Cats have an extraordinary sense of balance. And even if they should fall, they hardly get hurt.  It is even said that they always land on their feet.  And it is true: If they fall back first, they first turn the head and front legs towards the floor, then the spine and then back legs.  By stretching the legs and spreading their paws, they stop the fall additionally - like a parachute.  With this ability, they can absorb almost any impact gently.

Fun fact:  Cats can differentiate between salt, sour and bitter, but not sweet.

Schleich products are made of various plastics and dyes, which are carefully selected to meet the respective requirements.  Most typically plastics used are polyvinyl chloride (PVC), thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), in addition to other plastics typical for toys.  Even the material suppliers are subject to strict controls by our quality officers. The dyes used are optimally adapted to the different types of plastic and demonstrate top-rate mechanical and chemical resistance.  They ensure the high durability of Schleich products and make all Schleich pieces saliva and sweat proof as well as abrasion-resistant, and thus ensure that they are completely safe for playing with. Only once a product meets fully all international laws, standards and guidelines for toys is it released for production.  All Schleich articles and materials comply with the national and international toy requirements applicable worldwide, as well as the new European Toy Safety Directive 2009/48/EC and DIN EN 71.

Recommended for 3+.

We love Schleich's realistic animal figures, a quality toy that stimulates the child's imagination as well as teaching them about animals and wildlife.
