Description

Yoh Kakuda is well-known for puzzles with cute animal themes and narrative style, well-exhibited by Silent Cat.  The story given with the puzzle is that although the puzzle’s namesake won’t respond to questions (hence its flat almost sad expression), its tail might.  The workmanship is superb, with a crucial move that’s tricky to find.  All original packing material is included.

Even if you ask this cat a question, she won’t answer you. Only her tail responds. She is so silent.
