I'm hoping all you cat lovers might be able to help me find something. My niece is in love with my Pebbles cat. She is only 2 years old and does nothing but talk about and make stories up about my Pebbles kitty. Whenever she comes over we go through a whole scenario - Who's Zoeys mom? Auntie Lisa she says. Who's Peanuts mom? Shauna she says. Who's Snickers mom? Ashleigh she says. Who's Pebbles mom....I am she says. It's so cute! She doesn't have cats a home - only dogs and like I said - she's fascinated with Pebbles. So, for Christmas I wanted to get her something that had to do with cats. I was looking at those furreal kittens, but I would really like to get her something that has Pebbles markings (any cat item that might remind her of Pebbles Kitty).
Pebbles has the classic colorings and markings of a sealpoint ragdoll (I think?). Dark face, blue eyes, dark legs, but white paws, tufts of fur between the toes, curly hair on the belly, very fluffy brown tail, and almost a dirty, off-white coat which I think is sealpoint? I really don't know...she's just a DLH to me, but I know she carries a lot of the traits of a rag - I've had 3 vets ask me if she was (which honestly her father might have been. She does the classic hanging like a ragdoll).
Anyways....to make a long story short....I'd like to find her something that looks like Pebbles. Any ideas? Anyone? (Plus it would drive her father nuts since he really doesn't like cats at all....
)

Possible Pebbles has Birman traits? Not Ragdoll? I don't know anything, I'm just trying to describe her to you. All I know is that I did find a stuffed cat by Gund that said "Birman" and it looked a bit like Pebbles. Please excuse my ignorance.

Thanks so much guys! I must be complete computer illiterate because I didn't find any of those and I was on Amazon and Target (Not nextag though - that's new!) and the others I havent' heard about either. Now I don't know which one to choose. Although - the GUND Birman in Gardenandcats first post really looks like my Pebby. Pebbs is a long hair and it really looks a lot like her.

The other thing I had "toyed" with for a little while was one of those furreal cats. Not the kitten though (it doesn't sound as exciting as the cat), but I had no idea you couldn't find those anywhere. They're expensive on Ebay and there are very few of them. Most they do have are from Europe somewhere too....arrggghhh...and I would worry not only about the shipping, but making it for Christmas time. When did this happen with the furreal? Has it been like this since they came out? Or just recently? I never really paid any attention to this toy until now.
