Tom The Cat

Tom the Cat was specially requested by a cat lover of a friend. It took us a lot of research as we are essentially more dog people than cat folks. This project was a turn-around for us. After making Tom, we could hardly let it go. Tom wears a pensive face, has whiskers you can brush, and is highly interactive. Accessories sold separately.

Medium: Embroidery threads, felt, brooch pin
Time spent: approximately 6 hours 20 minutes
