Looking at it again… I think the legs are the weakest point, from both practicality and elegance points of view. Yes, this is a good nursing-mama-cat or maximum-exposure-to-sunny-spot pose. But a more compact pose, with legs retracted (Sphynx-like) or curled with hind legs brought up to head, would use room space better and would look nicer – and would make a better and more believable lounging surface. It would be a somewhat more complicated soft-sculpture, admittedly; more curves and tucks… but if it can be done in a 12" toy it can be done on this scale.
The head, likewise, isn’t great – again, I’ve seen a lot of toys which have done it better. Admittedly the toys aren’t fighting gravity as badly, but still…
Harry, one of my cats, says to tell you “mwuh”. He’s got a point.
