Abstract: |
The invention is a protective type mitten or glove for use as a toy with which to play with a kitten, cat, or similar sharp toothed and/or clawed animal (i.e., raccoon, ferret, etc.). The glove extends well up the forearm past the wrist, nearly to the elbow. The invention is provided with eyes and/or a nose that rattles. In addition, it has a protective material, such as heavy denim, leather, vinyl or the like, between the outer covering and the inner lining. Alternatively, if the protective inner material is sufficently protective to a hand and arm, the lining may be omitted.
