(Buena Vista, 1993) This black cat can be seen in the opening, running across the scene and jumping on a garbage can, it is made of foam latex and has a wire armature since its delicate scale forbid the use of a larger machined armature. Measures 6 in. long. Exhibits some cracking of latex but remains in very good condition.
