Handcrafted 17 Inch Lifelike Pallas Cat Stuffed Animal by Hansa

Take a walk on the wild side with the Handcrafted 17 Inch Lifelike Pallas Cat Stuffed Animal by Hansa. At first glance, you might think that this plush Pallas cat is another breed of domesticated kitty, but despite the cuddly look, these magnificent moggies are wildcats and prefer the colder air in the mountains of Central Asia. The Handcrafted 17 Inch Lifelike Pallas Cat Stuffed Animal by Hansa is unique, though, as she simply loves to be hugged although she’d make a stunning display piece, too. These wildcats have the longest, thickest fur of any cat, with the longest appearing on their belly and tail to keep them warm in snowy climes; this stuffed Pallas cat’s coat has been made from specially selected fabrics (with more than 860 to choose from) to closely resemble the real thing, with a white underside, mottled gray upper, and delicate markings on her face thanks to some very skilled airbrushing. Handmade by artisans throughout, the Handcrafted 17 Inch Lifelike Pallas Cat Stuffed Animal by Hansa has been sewn inside out to minimize seams, while her soft fiber fill stuffing has been sculpted by hand to create this stunning cat’s musculature and form. Crafted using portraits taken in the animal’s natural environment, this Pallas cat stuffed animal is anatomically scaled to bring you a real sense of authenticity.

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.
