Abstract: A toy is formed of an elongated, resilient tube with an elongated leather thong-like strip passing through the tube and extending outwardly of the ends of the tube. A knot is formed at one end of the strip to abut the adjacent tube end and to form a stop. The end portion of the strip that extends from the knot is bent back into the inner tube to provide a double thickness strip within a portion of the length of the inner tube. An outer tube formed of a fur-like material, formed of an inner cloth-like sheet with outwardly extending fibers, covers the inner tube. The elongated opposite end of the strip extends outwardly of the inner and outer tubes a considerable distance. The toy is resiliently bendable and compressible, with the amount of compression limited by the contact between the inner tube and the strip so that the portion of the tube which has the double thickness strip within its comprsses to a lesser double thickness strip within it compresses to a lesser amount than the remainder of the tube.
