Ok this may or may not be deranged behavior byt i bought this grey stuffed cat online bc she looked like the closest modern descendant of my favorite stuffed animal (on the left duh) but it was only until i put them next to each other that I realized how much of Sassy’s charm is in how her head is turned?? I want to keep looking now but unfortunately I don’t even know what brand Sassy is bc the letters wore off over a decade ago. I think I’m going to havd to visit some kind of forum…
Ok upon further research I believe Sassy is more likely a Douglas plush bc they have cats in this pose and their higher quality seems higher (the grey aurora cat has that super soft but fragile feel like cheap primark pajamas. It would not have lasted 20 years like Sassy’s material has. Plus it’s not even going the right way like the grain is the opposite of a real cat’s? Major L). However they don’t make cats her exact size (19” and the tail adds nothing) and none at all with a similar color pattern :( not even on eBay i could only find cats from their current line no stuffed cats circa 2000. Pure trafedy

Back in the 1970s, a woman from a Native American tribe wrote a letter to my Oma to ask about her life and requested mementos from Japan in exchange for mementos from her tribe and she sent photos of herself and of her way of life, she sent feathers and beaded accessories, a flute she’d carved, she sent turquoise jewellery, she sent a tape with birdsong and with the music she knew how to play, and a bouquet of different pressed flowers. She also sent a dress and shoes for my Oma to wear and a few drawings of how to get done up and dressed in the clothes she’d sent.
As my Oma tells it, she received the package, saw the things, and thought to herself “this woman has sent me her finest” so she sent back a full kimono and all of our accessories, pearls from the sea, a shamisen, crafts that she had made, jars of the makeup we’d use, dried fish, lacquer, a perfume, pressed cherry blossoms, photos of the mountains, and photographs and mementos of Japan. She drew a diagram of how to get done up, took a photo of herself wearing the things that the woman had sent her, wrote “you and I are not too dissimilar!” on the back of the photo, and sent it off. She received a reply with another photo of the woman in our kimono with “You’re right! You and I are very similar!” written on the back of the photograph.
