I think this one from eBay is very similar. It’s a Dakin from 1981 same color with three kittens, only they attach as if nursing with Velcro and do not go in the tummy. That’s the closest I have found so far.
Here’s an update on Carrie’s mother’s condition as of 06/25/08:
She is making incredible progress! Due to a stroke after the surgery she needs physical therapy to strengthen her left side and to help walk but is definitely gaining that strength. She has a speech therapist and is making progress there too! She just had eye surgery which cleared her vision in her left eye. The doctors say she should make a 95-100 percent recovery which is totally amazing!
Thank you so much, I really do appreciate all of your help!
Please help if you can. My mother recently suffered a brain aneurysm and we do not know her prognosis. When she was little her favorite toy was a stuffed cat with Velcro a ZIPPER tummy that had kittens inside. Mom is 55 years old, so I imagine the cat was in production 45-50 years ago.
I think it would help her to have her kitty by her side again.
I don’t have a picture of the cat, but I remember that it was gray and in a laying position. It was one of the more realistic looking stuffed animals for the time (1950’s). I don’t know if that will help.
I have even searched for a cat that looks similar so that I could add the tummy and kittens but I have not had any luck. She lived in the Los Angeles area, San Gabriel I think… if that helps.
Thank you, I really appreciate your efforts.
