Elder pet

I found this guy a few years ago at an antique shop and recognized him instantly from the old coloring books, but I had never seen him as a figurine before, which was surprising because I was OBSESSED with looking at pictures of these online along with collecting so many as a kid! My childhood collection is something l'll likely never see again so l was so happy to stumble upon this grandpa cat for only $3, and it inspired me to start seeking them out as an adult (extra glad now that the older styles I grew up with are coming back to stores!) Turns out he’s a cake topper and there’s a pug in this style out there as well! I put him next to my other orange kitty so you can see the generational differences :,)
