A Cat Mask for You, M-E-O-W!!

1990.  For all the Jolly Birds.  Wear this mask and be the coolest cat in town this weekend.  "Rum Tum Tugger is a curious cat."  Okay, I was watching The Premiere Collection Encore by Andrew Lloyd Webber while preparing the BOOTS paper dolls to post.  Even though there are no songs from Cats on the video, I started singing about Rum Tum Tugger which then led to posting this goofy mask.  Gotta love David Essex performing "Oh, What a Circus".  Anyway, enjoy the weekend.
