How long ago was it when the children played with the Little Wooden Cat?

The Cat Toy

        Egyptian children usually played with a toy called the Little Wooden Cat over 3,000 years ago. The toy has only a couple moving parts. The first one is the cat has a movable jaw; it is one of the several surviving figures with moving parts. Some moving parts include a wag-able tail. As you can see this must have been a fun entertainment for the little children.
