Abstract
A novelty item comprising a plush figure, such as half of a cat, having a flexible band of material attached at one end to the figure and at its other end to a hollow tube. During use, the hollow tube is placed within the trunk of a vehicle, and closed on the band, leaving a portion of the band and plush figure outside of the trunk. This gives the comical appearance that a full animal had been closed in the trunk and squashed.
