The Not-a-Cat Cat is the world’s first cat that’s not-a-cat. Pretty simple really. Is it a cat? Yeah, of course it is. It’s just not-a-cat. Okay, let’s start at the beginning. A cat is a cat. The Not-a-Cat Cat is a cat that isn’t. Some of its famous attributes include: luxurious long fur, cuddletude, sticktutiveness, synergy, moxie, an extra ear and noise making. Are you a Not-a-Cat Cat person yet? The Not-a-Cat Cat is stuffed with foam beads instead of traditional poly-fill stuffing for a truly ambiguous shape. The “stuffed” also features luxuriously long fur that leaves you questioning its mortal existence.When the bonus ear is pressed, the little furblob produces a noise similar to a meow, but don’t call it a meow because it’s not-a-cat.
