Description
Taro is an old gray Cat, never seen without his colorful checkered frock coat, which gives him the look of Harlequin. He runs Bobbins', a venerable toy shop in The Heights of Cat Tree City.
In front of his wife, he pretends to chase away the Kittens who dawdle in his aisles. In truth he adores them: the moment she looks away, he slips them sweets and lets them play freely.
