Assignment 8 – Toy Design

  • Name: Cat Deity
  • Age:???
  • Species: A mixture of octopus and cat
  • Favorite food: Fish
  • Favorite activity: Sleep

Cat Deity is a mysterious, ancient being with the body of a cat and tentacles of an octopus. Lived in a temple, it adores sleeping in the sun. Fish is its favorite food. It looks evil, but it is very kind.

Story:

A young person discovered a dark temple. Inside slept the Cat Deity—its large eyes closed, tentacles slowly swaying in its dreams. 

The creature’s strange form—fur and suction cups, whiskers and writhing limbs—frightened the person. The person reached for the weapon in panic.

Sensing fear, the Cat Deity opened its golden eyes. Instead of attacking, it purred softly. Its tentacles gently reached out into a heart shape. 

The person’s fear melted. The creature wasn’t a monster—it was offering kindness. The Cat Deity blinked slowly, then tucked itself back into sleep.

Kinetic Element:

Tentacle Forms Heart Shape: The tentacle slowly lifts and curls into a heart shape in front of the Cat Deity.

Use two flexible arms like iron wire connected to a wind-up mechanism with gears that could rotate the tentacles to form a symmetrical heart. Each “half” of the heart is one curved section of the tentacle.
