A Roll-Over Cat

In 1958 a friend of my dad went to Hong Kong and when he returned he gave me a roll-over cat with black rubber ears. That was the first tin toy I had.

This roll-over cat which I obtained from Cromwell's auction (Lot 124) was made in Germany (US Zone), the tinprinted tabby with a yellow ball reminds me of my cat Bubu. She is a spoilt, adorable cat. I always love cats and for the last 12 years living in Australia we led a catless life until the day we bought a house. In Australia pets are not allowed to be kept in flats or apartments.

This roll-over cat moves in wide circles, rolling over occasionally, in very good working condition.
