Me With a Bunch of Stuffed Critters

April 18, 2020 By: Summer Samba41 Comments

somali cat posing with her stand ins

When my human was clearing out the house last year, she got rid of a bunch of stuffies. Not all of them, mind you. She kept “a few.” You are about to see how many “a few” means. And these aren’t all of them. Maybe not even most of them. Anyhow, I’m starting with my stand ins. My human used to use them when she was setting up the studio lights. Now she just uses a gray card, so they’ve retired. I’m not sure why they’re still sticking around.

somali cat with a bunch of office stuffies

Here are some of the office stuffies. Not all of them. My human used to pick up a lot of cat stuffies. She also found the horned toad one somewhere. Not sure where the frog came from. There are actually more than just these sitting in the office bay window.

somali cat with winged cat stuffies

There is a story behind these four winged fairy cats. Back in the early 2000s, they were part of a series. And this shop in central California used to stock them. So whenever my human stopped at this place, once or twice a year, she would pick one up. She thought they were the coolest things ever. She managed to get these four before they stopped making them. If she really wanted, she could find more used on eBay. But I’m not encouraging her.

somali cat with three foot long red plush iguana

And there is also a story behind this three-foot long red plush iguana, which is my human’s favorite stuffie. She got it for herself for her birthday in 2003. I think it came from CVS. Where ever she found it, she knew she had to have it. And it has been here ever since. Sparkle hated it. (It first made an appearance in this blog post.)

I really like it. It’s a good place to make happy paws on. My human used to have it on the bed, but that was a long time ago. She now keeps it on the dresser, with the winged fairy cats.

I think my human has gotten over her stuffie fixation. But you never know.

    Oh my gosh, I have the fairy cat (I call it butterfly cat, lol) in blue! I love her! Butterflies, cats and blue are my favorite things, so the combo was perfect! I like the iguana and I counter it with a 7 foot long pink and purple snake I won at a fair! I love stuffies too! But fluffy kitties are the best!!

    We’re not surprised your human has a stuffed lizard! Our mom got rid of all of her stuffies except for a teddy bear.

    I kind of see dollar signs when I look at
    a lot of stuffed animals. I know how they
    cost! We used to have quite a few too -mostly
    gone now though. They are quite attractive
    though.

    Those are some neat toys. Even though mom is way too old to play them, she’s eyeing a couple of your stuffies.

    Stay safe.

    Whoa! I wouldn’t have thought your human played with stuffies. TW has the Peeps’ collection and there’s a cow collection and some licensed figures like Peppermint Pattie (which I posed with and should have been our P), Cartman and Oscar the Grouch who I also posed with.

    That iguana is pretty cool. The mom still has a few Beanie Babies around here…mostly the cat ones of course. She may make us pose with them someday. But we hope not.

    Oh goodness! That BIG lizzard thing towers over you, oops, meant under you, MOL. It looks great for making happy paws, love the color too. The fairy kitty collection is so adorable. One is never too old for stuffies. You’ve got quite the unique collection too. love em! Purrs

    That is an impressive collection of suffies. When Tommy was around, no stuffie ever lasted very long, but Ollie seems a little more gentle with his stuffies.

    I like the iguana best, my human likes that toad best. My human has lots of stuffies around too. Some even had whiskers that I liked to chew on. Unfortunately, I chewed them all off so no more fun for me. There’s a couple cats and a red panda that had good whiskers for chewing.

    Your human needs to get some that are stuffed with catnip.

    I don’t have any stuffies here, except for dad when he overdoes it on the snacks and beer. Dad’s mom, rest her soul, used to “collect” stuffies and other things, and couldn’t part with them if you paid her. Stay safe dear girl, and have a fantastic weekend.

    My, that is a few, though thankfully, none seem likely to muscle in on your top cat position 🙂
    There are some stuffies here at the palace but with the occasional mouse visitor I bring home, Mrs H really doesn’t see or feel the need to add more fur to our collection.

    PS. Do keep an eye on that iguana, as it’s the only one big enough to swallow you 😉
