I want one of the orange and white paws! I like the illustration where
the woman is threatening her cat (or warning her cat, or whatever)
with one of these.


It's Japanese kitsch, but I thought they were pretty cool. And it's
pretty obvious from the illustrations that Crazy Westerners are their
target market (grin).


Hugs and Purrs,

Those are hilarious! Well, if you're gonna go with a back scratcher,
why not have it look like a cat paw?
Although I don't think they are aimed at the Western market. I think
these are aimed at the Japanese market. They have caucasian looking
people in their illustrations, that's true. But the Japanese never seem
to illustrate Asian looking people.
