their talents on
real live people. Everyone at the audition was
very polite and clapped loudly. But the problem
is... no one ever wants to hear them sing a
second time. Go figure? On the left is Tony
(NP8074M), in the middle is Perry
(NP8076M), and on the right is Bing
(NP8073M). Each is 15 inches long.
