But it's CATURDAY. Why didn't I draw a CAROUSEL CAT???
→ Historic Carousel Cats
↑ ooh, different sculpt than the standard— I'm seeing "zoomies" here not the traditional leap/romp.
yes, this photo is out of focus but the first carousel cat I've seen that doesn't have a fish or a bird (or something) in its mouth!! Scary fangs!
You couldn't ride a cat, even a big cat, in real life. (Sorry, He Man). Cats move their spines too much when they run so they couldn't have a weight of a rider pressing down on them. You could sit on their head if it was a REALLY enormous cat.... or hang onto their fur, I guess.

The model for the chicken (with different legs) revolves on the Boston Common carousel The real-life zebra (in different livery) is on the Memphis Zoo carousel.

If you have to stage a difficult conversation, put it somewhere unlikely and distracting, like on a carousel.
(The really tough confrontations and interventions, though, you have them on a rollercoaster or a free-fall drop.)

i get so emotional when i see toys in museums because how many children played with it before it ended up here? was it someone’s favorite toy? are those cracks from time or from a child loving it too hard? did a child cling to it in the night when they were afraid? there’s so much love stored in them but now they sit behind glass in museums where no one can touch them, when their sole purpose was to be touched and loved. do they wonder why no one loves them anymore?
