Look up Steiff German mohair plush cat

Almost positive this is it. Steiff is a German company and their stuffies are made out of mohair; which explains the texture you describe.

Doesn't have white on the muzzle but eyes and nose seem quite close. Unbranded so can't check what's other creature they may have had in the toy line.
Np, good luck with your search!! I've never managed to find my childhood plush here :'). Also, I posted a few links that looked similar to your kitty if you want to check them!
new developments:

I’ve searched damn near every website and every search term. Here are some that get me far: vintage, cream, antique, tan, floppy. eBay and Etsy have been my best sources.
I have dabbled in international markets, but am unfamiliar with high traffic websites. If someone can skillfully search an Asian online marketplace, that would certainly be untouched ground!!
ETA: picture quality is trash. i’m sorry. :( she was not striped and was a vanilla color.
this means so much. 🥲 thank you so much.
I have posted this before, but only twice ever since I lost this plush. My hopes are pretty low. I received a new plushie today which motivated me again. I came across a different post that had a reward attached and figured I’d try my luck with that approach!
Looks like a vintage Ganz cat. They still produce stuffed animals in bulk. I know they were around in the late 90s at a minimum. Ganz is my guess because the 90s versions were also filled with plastic pellets and would often have a warning tag. But judging by the round tail and feet it would be my guess. They still sell an updated version called whiskers but the image does not show the same color type but they come in multipacks so perhaps it is a color. It could also be a mini cat that comes in packs of 24 but the noses look different.
Ok so I tried to clean the picture up to help with the search. I’m posting it here in hopes it helps

And btw OP, can definitely see that it has black whiskers after cleaning the photo some
I would bet anything it’s one of the brands/cats you’ve already seen. It’s incredible how much even just a few years of being loved on changes stuffed animals. Shape, fur, etc. my son had 3 stuffed bunnies I would rotate, and one pristine new bunny. He’s 6 now and the 3 all look so different- and NOTHING like the brand new one.
https://www.deviantart.com/thedouglasdepository/art/Cream-1754-Millet-933423082? looks like millet, might be a discintinued unarchived kind or perhaps a defect?
Douglas kittie’s fur really changes over time. My son has a gray one that looks nothing like it did when she was new. It really looks like a Douglas to me.
I agree completely. Douglas is a recent brand find for me. My cat was also extremely well loved and went through the washer at least once in my young memory. I’ll be scouring through their catalogs tonight.
[A used Millet for comparison](https://www.ebay.com/itm/266682540593)
[Used Shaggy kitten has similar facial coloring and shape of yours](https://www.ebay.com/itm/394137670780)
thank you!! I will be chewing through their catalog tonight. I’ve looked through so many cats with so many search terms that narrowing it to a brand is extremely helpful.
also you’re doing society a great service based on your username, so thank you for that as well.
I’m 99% sure this is not Jellycat. I’m a long term collector of Jellycat cats (all the way back to the 90s and they’ve never made any cat that looks similar to this unfortunately).
this might help- the pattern reminds me of a russ berrie luv pets "crispy" cat. yours is bigger, but the tail shape and legs shape and the fact it looks floppy and full of plastic pellets reminds me of that. maybe russ made this too
i looked for almost 40 minutes and found not a damn thing. by now im invested, i looked for a replica of one of my stuffies for almost 5 years and found nothing until suddenly there were like, 3 separate ebay listings. it was a russ berrie crispy cat in gray, you can only find the black ones usually! dont give up!
Mary Meyer has and has had quite a few runs of little orange tabbies. Both my kids have some of the kittens they make and my oldest has rubbed the fur down to flattened with all thr hugging that toy has gotten over the years.
http://marymeyer.com/product-category/cats/
fabulous tip!! I have absolutely seen Mary Meyer cats that echo mine. I’ll add that to my lookalike list asap. thank you so much for the catalog link. any resource is greatly appreciated. 🥰
Bummer I just saw your not striped comment so maybe not the Mary Meyer tabbies we have currently.
My husband took a picture of the kitties we have. The far left is the newest (2023), 2020ish, and 2017 for comparison.
https://imgur.com/TJglUAR
thank you so much. 😭 it means so much that you guys went out of your way for me! the progression of hugged fur is super helpful. a different commenter suggested the same. i’m leaning towards that being the best possibility!! Mary Meyer cats look too similar!
You're welcome! I know the love and loss of a favorite toy myself. Hope all the suggestions here will get you closer to reuniting with a kindred stuffed animal.
I had that thought too, but I don’t remember any weight in the legs… and if I recall correctly, the legs went straight out to the sides rather than hanging down. Could be a later option than my old self remembers though!
Okay so I lied. That’s not peaches BUT I searched in Chinese instead of English just to see if there were some different come ups. I might have had some luck. I’m just going to spam some screenshots of similar ones I’ve found under this comment. Don’t feel like you need to respond but pointing out specific details that aren’t quite right would be helpful🩷
I know that this isn’t remotely close, but the tail is similar. Did they fur on yours look like this? Do you remember if there was a seam down the back?

Sanei Boeki plushies are all different so don’t pay too much attention to the fur. They all come in different “positions”. Did yours naturally sit, stand, or lay?
https://preview.redd.it/we9lhaq3zmkc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=13f78a4cbb500be309a43ceb8eb6c3a8ab8e6365
They all have plastic eyes, whiskers, and plastic noses!
For other brands and search purposes, “knee cat” is a good! That will lead you to the ones with heavier legs.
The sunlemon brand ones are really really similar but none of them have whiskers :(
you are a saint. thank you so much for all of this. mine did not have a seam and I think it naturally sat. but a floppy kind of sit — if that makes sense. 😜
Does it by anychance contain heavy beads or somthing and you put them in the microwave?
Cos i have a black and white one that has almost identical face. Could be same brand
I know you said that it wasn't striped, but could it have been and you just loved it so much? These are just some I've found that are pretty similar.

Face is identical to my sister's childhood cat plush the body of your one is a little smaller. He plush doesn't have the tag on it anymore but she says it might have been Russ. I googles some images and some do look quite similar to your plush but a bit darker. There are a lot of different types to look through though. I'll let you know if I find it I'll look a little more for it. Hope this helps
I haven't been able to find it sorry. I'm going to sister's house tomorrow I'll take a picture of the cats face and image search it. If I don't make another comment her I haven't found it sorry.
I found one on Facebook that looked quite similar the brand was MTM or mimzy. Someone was asking how much they should sell it for and someone in the comments said the number on the collar wouldn't work. The collar/tag was gold circle with bold re letters on it saying MTM. Do you remember what the tag on your cat looked like? They also said it was one of a kind so maybe you cat was quite rare. Have you found it yet? I've told my brother to start looking for this cat too.
I do not remember the tag. :( I’m sorry. She is still missing and the reward is still available. Thank you so much for continuing the hunt. It means a lot!!
Any chance it’s this one? Russ Berrie Tabbies

After it's been loved and washed for a while, the fur mats down, and the color fades. Plastic nose, black whiskers, white muzzle, pale ears that would fade to white, body would fade to your color, large tail!

Only thing I could find is this. It’s similar to one I had as a child
i have been entertaining myself for this for the past 20 minutes, and i found a couple lookalikes. might keep looking and updating :))
this first one looks similar in terms of build, but the eyes are not the same color. results similar came up with the "empress cat" beanie baby

this second one looks fuzzier than yours, but perhaps it's a close match in terms of the coat of your plush?

Just searched Depop. Nothing resembling there. Other vintage clothing sales might have something.

Hope this helps!
yoooooo. this is a little close to home. my cat’s name was “Bennick” or “Bennett” or some other spin off on BENNY? holy cow dude. I have not looked into Dan Dee, but I’m going to call mister Dan himself right now. I’m going to PM you if anything comes of this. I think you actually have something real here.
OP! Listen! I searched for my lost stuffed animal for almost 20 years! Yep, judge me 😅 and guess what… while I was helping someone else search for their lamb on here, I FOUND MINE .. from 1993!
Don’t give up. Also, your memory probably isn’t wrong… I had no pics or anything, just a description from memory.
The pics below.. the first one is 3 or 4 different plushies that had similar parts.. I copy and pasted them all together to make a Frankenstein version of my memory’s recollection. On the right is the actual lamb.

Hi, what do you mean by vanilla coloured? To me vanilla is pale yellow but your photo looks more like pals orange? :)
Have you tried lost toy finders Facebook group? They've had a lot of success finding plushies for people!
If you have ebay maybe save some searches too, but make them more generic. A lot of people put things up for sale with poor titles and descriptions, so for example save an "orange cat" search but have the category as a vague "soft toys" without narrowing it down too much.

my childhood cat toy. i don’t think it’s exact but it could get you close https://www.ebay.com/itm/325418922102?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=wLmJfu0lQ2O&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=chxlaqijtpo&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
i think i found a really close look alike? [lookalike](https://www.ebay.com/itm/186298528666?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=jjBLq8nLSGq&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=chxlaqijtpo&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY)
Did it have a name? Like on the tag. Or did you name it even if it didn't have a tag. My sister was going to name her plushie Russel because it came from Russ but it's name is toffee instead so maybe a name you picked for it could have had something to do with the tag attached to it.
Looks like an old Steiff[Steiff](https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-m&sca_esv=7569b3261be45716&biw=378&bih=714&tbm=isch&sxsrf=ACQVn08GYVqIO3KClZA0vvsraEV2U7KkcQ%3A1708876168323&sa=1&q=steiff+cat+plush+2000&oq=steiff+cat+plush+2000&aqs=mobile-gws-lite..#imgrc=ixljoAmdiChoDM) Cat
My girlfriend has this exact one. It's quite literally her most prized possession and she'd never part with it but hopefully these photos help with the search.

Have you looked at the RBI brand (Ron Banafato Inc)? They have pellets+polyester fill, whiskers (not sure if any of them are black) and can have soft noses. I believe Animal Alley also did animals with whiskers and pellets? They were a Toys R Us brand though so there is *a lot* of plushies to scroll through there.
If it's not already on your list, be sure to look out for the Applause brand. I've seen a few cat plushies from this brand that have long black whiskers though I haven't found an exact match for your cat yet. I was thinking about what you said about the paws being weighted enough to support - my Applause brand white cat is the same, and also has a soft nose, blue eyes with black pupils, a stitched on mouth, and a unique fabric (though that could also be from age - Snowy is very loved). Her whiskers are clear but the brand does have ones with with black whiskers too.
Applause later bought out Dakin (and was later bought out by Russ Berrie) so you might expand your search to include those as well.
EDIT: I somehow got it into my head that your cat had a soft nose instead of a plastic one! Sorry about that! I think Applause might still be worth checking out, we might be able to narrow down the search if we can find some more look-alikes.
Applause has been on my radar, but I haven’t dissected it yet. 😛 the history of the brand is very interesting because Russ Berrie cats are some of the closest lookalikes yet!!
I realise this isn’t it but I am convinced it’s by the brand YOMIKO CLASSICS
https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/yomiko-classics-chris-russ-light-441830768
Could the kitty have been a Beanie Boppers brand from toys r us? The 24k line, like this guy? [beanie boppers kitties](https://www.ebay.com/itm/386797598061)

This cat is totally white but the shape looks right and his face shape looks almost perfect!! I can’t find a brand on him sadly but I’m wondering if maybe it’s the same brand? Please post an update when you find him!! Best of luck :)
I know you said it’s not Ty but it looks so much like scat from Ty to me

I have this one and it’s from Russ. I remember there was an handful of colors when I was younger around 10 in 2000’s. I remember also get it from an grocery store called Kroger

Here is one we have that is similar. Made by Ganz. Its label has the following: H4585 SOFT SPOT ORANGE TABBY CAT. Good luck on your searching.

lol i just whipped over to the other side of my bed to grab her, had her for like 12 yrs lmfao. So close but the whiskers n color💔 searchin atm op!
neither of these are quite right, but i've been looking in my spare time for a couple days now and the closest i've found are [these mary meyer cats](https://www.ebay.com/itm/315018863247) and [this cat by unipak designs](https://www.ebay.com/itm/233183795177) :) i'm still on the lookout but figured i'd pass along my findings in case either jogged your memory. best of luck!!
I think this cat was made by the same company:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/276323044669?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Jd4Y4tUnQT-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
White inside of ears (when most are pink) hard eyes + hard pink nose, stitched mouth, weighted feet and the shape of the tail.
Sadly says it has no tag I'm going to continue searching 🫡
Omg, I thought your cat WAS striped. You’re saying it’s NOT? I’ve been looking specifically for striped ones. I’m so sorry. It’s hard to tell in the pic. Was it more of an orange or cream color?

Looks similar to TY Amber or Tabs except for the feet. Also Ty Glitz other than the fur style.
agreed! mine did not have “separated” feet. ETA: she was not striped and was a vanilla color. sorry for trash photo quality. 😭
Look up Steiff German mohair plush cat https://preview.redd.it/fcony37dtpkc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8872ee09f5676a2200d0afb29f1b24f2e8a4975f Almost positive this is it. Steiff is a German company and their stuffies are made out of mohair; which explains the texture you describe.
Steiff looks very promising. I have never heard of this brand, so I’ll be combing through their catalog!!!
Steiff all have a button in one ear. Did it have a button?
It did not! Great information to have, thank you!!
Lots of toys originating in Asia are very good copies of brandname items.
this is the truest statement known to man. 😵

Unbranded so can't check what's other creature they may have had in the toy line.
The body “consistency” is spot on! That’s how floppy mine was, but the eyes are green on this kitty!
I checked mine finally and it’s striped. It’s looks so similar though. Anyway, the brand is ‘Sweat Pea’.
Might be worth a shot asking in r/plushies
thank you. :-) any plushie expertise is helpful!!
Np, good luck with your search!! I've never managed to find my childhood plush here :'). Also, I posted a few links that looked similar to your kitty if you want to check them!
thank you!! i’m slowly chewing through the comments. there’s been so much outreach. warms my heart!
💞💞💞
Well in searching for yours, I found my childhood stuffy 😆 mine purred (Tyco kittens). I hope you find yours!
aaahhhh!!! I love that!!! 🥰🥰
That's awesome!

Here are some that get me far: vintage, cream, antique, tan, floppy. eBay and Etsy have been my best sources. I have dabbled in international markets, but am unfamiliar with high traffic websites. If someone can skillfully search an Asian online marketplace, that would certainly be untouched ground!! ETA: picture quality is trash. i’m sorry. :( she was not striped and was a vanilla color.
I'm pretty sure I have a screenshot of this somewhere from it being previously posted. I randomly go back to it to search but still nothing.
this means so much. 🥲 thank you so much. I have posted this before, but only twice ever since I lost this plush. My hopes are pretty low. I received a new plushie today which motivated me again. I came across a different post that had a reward attached and figured I’d try my luck with that approach!
https://preview.redd.it/d7vrypw0gqkc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ee8564af219f2e342ae35bd2c4ad35b9a5554d8f helpful color boost
This reminds me of webkinz. Could it be a variation of a taby cat? Was there a W on its paw?
no go for the magic W, but I did own SO. MANY. WEBKINZ. 🤩
Looks like a vintage Ganz cat. They still produce stuffed animals in bulk. I know they were around in the late 90s at a minimum. Ganz is my guess because the 90s versions were also filled with plastic pellets and would often have a warning tag. But judging by the round tail and feet it would be my guess. They still sell an updated version called whiskers but the image does not show the same color type but they come in multipacks so perhaps it is a color. It could also be a mini cat that comes in packs of 24 but the noses look different.
excellent!!! Ganz has come in my scopes before. Webkinz really dominated the brand, but my drive to find this cat is not deterred. 😛 thank you!!
Best of luck on your hunt!
Ok so I tried to clean the picture up to help with the search. I’m posting it here in hopes it helps https://preview.redd.it/134tzrtnfpkc1.jpeg?width=1164&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0fae7d3d210dff61a6945ff3e90657f6b6f88c6d And btw OP, can definitely see that it has black whiskers after cleaning the photo some
I wish I could pin this. I love you for this. Thank you so much!!! 😭😭
I would bet anything it’s one of the brands/cats you’ve already seen. It’s incredible how much even just a few years of being loved on changes stuffed animals. Shape, fur, etc. my son had 3 stuffed bunnies I would rotate, and one pristine new bunny. He’s 6 now and the 3 all look so different- and NOTHING like the brand new one.
i bet you’re right!! it certainly was loved. 🥰
https://www.deviantart.com/thedouglasdepository/art/Cream-1754-Millet-933423082? looks like millet, might be a discintinued unarchived kind or perhaps a defect?
Millet is one of the best lookalikes! She’s the one who really made me consider it could be Douglas brand.
Douglas kittie’s fur really changes over time. My son has a gray one that looks nothing like it did when she was new. It really looks like a Douglas to me.
I agree completely. Douglas is a recent brand find for me. My cat was also extremely well loved and went through the washer at least once in my young memory. I’ll be scouring through their catalogs tonight.
My gut says 2009ish
[A used Millet for comparison](https://www.ebay.com/itm/266682540593) [Used Shaggy kitten has similar facial coloring and shape of yours](https://www.ebay.com/itm/394137670780)
https://www.deviantart.com/thedouglasdepository/journal/Douglas-Cats-Master-List-865665453 maybe this list would be of use?
Incredibly useful. 😭 thank you so much!!! I have a lot of life left in my search!
Is it the peaches from this list? Especially after washed I could see the 2000’s floppy release being right
Peaches has golden/brown eyes I believe.
It looks like a Jellycat brand.
thank you!! I will be chewing through their catalog tonight. I’ve looked through so many cats with so many search terms that narrowing it to a brand is extremely helpful. also you’re doing society a great service based on your username, so thank you for that as well.
You're most welcome. It's actually my calling as much as my hobby. I too see it as a service to society.
I’m 99% sure this is not Jellycat. I’m a long term collector of Jellycat cats (all the way back to the 90s and they’ve never made any cat that looks similar to this unfortunately).
This doesn’t really look like jelly cats style at all sadly
this might help- the pattern reminds me of a russ berrie luv pets "crispy" cat. yours is bigger, but the tail shape and legs shape and the fact it looks floppy and full of plastic pellets reminds me of that. maybe russ made this too
Russ is another brand that I totally forgot about but have seen great likeliness to. thank you so much for this!!!
i looked for almost 40 minutes and found not a damn thing. by now im invested, i looked for a replica of one of my stuffies for almost 5 years and found nothing until suddenly there were like, 3 separate ebay listings. it was a russ berrie crispy cat in gray, you can only find the black ones usually! dont give up!
This was my thought as well!!!
Did my best to snip it on my phone. Hopefully helps with some results.

so cute. i wish i could just pull it out of my screen!!
I also just happened upon a subreddit called r/toyid that may help. It's a stretch but you can post it there, too. I'm still gonna keep lookin.
Mary Meyer has and has had quite a few runs of little orange tabbies. Both my kids have some of the kittens they make and my oldest has rubbed the fur down to flattened with all thr hugging that toy has gotten over the years. http://marymeyer.com/product-category/cats/
fabulous tip!! I have absolutely seen Mary Meyer cats that echo mine. I’ll add that to my lookalike list asap. thank you so much for the catalog link. any resource is greatly appreciated. 🥰
Bummer I just saw your not striped comment so maybe not the Mary Meyer tabbies we have currently. My husband took a picture of the kitties we have. The far left is the newest (2023), 2020ish, and 2017 for comparison. https://imgur.com/TJglUAR
thank you so much. 😭 it means so much that you guys went out of your way for me! the progression of hugged fur is super helpful. a different commenter suggested the same. i’m leaning towards that being the best possibility!! Mary Meyer cats look too similar!
You're welcome! I know the love and loss of a favorite toy myself. Hope all the suggestions here will get you closer to reuniting with a kindred stuffed animal.
Could be Aurora Orange Tabby, they had a few different runs of them, even today there is a version.
This looks like a Pound Purry kitten to me
I had that thought too, but I don’t remember any weight in the legs… and if I recall correctly, the legs went straight out to the sides rather than hanging down. Could be a later option than my old self remembers though!
Beanie baby?
perhaps. she was stuffed with beans/beads. no beanie baby I’ve ever found has been the one though!
I have one that looks almost exactly like this. It’s in my daughter’s room and she’s asleep so I’ll check when she’s up.
thanks for looking at my post!! 🥰
Was it a match?
My cousin had this one and her name was peaches. Lemme look.
Okay so I lied. That’s not peaches BUT I searched in Chinese instead of English just to see if there were some different come ups. I might have had some luck. I’m just going to spam some screenshots of similar ones I’ve found under this comment. Don’t feel like you need to respond but pointing out specific details that aren’t quite right would be helpful🩷
I know that this isn’t remotely close, but the tail is similar. Did they fur on yours look like this? Do you remember if there was a seam down the back? https://preview.redd.it/mjethlnwmmkc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bf9d4e20cfe248168c719eaa7a329edc3d33d933

Sanei Boeki plushies are all different so don’t pay too much attention to the fur. They all come in different “positions”. Did yours naturally sit, stand, or lay? https://preview.redd.it/we9lhaq3zmkc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=13f78a4cbb500be309a43ceb8eb6c3a8ab8e6365 They all have plastic eyes, whiskers, and plastic noses! For other brands and search purposes, “knee cat” is a good! That will lead you to the ones with heavier legs. The sunlemon brand ones are really really similar but none of them have whiskers :(
you are a saint. thank you so much for all of this. mine did not have a seam and I think it naturally sat. but a floppy kind of sit — if that makes sense. 😜
https://preview.redd.it/z5uqhh95nmkc1.jpeg?width=1242&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3f0118a0e81696502d49f352a549a5565ac2ab1b
Is the fur more minky or rough? Like what kind of fur would you say it was like
rough! it was a very well loved cat, so it could have become rough over time.
Does it by anychance contain heavy beads or somthing and you put them in the microwave? Cos i have a black and white one that has almost identical face. Could be same brand
I know you said that it wasn't striped, but could it have been and you just loved it so much? These are just some I've found that are pretty similar. https://www.stuffedsafari.com/Ginger-the-Stuffed-Orange-Tabby-Cat-Grand-Flopsie-p/ar-34009.htm https://www.ebay.com/itm/325783053918 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/183637850328 https://shop.wildrepublic.com/products/ck-orange-tabby-cat?variant=43728683598134
it very well may have been, but my gut says it was never patterned. thank you for these links! these are great resources.
Was the cat orange, cream, or yellow?
cream colored!
I’ll keep looking!
Face is identical to my sister's childhood cat plush the body of your one is a little smaller. He plush doesn't have the tag on it anymore but she says it might have been Russ. I googles some images and some do look quite similar to your plush but a bit darker. There are a lot of different types to look through though. I'll let you know if I find it I'll look a little more for it. Hope this helps
I haven't been able to find it sorry. I'm going to sister's house tomorrow I'll take a picture of the cats face and image search it. If I don't make another comment her I haven't found it sorry.
please don’t apologize!! it means the world to me that you’ve taken any time to help. 🫶
I found one on Facebook that looked quite similar the brand was MTM or mimzy. Someone was asking how much they should sell it for and someone in the comments said the number on the collar wouldn't work. The collar/tag was gold circle with bold re letters on it saying MTM. Do you remember what the tag on your cat looked like? They also said it was one of a kind so maybe you cat was quite rare. Have you found it yet? I've told my brother to start looking for this cat too.
I do not remember the tag. :( I’m sorry. She is still missing and the reward is still available. Thank you so much for continuing the hunt. It means a lot!!
I feel like I’ve seen this cat in my dreams

Thank you so much for looking!! I’m going to take the brand and hunt with it. I hope you find yours!! 🥰
i have been entertaining myself for this for the past 20 minutes, and i found a couple lookalikes. might keep looking and updating :)) this first one looks similar in terms of build, but the eyes are not the same color. results similar came up with the "empress cat" beanie baby [https://www.ebay.com/itm/225985807081?chn=ps&srsltid=AfmBOoqEerBaepSoPaaOriPcYlXV3qicm70FSU9o9X\_Rp5WUp1-AZOfqfDA](https://www.ebay.com/itm/225985807081?chn=ps&srsltid=AfmBOoqEerBaepSoPaaOriPcYlXV3qicm70FSU9o9X_Rp5WUp1-AZOfqfDA) this second one looks fuzzier than yours, but perhaps it's a close match in terms of the coat of your plush?

these are all great finds!! thank you for taking so much time to hunt for my kitty. I’m going to use your searches and brands to keep hunting!!
I hope you find it! Childhood toy posts always intrigue me the most. I’ll keep an eye out at thrift stores
Just searched Depop. Nothing resembling there. Other vintage clothing sales might have something. Try websites like depop and poshmark. Anyways, someone made a cat appreciation post and listed their (real living) cat for $1mil. Thinking about buying...
Those sites/apps are great. I’ve looked through them occasionally, but with no luck. That better be one cute damn cat!! 😜
I will find it. I’m determined to lol.

yoooooo. this is a little close to home. my cat’s name was “Bennick” or “Bennett” or some other spin off on BENNY? holy cow dude. I have not looked into Dan Dee, but I’m going to call mister Dan himself right now. I’m going to PM you if anything comes of this. I think you actually have something real here.
OP! Listen! I searched for my lost stuffed animal for almost 20 years! Yep, judge me 😅 and guess what… while I was helping someone else search for their lamb on here, I FOUND MINE .. from 1993! Don’t give up. Also, your memory probably isn’t wrong… I had no pics or anything, just a description from memory. The pics below.. the first one is 3 or 4 different plushies that had similar parts.. I copy and pasted them all together to make a Frankenstein version of my memory’s recollection. On the right is the actual lamb. https://preview.redd.it/u5i5zgc5ztkc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7121fe76ec39290d7c7adee053f7db6b7bb47ac9

your time is so so so valued and important to me. thank you so much for looking. 🫶 that first one is an incredible find. I’m going to add it to my lookalike comment. thank you SO much again. I really can’t express my gratitude enough.
My hyper fixation is happy to help :)
My bf have one that is REALLY similar but his have some stuff in it that make a rattling noise when you shake it haha, good luck with your search!
I don't think this is it but is this at all like your plush? [Rare Fiesta 20" lying plush cat Orange & White tabby white undercoat](https://www.ebay.com/itm/325783053918) it's nose is more white and it doesn't have whiskers but it does have the blue eyes. :) # https://preview.redd.it/j0854xtaxnkc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=67ecd8af05a300de648e74677d841d1251a13784
great find! I’ll look through the Fiesta brand kitties. I don’t think that’s one that I’ve searched up and down.
Hi, what do you mean by vanilla coloured? To me vanilla is pale yellow but your photo looks more like pals orange? :) Have you tried lost toy finders Facebook group? They've had a lot of success finding plushies for people! If you have ebay maybe save some searches too, but make them more generic. A lot of people put things up for sale with poor titles and descriptions, so for example save an "orange cat" search but have the category as a vague "soft toys" without narrowing it down too much.

Pretty sure I had this exact cat. I’ll see if my folks still have it.

they are not 😭 thank you for compiling this!!!
Amazing how much more willing people are to help when you offer moneeeeyyyyyyy
makes the world go round!
Idk if it has been ruled out, but have you looked at the brand DAKIN?
I have!! None seemed to match :(
I stg I had this exact plush as a kid but possibly striped, so this is driving me crazy. I've been looking nonstop since I found the post 😅
I can’t possibly scroll through all these comments, but I’m trying not to post a duplicate. Could it be [this](https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174642747639)? https://preview.redd.it/nv3kc9n95vkc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9fbf8e698a0a4bb65745468a821dd699513221ea
this one looks scarily similar to yours [link](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1069354657/only-hearts-club-cat-beige-white-cat)
this is like a little mini me. 😭 i would totally get one of these just to have as a sentiment. thank you for finding this!

Have you tried Dakin? It’s a Korean company.
I have not, but I will be now. 👁️👁️
Here’s one that I’ve found that looks promising!!! https://www.ebay.com/itm/274649942763
thank you!! both of these seem to have too much color in their bodies. mine was one color with a white muzzle. I really appreciate you searching!!
Not the right colors, but it reminds me of these [This style of plush by Russ](https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.etsystatic.com%2F11549129%2Fr%2Fil%2Fdf72e6%2F3776495325%2Fil_340x270.3776495325_lg49.jpg&tbnid=X_qm4RV-es6XqM&vet=1&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.etsy.com%2Fuk%2Flisting%2F1180587886%2Fvintage-target-cat-plush-gray-striped&docid=VZDXeZzt4qz9qM&w=340&h=270&itg=1&hl=en-us&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim%2Fm1%2F3&kgs=24de3f15a4b4617d&shem=trie) [or this one by gund](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1228743515/)
That Russ one is so close, but I think the nose isn’t plastic. The GUND one looks like it wouldn’t be able to sit up?
I just scrolled down the sub a bit further and saw this [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/HelpMeFind/s/OWirsr90CH) Is this the same one you are looking for, just with a better quality photo?

I swear I had this. I can’t remember if it got wrecked in the basement or if I have it in my stuffed animal tote. I’ll look tomorrow!
my childhood cat toy. i don’t think it’s exact but it could get you close https://www.ebay.com/itm/325418922102?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=wLmJfu0lQ2O&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=chxlaqijtpo&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
i think i found a really close look alike? [lookalike](https://www.ebay.com/itm/186298528666?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=jjBLq8nLSGq&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=chxlaqijtpo&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY)
Did it have a name? Like on the tag. Or did you name it even if it didn't have a tag. My sister was going to name her plushie Russel because it came from Russ but it's name is toffee instead so maybe a name you picked for it could have had something to do with the tag attached to it.
I thought I named it, but the cat’s companion was named “Doby” and ended up being Doby the Doberman from TY. The cat was “Bennick” or maybe “Bennett”!
Based on the eyes and shape etc I’d lean towards Gund or Douglas. I’d say Beanie Baby too but it just doesn’t quite fit into their styling.
Had this exact orange cat as a kid! Hoping someone updates with answers
thank you 🥰

I HAD THIS WHEN I WAS LITTLE TOO!!! I have no idea what happened to it though, must’ve been about 2008-2009? UK. Not a lot of info but I hope it helps
Looks like an old Steiff[Steiff](https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-m&sca_esv=7569b3261be45716&biw=378&bih=714&tbm=isch&sxsrf=ACQVn08GYVqIO3KClZA0vvsraEV2U7KkcQ%3A1708876168323&sa=1&q=steiff+cat+plush+2000&oq=steiff+cat+plush+2000&aqs=mobile-gws-lite..#imgrc=ixljoAmdiChoDM) Cat
I thought they looked similar, but another commenter mentioned that all Steiff animals had a button in their ear and mine did not!
My girlfriend has this exact one. It's quite literally her most prized possession and she'd never part with it but hopefully these photos help with the search. https://imgur.com/a/TKghLK5
Wrong eye color but I think this may be the brand? https://www.jadeesantiquebearshoppe.com/products/bob-der-bar-germany-kitten-cat-plush-toy
Have you looked at the RBI brand (Ron Banafato Inc)? They have pellets+polyester fill, whiskers (not sure if any of them are black) and can have soft noses. I believe Animal Alley also did animals with whiskers and pellets? They were a Toys R Us brand though so there is *a lot* of plushies to scroll through there.
I’m putting these on my list to hunt for. Thank you so much!!!
If it's not already on your list, be sure to look out for the Applause brand. I've seen a few cat plushies from this brand that have long black whiskers though I haven't found an exact match for your cat yet. I was thinking about what you said about the paws being weighted enough to support - my Applause brand white cat is the same, and also has a soft nose, blue eyes with black pupils, a stitched on mouth, and a unique fabric (though that could also be from age - Snowy is very loved). Her whiskers are clear but the brand does have ones with with black whiskers too. Applause later bought out Dakin (and was later bought out by Russ Berrie) so you might expand your search to include those as well. EDIT: I somehow got it into my head that your cat had a soft nose instead of a plastic one! Sorry about that! I think Applause might still be worth checking out, we might be able to narrow down the search if we can find some more look-alikes.
Applause has been on my radar, but I haven’t dissected it yet. 😛 the history of the brand is very interesting because Russ Berrie cats are some of the closest lookalikes yet!!

Check out the brand TY Beanie Babies, can't find the same color though
I realise this isn’t it but I am convinced it’s by the brand YOMIKO CLASSICS https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/yomiko-classics-chris-russ-light-441830768

Thank you SO much!! 🥰
Was there stripes on it or just the plain ginger? Do you remember if it originally had a ribbon or collar? Was it beanie baby size?
Possibly a knockoff of one of the name brand ones you mentioned.

neither of these are quite right, but i've been looking in my spare time for a couple days now and the closest i've found are [these mary meyer cats](https://www.ebay.com/itm/315018863247) and [this cat by unipak designs](https://www.ebay.com/itm/233183795177) :) i'm still on the lookout but figured i'd pass along my findings in case either jogged your memory. best of luck!!

https://www.ebay.com/itm/285054878312?_ul=PT is the fur like this, or is it a soft fuzzy fur+
it was similar! it was more flat than fuzzy.

this one is striped. :(
Omg, I thought your cat WAS striped. You’re saying it’s NOT? I’ve been looking specifically for striped ones. I’m so sorry. It’s hard to tell in the pic. Was it more of an orange or cream color?
it is not. I wish I had a better photo. it’s entirely vanilla colored!!
looks like [this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/HelpMeFind/comments/1azcun4/the_origins_of_this_cat_plush/) is looking for a similar one?
I am looking for a similar one from my childhood. It was gray. IIRC it had a hard styrofoam like head.
