<p>[QUOTE="Naomi Spiegel, post: 320368, member: 6521"]I bought the cat from Etsy back in Dec of 2012. As a baby back in 1966 I was given this cat/baby tiger/leopard, it was with me everywhere I went as a child. I've asked my mom who gave it to me to get more details, but she does not remember. I was disappointed when I received the cat in the mail from Etsy because it was obvious someone tried too hard to restore it, filling it with too much stuffing and adding mo-hair of a different color around its head, so it looks like a patchwork cat. I keep hoping to find my original cat that I called 'tiger', which got lost in the shuffle of my parents moving. I also thought it was Steiff, and not a Kitsch, but I don't know for certain. The one from Etsy did not come with a red ribbon around its neck, but pretty sure the one I had as a child did, as I can recall it getting so frayed I finally untied it. My tiger had the bell in it's tail - clearly the greatest feature! The one I received from Etsy did as well, so that was enough to make me want it. Still in search of a truer, more original version of my Tiger![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
