Handcrafted 19.5 Inch Lifelike Forest Cat Stuffed Animal by Hansa

Norwegian forest cats have a long history and were even said to have pulled the golden chariot driven by Freyja, the Norse Goddess; it’s no wonder the Handcrafted 19.5 Inch Lifelike Forest Cat Stuffed Animal by Hansa looks so proud of himself! At around 19.5 inches, this plush forest cat has a thick, furry coat, which is needed in such a cold climate, with a fluffy white chest and tummy and brown fur on his back and tail. Produced from very specific portraits taken in its natural environment, the Handcrafted 19.5 Inch Lifelike Forest Cat Stuffed Animal by Hansa is wonderfully true to life, with wide eyes and the fluffiest, thickest tail which helps these forest dwellers to stay warm in the snow and freezing temperatures. Made using dozens of individual pieces, this stuffed forest cat has been hand sewn by artisans inside out for a smoother finish, while his filling has been sculpted by hand to ensure his musculature and shape are faithfully reproduced – not that you can see it under that glorious coat! Finished with airbrushed details to his face and fur, the Handcrafted 19.5 Inch Lifelike Forest Cat Stuffed Animal by Hansa has been anatomically scaled, too, for an even more realistic look.

Hansa stuffed animals are as lifelike as stuffed animals can be because each animal is carefully designed using significant research and actual portraits of the animal in its natural habitat. Hansa’s goal in being so exact in the creation of their stuffed animals is to educate children and adults about the animals’ lives and to help increase the understanding and appreciation of these amazing creatures and of our co-existence with them. Each stuffed animal is hand sewn using an old world ‘inside-out’ method to minimize the visibility of the seams. Each stuffed animal’s face is hand-finished and airbrushed to give it a truly unique appearance and the body is also carefully sculpted to create realistic features. These true-to-life stuffed animals look great in dens, offices, and display cases and also make excellent playmates. Every piece comes with an educational tag describing, in detail, the animal’s habitat, lifestyle, gestation period, care of young and eating habits. All Hansa stuffed animals meet or exceed all U.S. and European safety standards and are recommended for ages three and up. We suggest gentle surface washing for Hansa stuffed animals.
