I love her, what can I say? She has been the inspiration for many silly, self indulgent storyboards, a few stop motion shorts which have vanished into the ether or exist in the basement of an insane person (not this insane person, just to be clear). And I find her to be just perfect. I have only 3 of these, though I have searched high and low for more since I found them in gift shop in North Hampton, Massachusetts nearly a billions years ago. All of them barely work at this point, and have yellowed a bit, but I love them just the same. How can one resist the adjustable tail, the pink stripe down the back, the pink eyes, slightly rolled up and communicating either being jaded or a total abandonment of hope……I’ll have to see if I can get her walking again, and youtube it…..I even love the sound she makes when she attempts to walk haltingly, paw after paw, never giving up……..you gotta love her spirit……….

I love her because she looks like a Husky. And sometimes she looks like a wolf.
I definitely love that you love her so much and have even taken on her namesake.
The pink stripe down the back reminds me of the way that the color holds on some of the Mobley animals, although I think it was the fake Mobley, the elephant, that it reminds me of the most.
I wonder why they were so stingy with the pink on this kitty so as to hold it to one stripe? Though I do see that they at least allotted some for her nose as well as her eyeballs, which makes them look bloodshot. Even better.

she does have that wolf/husky thing going on! and yeah, i DO love her…when I found her in this gift shop, i about passed out…then i went through several boxes of wind up toys to find as many f her as i could….i even left my number in case they could order me more…:) nuts, i know….i love how far the wind up device sticks out of her side…
yeah, she’s got the mobley coloring alright….ya know, the elephant is a real mobley…the fake one is that bight blue cat with fixed eyes and huge eyelashes…..she’s an italian knock-off….

the polkadot pillow background is magnificent as well…
windupkitty
ha! thanks! one of my greatest regrets is not buying more of these pillows or the upholstery that they were made of….i got these at ikea years ago and they were only 2 bucks or something! i LOVE them!

This is the most dangerous looking kitty!
windupkitty
oh, yeah, she IS dangerous…back in the days of having access to a video lunchbox (and people who knew what to do with them, since i had no idea), she battled all sorts of historically evil characters…..she’s pretty much indestructible….

Hi Windup Kitty, Ive never seen one before, it reminds me a little of your chubster boy in your profile picture !
windupkitty
hahaha! yeah, it does kinda look like Casper (the beast!) he’s so cross-eyed, i bet he’d love it if he could get his eyes to roll up in opposite directions like this wind up!!
