Rabenschwarz Pet Emporium

Matreshkas ("little mothers") are the distinctive, brightly painted nesting dolls so characteristic of Russian folk art. This whimsical 3"tall wooden Santa Cat is a delightful variation on that festive traditional theme. Filled with the spirit of the season, he hugs his friend the mouse. Open him up and find a gift of four teeny cats within. Children love to take the kitties out onebyone and put them back; then repeat the "surprise" of opening Santa again. A fairtrade artifact, he brings a special joy to the season. For ages 5 and up.
