A buyer asked me to make her a teeny cat and Lil' Paul is the result. He's not as cute as I would have liked...actually, according to my hubby he's not that cute at all! bear_cry But he is my very first puddy tat, so therefore a prototype with plenty of room for improvement.... bear_tongue

Lil' Paul stands just 2.75" tall, has glass eyes and feels quite weighty due to the addition of steel shot.

I'm soooo unsure about this little one. I've told my buyer that she is not committed to buy, but I'm hoping she'll like him just enough...!!!

I think she is cute, for a cat (not my favorite animal) I would get her for someone who likes cats.......

Thankyou Ellen!

My buyer has written to say she'd love to adopt him - yay! She thinks he looks a lot like her own cat, which I'll include a photo of....it's this photo I was trying to work to. What do you think???

Oh boy, I AM a huge cat fan . . . let me have your kitty - I love that tiny little one! You did an outstanding job on your first cat . . . as far as I'm concerned, you're right up there with Karen Lyons, except on a much smaller scale!

Ooooo
Pretty pretty puddy tat bear_wub
This is just the kind of cat I love - no feeding no litter tray just cuddles and sweetness. (Sorry cat lovers - I adore animals but am not really clever enough to take care of one :redface: )
It takes me all of my time to 'feed' my bears bear_grin
Well done Helena - another super dooper baby animal !! :dance: :clap: :dance: :clap: :dance: :clap:

Helena! I'm with Heather... since you were so unsure about this little meowser, I took at good hard critical look at him to figure out what might be "rubbing you the wrong way." I can't find a thing either! He's just wonderful!

You are really so talented, designing these fantastic little critters.
Beary truly yours,

I really like this little putter tat! I am not a cat person either but I would collect a stuffed one if it looked like this little cutie! Well done! I really love the nose! bear_wub

Thanks for all the lovely comments! I'm blushing.... :redface:

I think it was just a long hard 'birth' bear_tongue . Hubby took another look at him last night, and said 'well, what do I know anyway?!'. LOL. I think we all see different things in our bears and critters.

Helena,

The only time in my life I have been catless was in boarding school, and even then I left stuff out for the cats.

So having spent the better part of 53 years with cats I think he is beautiful and especially so because of his minikiti size. I love his eyes, even though they aren't the same cat-type eyes were used to....what I love is that the realitive largness and roundness makes him look so innocent ( yeah right, we're onto you Mr.) But he looks so sweet and innocent.

It looks like a Sassy smokey is it? I like the way you tied his nose color into to the seam color.

I keep flipping back to look at him. I wish that I had been your buyer. I really like him. You did an outstanding job.

I hope you continue to make little kitties, you have a great design there.
