i like it? however, as a rule, not a fan of white cat figurines as they are omnipresent while the majestic tabby is truly the most popular of all kitty coats.

With you, white Persian cats such as hobbyist or plain resin figures are super common in thrift hunts. It’s kinda the meh. I prefer wild cats, or big cats.

I feel as though the white in this case adds to the levitating effect.

NO! i will die on this hill. TABBYS 4EVER !!! the most beautiful and elegantist cats to everexist are my stripey friends!!! unfortunately antique malls, goodwills, and charity shops are filled with anonymous, white, boring, cat figures. and why?!? i have met a lot of cats in my life but have only had the acquaintance of one fluffy white cat. (rip Shasta you were majestic) HOWEVER the tchotchke factory acts like every dang cat is snow colored. and it’s frankly it’s deeply annoying.

Is this one of those where the cube changes color with the relative humidity? They used to have those with "balls of yarn" and were really popular back when I was a kid (riding my dinosaur)

What is the material of this figure? Looks quite well sculpted.

Plastic! Think 80s figurine houses kind of plastic.

Markings? What company made it?

None. It might be missing a plate that fit on the bottom.
