Rum Tum Tugger Cat is a wonderfully expressive limited-edition artist cat designed and handmade by Susan McKay of Bears of the Abbey. With his soft cream coloring, oversized paws, bright eyes, and wonderfully pouty expression, he has the kind of quirky personality that makes an artist-made animal especially memorable.
He is created from tipped curly mohair, giving his coat a beautifully textured, slightly tousled appearance, and is trimmed with ultrasuede for added detail. His glass eyes, carefully shaped face, and hand-finished features give him a distinctive character that is both sweet and a little mischievous.
A delicate antique lace collar circles his neck and is finished with a cheerful multicolored silk ribbon bow, adding a playful touch of color to his soft neutral palette. From his tiny stitched paws to his expressive face, every detail reflects the handcrafted charm associated with Bears of the Abbey.
Rum Tum Tugger measures approximately 6 inches tall and comes with his original Bears of the Abbey tag. Best of all, this cool cat requires no litter box.
His name was inspired by Rum Tum Tugger, one of the memorable feline characters in T. S. Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, the collection that later inspired the musical Cats. A whimsical and distinctive collectible, Rum Tum Tugger would make a delightful addition to any collection of artist bears, cats, and other handcrafted creatures.
