Black Cat Animatronic
Story: Survival
Date: 1989
​
Notes: Standing around 50cm high the animatronic was probably made by the Visual Effects Department within the BBC. Primarily made up of black fur with a latex face, numerous wires and cables run through the hollow body of the cat to allow the operator to provide it's movement.
