Cabbage Patch Kids Koosa Cat Doll

This is a Cabbage Patch Kids Koosa Cat. The Koosas of Wykoosa Valley were ‘pets’ for the Cabbage Patch Kids and came in 3 varieties- cats, dogs and lions (lions? Why yes, of course lions- what kid doesn’t have a lion in the back yard?). They were designed in 1983/84 by Appalachian Artworks and Coleco, and being pets, Koosas did not come already named; you could send in the included certificate to get a name sticker for your Koosa to attach to the tag on his/her collar. They had cloth bodies and moulded vinyl heads with shaped ears and various fur’dos ranging from topknots to full yarn manes around the face and even came in a CPK-style box with holes poked into the side for air. and went to market in 1985.
