No, not the title of a long forgotten Horror ‘B’ movie (though, now I come to think of it, it should have been), but two toys on sale at fredflare.com. Frankly, I’m fed up with Thomas the Tank Engine and I’m looking for something else to buy myself the toddler. The only question is which: Poe, the Cat Lady, or both?
(Incidentally, I twice looked after a house owned by a woman who ran a cats’ charity. It was in a sleepy Cambridgeshire village and there were about 40 cats living inside, and a similar number of feral and semi-feral felines ranging about the garden and local vicinity. At feeding time I had to barricade myself into the kitchen with a lone, depressed dog and give him his tucker before stripping meat from several chickens and opening a few dozen tins of Whiskas - all the while watched through the window by about 30 pairs of eyes. I like cats, but the atmosphere was far more horrifying than anything even Poe managed to dream up. As for the state of the carpets…).

From a purely pratical point of view, the Poe has less swallowable bits and pieces, but the cat lady has lots of potential for play - does she come with a bottle of Chardonnay?

Does the Poe froth at the mouth? That would be pretty fine if it did. They should really include a flash of laudanum too.
Ha! I had the same thought as Puss. All those cats suddenly seem threatening for a toddler.
Is Poe’s raven attached?
Wait a moment. Aren’t they from the same toy company which makes a Nietzsche figure as well? . . .
