Hi. I went to Japan in May of 2008 and purchased a stuffed cat at a Saifu store. The cat has gone on to enjoy immense popularity with friends and family, and I have tried on several occasions to purchase more. I have been unable to locate any, though.
So I figured I'd try this board. An image of the toy posing with its girlfriend, car!cat, is linked below. The toy is black and ball-shaped, has blue and white contrast threading on its face, and pink cloth at its ears. There was another version of the toy that came in white.
If anyone can provide me with information or keywords I could use to find this toy online somewhere, I would appreciate it. It may have been on sale for Valentine's Day.
