In the 50s it was believed that watching TV in a room with a low light source could make you go blind. These lamps were developed to alleviate people’s fears.

This lamp was manufactured by Lane.

What Allee has to say about this:
I love these Siamese Kitty lamps. There were so many different models made as TV lights. I never understood why some of the cats were so tall as the tall one here because they usually had see-through eyes that glowed from the backlighting but the tall cats were too high to achieve the effect.

What’s attached to the electrical cord with a chain on it dangling behind the cats?
