This is the second Aurora stuffed animal that I have purchased. I used their humpback whale for a baby shower; it was really cute, soft, and was good quality, so, I actually went out of my way to search for "Aurora Siamese cat", and was happy to find one. It is a bit bigger than a Ty Beanie, and it has some pellets in the chest region. It is not a floppy stuffed animal. It's stiff, but, not overly-so, or in a harsh way. It is not the type that you can bend, or manipulate into poses. I took a picture next to a $5 bill, so that fellow buyers could see that you shouldn't be expecting a 12-15 inch floppy stuffed animal. The fur is soft, but not insanely soft, like you could find on stuffed animals for infants. This would be great for a child, a cuddle companion/toy for a cat, or just simply if you like Siamese cats lol. With ALL stuffed animal purchases made online, there should be a little wiggle room in the expectations department. There will always be some slight, or at times, major differences in person, when compared to the item display photo. It is to be expected; but, I personally trust the Aurora World brand, since they've yet to disappoint me. I'll add that it arrived in an unopened plastic bag, clean, with no scratches on the eyes. Personally, I'll be sending this little guy to my eldest brother, who is expecting his first child. He and his wife have a Siamese cat, so, I ordered a customized onesie with a Siamese on it. I thought a little stuffed Siamese would partner well with the onesie, and this adorable cat did not disappoint.
