Vintage Top Cat Toys

I own a set of Top Cat toys from the 1960's. I believe they compose a game consisting of setting up the figures and then trying to knock them over with the accompanying shoes. Usually, when I come across an old book/toy/object, I can find it on the internet. It's fun to see the original packaging, or approximate value, etc. I can't find these anywhere!

I'm hoping someone who sees this might know more about them...

I have a friend who owns the Top Cat set mint in the box. The idea of the toy was to line up the cats on a fence and knock them down with the shoe.
There's a blog about his collection with a picture of it here:

You can contact him with questions at his own blog here:

Yay! Thank you, Garth!

I love the magical internet. I now know, aside from the box, I actually have all the pieces!

I had this set and was a huge fan of the cartoon.
Thanks for posting it because my wife thought I was making it up !

Hello there, I know this post is a bit old but I was wondering if you had these in your collection still and were perhaps willing to sell them? I'm very interested in them and would like to know. If so, you can contact me at heartless_kh (at) hotmail.com. If not, that is alright as well. Thank you for your time!

Sorry. Sold 'em several years back.
