San X: Comical Cat

I started off strong with my San-X cats and yet the last few weeks I haven't been able to find much info, Comical Cat being no exception.  I did find these two memo sheets though so at least we all now know what Comical Cat looks like :) That's something right? Right?

Anyone have any Comical Cat info they'd like to share? 
I think he is one of the cutest characters too...bummer!

Tyler the Cat

tyler_cat_artwork

I had the delightful privilege of getting to house sit Tyler over the weekend and to take some cute cat pictures of him :)   Tyler belongs to Lucy, a friend of my Boyfriend, Ben.  Lucy is an amazing animal lover and as a result Tyler is such a sweet cat who is needy for the love :P

 I think in the end Tyler got sick of me stalking him with my camera though..oops!

Hiding again?

Tyler did get his claws out, with me, for some play fighting, which normally would have freaked me out hardcore but I simply picked up a branch and played on...mega proud moment for me...despite my blog's title I would be lying if I said, there wasn't a tiny bit of fear, that comes back when the claws come out!

love you Ty Guy!

P.S. More photos of Tyler over Here and Here on my personal art blog

Child's Own Studio - Cat Plushies

I first heard about Child's Own Studio in a toy shop in Japan, I picked up a business card, with the thought of investigating further, it wasn't until a random flickr search though that I re-discovered the radness. The basic concept of Child's Own Studio, run by Wendy Tsao, is creating soft toys from children's drawings. I think kids drawings are amazing and it's especially fun to see them come to life through Wendy's plushies!

Some very neato cats below :)

I love that cat twisted in string :P

Surprised Kitty

Have you seen the Surprised Kitty video, I think it's a worthy 17 seconds of your life if you haven't :P

Surprised Kitty is a female named Attila Fluff ('Attila' The Hun, because she is fierce and 'Fluff' because she is cute). Rosa, 15, is responsible for shooting the video one day when her friend and the kitten were visiting.

San X: Soraneko

Born from a cloud egg and searching for the legendary whale cloud, Soraneko (sky cat) is definitely a rare San-X character. She's a cutie but I really couldn't find too much about her, except she rides dolphin shaped clouds and loves mackerel skies and rainbows! Sounds pretty cute to me :)

Long Cat












Shiroi (meaning white) aka long cat is another Japanese Cat to grace our presence and is known for her, well, long-ness! People seem to have really gravitated towards Long Cat, a quick google image search and you can see a lot of Long Cat inspired spin offs and art and crafts and even snowman!
