It comes from the name of one of the first talking dolls. Her name was Chatty Cathy. So now we use the term to describe somebody who talks a lot.

Where can you find information about a German-speaking Chatty Cathy?

Unlike the stuffed animals such as Bugs Bunny- which were English only- the Chatty Cathy dolls had interchangeable discs or tapes- multi-lingual. Here, indeed something educational from Toyland. The movement or action of the Chatty Cathy was thus more complex than the ( Bugs) and ( Mr. Ed) toys and puppets ( the talking horse was made in Puppet form). There were several language sets of Chatty Cathy phrases, it is a good thing, that like Paul and some other handles Catherine is a fairly cosmopolitan name! It is understood there was a Russian-speaking Catherine - that is Chatty Cathy- Katuskya- whatever the word for talkative or chatterbox - and these were sold in the Big City toy counters. There was a brief flurry of some Russian fashion items- particulairly the hats, both fore-and-aft and full round ( the older type, which date to Ivan the Terrible) as a fashion item. As there were two Czarinas named Catherine, the name choice was appropriate. It is not known if the Russian Chatty Cathy was supplied with Russian-style fashions, such as Russian hat, dolman or capelet ( worn over the trench coat in some cases) Trench coat , boots, etc. I have never seen a Russian- speaking Chatty Cathy, but the idea is charming an innocent. There was a German Cathy. Contact Mattel.


What was Chatty Kathy?

Chatty Cathy ( C spelling used) was a classic series of toys made by Mattel, Inc commencing in the early sixties. the unique feature was the chatty-ring on the side of the doll ( or stuffed animal)- the concept was expanded to stuffed animals such as Bugs Bunny, which this author had, and Mr. Ed ( puppet form) one pulled the chatty ring and let go- there was a random order of phrases. From what I understand, and true to type- what with Catherine II (The Great) there was a Russian-speaking version of Chatty Cathy ( girl doll) made with interchangeable tapes. Obviously she had Russian togs as well- the familiar Russian hat, possibly a muff, and boots, etc. I have not seen a Russkie Chatty Cathy but think it was a good idea in those turbulent times- why can"t we have a nice, friendly Russian doll?

How much did chatty Cathy dolls cost the year they were manufactured?

Prices varied., Mattel patented the chatty-ring assembly with a sort of gravity cord record-player ( not a tape player) in the body of the doll. The process was expanded to stuffed animals such as Bugs Bunny and a puppet based on Mr. Ed the talking horse. They were quite expensive for the times. Chatty Cathy had interchangeable discs or record- that could be changed for different play settings- there were even foreign language variants= rumors there was a Russian disc! ( appropriate name- Catherine II, what not?) Both Chatty Cathy and the Chatty-ring ( later expanded to, as I have noted- stuffed animals in the early sixties were and are registered trademarks of Mattel, inc.
