Purring pussycat in Brighton Museum


Some time ago remember this cat sitting in the entrance to the Brighton museum, then it looked very big - now a little smaller - have been wondering where it had gone

Now its purrs is a little softer when you put money inside, before a voice used to say 'Help help i am trapped inside this cat, only your money can help me... purrr purrr'

Discovered it is the museum mascot and is paper mache replica of two similar cats wearing a kimono in the museum by Emile Galle c1880
