Inspired by Alice in Wonderland Cheshire Cat and the Maine Coon cat breed, this  OOAK cat is made from faux fur and leather in a realistic laying down position. Armature in the body, tail and legs which permit you to pose the cat and it has as a double jointed neck. Grinning open-mouth with hand sculpted the teeth. The Cheshire Cat disappears in the story book so when you put the Cheshire Cat in the dark his teeth remain smiling at you! Hand sculpted nails and appliquéed stuffed black leather paw pads and nose. Hand painted eyes that also glow in the dark. Shaved fur
to give different coat lengths as in a realistic cat. Needle sculpted and air brushed details in the face and paws.
