Hello there Everyone! Cy Bear back again.
As promised last week, here are some up-dated photos of the Grampy Cats, all taken shortly after they had met MrSS's grand daughter, V after arriving at her home in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
She's been the recipient of many, if not all, the Cuddlies that our good Friend, MrSS purchased from Isobel since they met in 2015, and was indeed intended to be the recipient of THE Memory Cat when MsVS commissioned Isobel for this project. However, as I told you last week, Isobel decided that there should be 4 different Cats made with the material she'd been given (with permission from MsVS needless to say!) because she felt more than one member of the Family might like to have a permanent reminder going forward.
An Armful of Grampy Cats
When the Cats had been unpacked it became obvious that the decision as to who was going to get which Cat might take somewhat longer than initially expected. V evidently has found it difficult to decide which two Cats will remain in her house, and which two will go to her Grandmother and her Uncle (as well which one will go to whom!). Here are some of the initial photos showing her getting to know the Grampy Cats - and beginning to consider her options.

Maybe the Choice is emerging?
and Being Sealed with a Kiss?
From these pictures, Isobel and I are beginning to think that the initial model of the Cat in her Blue Skirt might be winning the selection process for V, herself. However, MsVS did say in the accompanying message for the second set of photos that the choice was proving "very difficult"! Last news was that each Cat was being taken to bed singly - just to show them what they are supposed to when they do meet their Forever Friend, maybe? After that, there is some mention of a further batch of photos once the decision has been made, and the Cats distributed.
Once we hear what the results are, we'll let everyone know!
Isobel is currently busy with Tigers galore - Orange Stripey ones (https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/690265436/tiger-arm-puppet-kids-activity-toy-made?ref=shop_home_active_18) and both Arm Puppets and Stuffed Toy varieties in the original brown Stripeless Tiger Arm Puppet versions. Two Tiger Toys - using our latest New Cuddly listing (https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/888344491/new-orange-plush-tiger-toy-stuffed? ref=shop_home_active_3) are going to 2 young brothers using our soft plush fabrics. (Isobel is currently waiting to hear if the Buyer wants both done in the same fabric, or one fluffier than the other - just to preserve domestic harmony!) . I'll doubtless be tasked to let you know what their stories are when they're all finished and either at their Forever Homes - or en route them.
See you all again soon.
Your Friend,
Cy Bear
