Featured Mysterious Cat pottery help

I had her for a long time now...she is beautiful and playful looking...looks like she caught something

There seems to be a signature but I couldn't find anything more on my own.

Any help would be appreciated...

Also I didn't do her justice by taking pictures inside with a flash...she is a beauty

 

Well I had that thought also ...but do armadillos look playful?...or did he just caught something ...

thank you for your input

 

Yah I think it's a cat by the ears, sorry don't know who made it.

 

Cool piece. I think it looks Mexican ?

 

Kind of a fat tail for an armadillo.

 

kind of a small tail for a cat.

 

Don't make fun of short tailed cats. Riley is very sensitive.

 

I take that back. The armadillos I've seen had thin tails, but it appears they come with thick tails too and then there is the screaming hairy armadillo

and the pink fairy armadillo



etc.

 

I think you are right.

 

Yah I think you are right about it being an armadillo too!

 

I vote armadillo.

 

Cats rock...even Manx......this though ain't no cat...!

 

Could it be a raccoon? The eyes, the stripe up the middle of the head, and the banded tail?
The paws do look cat-like though. Whatever it is, it's awesome!

 

It may be a foreign animal altogether. I'd scroll through images of South American and Australian animals.

 

Bev, thanks, I wanted to state exactly that when I first began to ponder if it was an armadillo, but I couldn't put the words together. Thank you <3 @Bev aka thelmasstuff
