We thoroughly enjoy browsing through antique stores. I love this cat. I hope someone out there will recognize the mark and tell you more about your purchase.
I looked on ebay at cat figurines hoping to see a similar pottery mark. No luck, but I'll let you know if I see anything similar.
I collected cats for years, I had hundreds of them! When we moved to a smaller house, I sold many of them because I just didn't have the space. I'll check my reference book for the mark.
Hope you had a lovely Mother's Day Sunday.

He is a cutie..I used to have a book that showed all the markings and companies, but I cannot find it!
Nothing wrong with that cat. Actually it has quite a cute look in its eyes.

Yes, things were being rebuilt. They were planting trees then. And they were building bridges to take place of bombed out ones. But when I got there in 1953, after the war, most of the homes people lived in had been rebuilt and looked pretty much the same while I was there. There was not large buildings being built. They did build the observatory."
It's a very nice cat and there's nothing wrong with a grown man buying it. I looked through my Collectors book but couldn't find that particular mark.
I love browsing antique stores, yards sales and other places where odd items collect. This is the closest I could find to the mark on your ceramic cat: http://marksfinder.com/factories-and-potters/Alberti-Carl-Uhlstadt-Germany/
very sweet...I have quite a few in my collection but none with that mark.
