#[[ * looks at that thread that i want so much which Al finds out that kitty has been hanging out w/ Angel and decides to prove

[captainbuzzkill999]

continued @ofmoraliity

It's after hours, one minute Husk is cleaning when he's approached and takes one look at Alastor and knows they want to have a very serious conversation with them which will take place in their radio tower. Husk instinctively knows what to do and slowly gets on their knees before Alastor looking at the ground so that they won't push them down roughly by the head..... had to learn that the hard way before they came here to this hotel. When Alastor says that Husk pauses for a few minutes, should they be sad? angry? him and Angel are just starting to slowly become friends and starting to understand each other and trust and just like that it's being taken away from them. Their freedom has been taken away he can not so much as breathe and the radio demon would know nowhere they can go nothing they can do. Yet he's not either because the feline demon knows their place and remembers being exactly like this with their souls they owned when he was an overlord. " Please forgive me Alastor. I don't know what i was thinking, there is only you. " Husk says stiffly, sounds like he's reciting a script he's been trained to say.

Furry Species Stereotypes #1 - By Me

Note;

These are only my personal views of the furry fandom's species I know from my personal experiences with them,

and if not that, then general common assumptions or stereotypes.

Thus, this is not gospel truth for everyone!

If you disagree, please tell me why!

I'd love you guys' take.

I also tried to name as many species I could think about off the top of my head without looking them up, which took FOREEEEVER.

You can reply to this or anon ask me, or DM me with ones I've missed, even your personal own created species (even if no one knows them yet), I'll do them too in a reply to this!

Real existing species stereotypes down below, here!;

WOLVES ; Due to this being the most common persona, you are most likely someone who follows the crowd and likes things that are popular. You however are still a pretty solitary being, preferring a dark corner over a party's dance floor. You love honesty and loyalty and have those traits to a fault, never ever abandoning a friend or ally, in need or not. You may also like things like squishy toys and squeaky toys, fidget spinners, and any manner of play item. Also, basically, to sum it up; YA' BASIC. Sorry. 😆

FOXES ; Somewhat similar to ferrets, raccoons, & sometimes rats, you both scurry around quickly simultaneously physically, and in conversation, and you may "borrow" items from places seemingly like a kleptomaniac, but for sentimental items. Basically if you are friends with a fox fursona, your jacket and/or gloves, pins, pizza (LOL) and many other miscellaneous items may go missing "mysteriously" due to them collecting it as a habit. They almost never mean true harm, they just like keeping your stuff because it reminds them of you, which can be seen as creepy by some people. But it is also very endearing, if done with pure intentions. But you may want to tell the fox to stop taking your things and ask you first! LOL. You always seem to have a ridiculous amount of energy and for some reason, an insane amount of optimistic viewpoints, and positive happy personality. You also like your books, preferring to spend a night reading then playing video games. (Although you do enjoy those too.) You are pretty academic, but yet you can also do well in physical sports, if you're into that sort of thing. There are a few points in the wolf & dog category I would assign here too, most likely due to all three being canines, like liking the squeaky and squishy toys and other stem items, and being verrrry loyal if a bit solitary in nature.

CATS (BIG) ; ...Y'all are usually assholes! There! I said it! I'm sorry to say, but nine times out of 10, you guys seem to be huge dicks, and I'm... not sure why, exactly?? What attracts the enormous dickwad to the big cat's umbrella of wild cat species? Maybe, perhaps, it is the superior, regal, and majestic appearance of big cats,--perhaps relating to their usual narcissism in normal life? Okay, so, I'm exaggerating a little, I have met some big cats that are great and very good friends. But a lot of them I've seen have been downright rude, callous, cold, and distant, at best! And downright asswads at worse!! However it seems like as bad as they go when they're bad, they go really good when they're actually good. When they are cool people, they're actually surprisingly chill, especially when comparing to the other type of big cat. They tend to usually be D.J.s, dancers, comedians, performers or some sort of person in the entertainment field, in some way. Those type're usually hella nice to get along with, however their super friendly exterior disguises a very weird, eccentric and esoteric mind beneath. They also seem to ooze confidence outwardly, even if they aren't confident feeling on the inside. They are royal and regal, and usually relatively unfazed by anything that would hurt normal people pretty badly. These are usually the type of people who don't get into emotions very often, or if they do, they always still have a wall up between them and the other person. They're strong, but that's because they force themselves to be strong, and it makes for a very bad night if the big cat snaps and takes out their very strong, tiger-like roar of anger on others! Thus if you are a big cat, I suggest finding ways to manage your anger, and finding ways to relieve your stress, as I noticed people who are big cats in their fursona tend to be very stressed in real life for some reason. Again, I'm not sure why people who are, are attracted to that species specifically.

CATS (SMALL) ; You kitties are solitary like the big cats and wolves, however much more docile. There's two main types of cats that are house cats in fursona; There's the serious brooding figure that seems to be always alone yet peaking curiosity in everyone's eyes--the type that is stealthy, sneaky, and very cat-like--as in, realistic cat-like. You may sit strangely or have odd habits in voice or body, something that makes you stand out as different. There's also the second type of cat, which is basically an UWU XOXO anime girl that is ridiculously feminine, high pitched, and almost always is a neko type furry character instead of a full furry anthropomorphic character. Not that there's anything wrong with nekos, they're awesome too, it just seems to be a trend that any neko is usually a cat. You may like to actually smoke catnip! (Okay that was a joke LOL, but yes, it is possible, and yes it does get humans somewhat high, but most would not recommend it due to it being short & tasting bad! LMAO 😆) You also really like batting things around, or batting things off tables or counters--when you have a cup of tea beside you, the urge to knock your mug off the table is irresistible, even though your rational mind denies the notion from actually happening. You tend to like yarn snd thread, whether that means just playing with it or knitting or sewing etc. and making creations with it! You usually like fish a lot, mostly sushi is your favorite, and usually, you tend to be more based in Japanese culture.

DOGS ; See wolves, but add loyalty hella and way more people-oriented. you're somehow more basic than wolves 🤣

RABBITS ; As someone who has a rabbit as one of my main 3 fursonas, I have to admit I love rabbits. We are usually very social, unlike the animal we're based on, preferring to conversate and meet people. Although, like the rabbit, we may be shy to actually begin the conversation, or initiate plans on our own. We also scare easily, and most of us for some reason tend to have anxiety or panic disorders, not always, but quite often, and that can usually be why we relate to the characters of rabbits which go still & shake or attack fiercely with their hind legs if scared. There are some people with rabbit fursonas that are definitely fully shy, but a lot of them are actually quite more outgoing than you would think they are. And no, rabbits usually don't love carrots. (Including real rabbits, they eat mostly hay and carrots should only be a treat!) But for some reason one thing I noticed is that almost everybody's fursona in existence is. Just. Super sexual and flirty and just out there in every way. They can come across as perverted and strange to a lot of people due to this, once they reveal their true colours rather than their cutesy entrance, to those they know well.

DEER ; You guys are the innocent bunch, the kids that seemed to never know what was going on when it came to violence or sexual content in any media or situation. This innocence continues throughout your life. You're usually a 'deer in the headlights' and can get very confused easily and a lot, and also you can become quite shy and reclusive if you don't have friends to pull you out of it to shove you into social situations by force. You may not be 'the brightest bulb in the bunch', but you are definitely the friendliest, kindest, and most understanding one in it. Most people love being your friend because your support gives strength that can't be found elsewhere, due to the power and stability of your connection to people. You also may really like salad.

BEARS ; You guys are a bunch of big gentle giants. For some reason, most every person who plays a bear fursona seem to be gigantic in real life, either super tall, or super fat, or super muscular, or a combination or all of the above! Whatever it is, they're always big intimidating figures. Yet, despite this, they seem to be very sweet, mild-mannered and very loyal. They also seem to have a lazy streak, preferring to lay down and eat honey rather than do anything productive on time. Don't get me wrong, they'll do the task, but it'll just take until they feel like doing it. However when they have ambition, they have it and have it well, being able to rise to Big manager positions very easily. They tend to be very shy both in romantic situations and just in general. Despite their large presence, they're just a bunch of softies.

OPOSSUMS ; An opossum is one of my main fursonas, based on me. Plus I can tell you from experience that opossums are little shits. They will pester the shit out of you, text you non-stop, and talk your ears off if you let them. They're not trying to be annoying or clingy, but they're just that type of person that really clings to people and likes talking to people as long as possible when they like them. Like raccoons, rats, and other things on this list, they like hoarding treasure and they tend to be sneaky mischievous little beings, loving to pull pranks or make a joke to make someone laugh hard. The opossums are kind of the clowns of the furry species, always being the comedian of the group. We love soft blankets and we tend to sleep with our head under the covers completely like we were in our mother's pouch. Also a lot of us do what I call the 'human sofa', where we curl around someone's back as they sit, and become their backrest, to snuggle them.

WEASELS & FERRETS ; Same as opossum, but make them scary and super suspicious all the time. I mean seriously, these guys are "sus". Who knows what they're up to? But they tend to be great comedians, and can always crack a joke that's sly and sarcastic to make someone burst out laughing, even if it's just one person who does due to their obscure references to their many fandoms.

RACCOONS ; Same as opossums, weasels, and ferrets--except add that you love trash. Whether this means collecting empty boxes, like shoe boxes and electronic boxes, or collecting old newspapers, or straws, or broken glass, (who knows?!) or making new pretty things out of old withered things, all of it you adore! You enjoy the feeling of making the most out of nothing, and pulling something out of your ass to survive no matter what the situation. This tendency can lead to intense resourcefulness in every area of life.

SKUNKS ; They all tend to be really chill, mostly... because all of you are fucking weed smokers! I guess it comes with the territory since skunks have a skunky smell, but damn does your skunky smell smell skunkier than a skunk! 😆🤣 Okay, okay, now besides the usual stoner stereotypes, you skunks are pretty chill beings, usually preferring a night on the couch. Although when they do catch you adventuring, they'd catch you frolicking in nature, and catching tadpoles, or doing something odd in a river. You love forests, and also love the sounds of city, traffic, and cars passing by. Rain is one of your favourite times.

BADGERS ; Y'all are some bad motherfuckers, the type of person who could kick anyone's ass, any amount of people, and come out without a scratch. People like you are nearly indestructible, and also tend to be somewhat snappy and harsh to others, although usually unintentionally. You tend to love honey, and/or any kinds of sweet things, which tends to contrast with your spicy personality. You have a pain tolerance out of this world, and you also have mental pain tolerance as well, seeming to never get hurt or let down by others' actions. This is due to you never fully trusting, and always preparing somewhat for a let down.

TANUKIS (JAPANESE RACCOON DOGS) ; This is my main fursona, and like opossums, Japanese Raccoon Dogs / Tanukis are ridiculously loyal and strange, almost clown-like beings, and also like raccoons, they love finding old things and transforming them into new. They also tend to be very artistic and really like colours, usually having some form of synesthesia if not multiple, usually having to do with colour association. Also you usually have a very strong connection to Japan and it's culture, either being Japanese or just loving the culture itself, and tend to base a lot of your life around Japanese things. You may even be planning to move to Tokyo someday! Tanukis are notoriously mischievous, but in a friendly, jokey way, and they tend to never want to make people mad. Due to this, they are always very friendly and positive, as much as they can, even if they feel the opposite inside. These are also the types of people to be very esoteric, weird, and downright uncanny, which fits their Japanese theme as Japan does some weird shit too LOL. Also usually stoners. Also pretty flirty, but not overly.

COYOTES & OTHER MISC. CANINES ; As a less common version of dogs, you have some manner of uniqueness about you! You tend to be active, especially physically, and in sports, usually very likely to do hiking as well. You tend to be pretty chipper, although you can come across as sarcastic or biting when you're in a bad mood. When you're in a good mood, everyone can feel it, and your smile brightens up the space around you! People tend to be attracted to your demeanor, even if you don't mean to attract them, they still come, and this quality can lead you to some of your lifelong friends (and perhaps, enemies.).

SHARKS & OTHER AQUATICS ; You aquatic creatures tend to be the jocks of the group, however despite your jockiness, you actually have quite a brain on you; being able to figure out complex things like math problems that are way ahead of where you are, or learning to read very soon in your life, and maybe even being in spelling bees or talent shows later on! You tend to have a scientific mind, and definitely have at least one or two fish tanks, if not a whole room full. You can be a bit perverted, and even a little bit dominating in conversation, but for people who can get past that--you make a loyal, fun, and active friend.

SNAKES & OTHER REPTILES ; You all tend to seem shady no matter how stand-up you are, and the fact that you never go in the spotlight, always preferring to stay by the sidelines and observe and watch others closely. Occasionally, you may leave a small remark, and due to you barely talking, those things you do say echo only louder for those who hear. You tend to be reclusive and secluded, loving the silence of rainy days with no one bugging you, and your beautiful reptiles. You tend to be quite confident, and even heroic at your best, being kind and also empathetic and caring, and intelligent. At your worst, you can come off as cold, manipulative or even cruel at times. Snakes and reptiles are usually seen with dislike and/or fear by others, which can lead to a hardened heart in you that makes you trust less easily, fearing judgement in who you are.

AXOLOTLS & OTHER AMPHIBIANS ; You guys kiiinda tend to be the 'uwu i'm special!!1!' bunch, but rather than in an insensitive annoying way, in the way that you're genuinely childish and innocent and naive, which can be both a blessing and a curse. Like the aquatic axolotl, you stay young forever, (kind of like Peter Pan!) and you seemingly never lose your sense of humour, your playfulness, or your absolute randomness at times. You are someone who would fight to the death for a friend you just met, even though you are usually pacifistic. You have great traits when it comes to caring for others, and fully taking care of others--skills that would bode well for you becoming a nurse, doctor, psychiatrist or therapist. You tend to love water, and will go swimming the whole summer while it's warm enough! You also don't mind, even if it's cold, you'll jump in anyway.

MICE & OTHER RODENTS ; You guys tend to be even more cutesy and little than rabbits! A lot of you guys seem to be age aggressors due to mental illness, and thus choose a very small, innocent animal as their fursona. These people can also just be generally childlike, innocent and playful, albeit very shy. The other type of rodents are the creepy ass ones who give off a high & mighty vibe, being very confident, swaggering, and even mysterious at times. They're the cool kids you see in school, pretending to be some mysterious goth kid, but really they just learned the goth look a week ago.

GENERAL INSECTS/BUGS ; You tend to be very odd, weirding out the general public more than you do connect with them. You've always felt a strange disconnect between yourself and the world, feeling like you're not really there or like you could be more. You might have transformed from being a totally different person in your past, to being a radically different person now. You tend to rule change and dreams and mystic things, perhaps even being some sort of psychic. You tend to have an extremely open mind and a very welcoming, understanding personality, due to you even seeing the beauty in bugs, which so many find repulsive. This quality will follow you into life, which you must be careful of--don't start trusting everyone you meet. Due to you always seeing the best in everyone, you can get taken advantage of easily.

And now fictional/mythical/extinct/hybrids down here;

DUTCH ANGEL DRAGONS ; Y'all give off a very confident vibe to me, although it's hidden under an exterior of pretend anxiety or hesitancy, which you really don't feel. You're one of those preppy kids who tends to dress girly regardless of gender, can't handle coffee but loves their jasmine tea, likes their succulents planted in their house in cute little DIY decorated plant vases, and wears pastels of colour. You tend to be a bright, vibrant person who sees the best in things, and you can be a little naive due to your extreme and blind happiness that radiates purely from you.

GENERAL DRAGONS ; You tend to intimidate others easily, but this is not something you mean to do whatsoever. In fact, you usually try your best to make friends although you usually scare them off, whether due to being unintentionally too clingy, or just being too awkward in conversation. You tend to have anxiety or different worries about things, but you try and overtake these things with a massive upbeat attitude. Although sometimes, this attitude does falter, and you can become somewhat pessimistic without reminder. Also, like raccoons, ferrets and other similar animals, you love to hoard treasure and things you love, everything from gemstones, to rocks, to bottle caps, to pieces of broken glass--it doesn't matter what it is, if it's collectible, you will collect it.

PROTOGENS/PRIMAGENS ; You guys tend to lean heavily into the Japanese aesthetic, or at least into the vapourwave aesthetic. Perhaps even steampunk! Whatever it is, you follow it heavily. You also tend to be a tech nerd. You can help anyone with any computer problem almost effortlessly, and you even have knowledge of technologies in the recent past such as devices like record players, VHS tapes, etc. that most younger people wouldn't know about (if you are young, or if you're old, you know from experience.). You could even be a hacker of some sort if you wanted to, considering your huge skill with computers. Personality-wise you tend to be very cutesy, excitable and both very very innocent, and yet somehow perverted, at the same time. You most likely speak more than one language. I'm not sure why, but it seems like every protogen or primagen I've met speaks multiple languages, two at least, if not more.

SERGALS ; Very similar to sharks, with some qualities of reptiles. You guys also have the Leo zodiac-like personality type of loving to be loved; being in the spotlight is your favourite thing, no matter what it's for! Due to this, some Sergals will tire of reaching for difficult positive attention, and will start to even accept negative attention as attention they want, then will try and act like a troll on purpose to fuck with people, only to get a reaction. Other times they're just chill and generally relaxed people, although if you threaten their family they become very hostile and very unstable emotionally, quickly.

CRUX ; Due to the history of the species being about being experimented on, and abused, and combined, etc. etc., people who play cruxes tend to be pretty edgy "look at how dark I am!!" people. However not always--sometimes, weirdly, very girly, upbeat & happy people will roleplay cruxes. So it's kind of unsure what you'll get when you interact with one. It's pretty much a 50/50 chance on whether they're upbeat & happy, or dark & brooding. Whatever the case, they tend to be usually neurodivergent, since cruxes are mentally ill if you think about it basically, a lot of people have latched on to them as their comfort species for being mentally ill. Like dogs, you love squeaky toys and also you love piercings, and tattoos, and any body modification you can achieve!

PHOENIXES ; Similar 'emo' type to cruxes--people generally choose phoenixes due to their history of being unbreakable when it comes to physical harm. Due to this, a lot of emo people latched on to them. However there are also regular people who play phoenixes, and they tend to be very regal--if a bit intimidating, and are very ambitious & strong-minded people. They have a fieryness that blazes through to show their phoenix-y nature bubbling underneath the surface.

GRYPHONS ; For some reason, you tend to be very aggressive and domineering individuals--think Bakugo Katsuki from My Hero Academia, the anime. Sometimes you can come off as a huge asshole, but you're really well meaning on the inside, and you try to do your best by everyone--you just seem intimidating and aggressive due to resting bitch face and voice, LOL.

DINOSAURS ; You are an excitable individual, whether that means being angry easily, or hyper easily. You tend to be younger in age, or at least younger in mind, having an innocent heart and somewhat ferocious ambitions. You are strong and untamable when it comes to authority figures bossing you around. Most of the time there's no changing your mind if it's set, and you can be very stubborn, pushy, and audacious at your worst, and at your best; proud, confident, encouraging and passionate!

SKULLDOGS & OTHER SKULLIES ; Similar to phoenixes and cruxes, they tend to attract emo, goth, punk, or scene people, however rarely a bubbly girly person will roleplay one, and usually do it with pastel colours instead of dark. They tend to be somewhat reclusive, but yet enjoy people's company when forced to interact. They are people who don't really give a shit much in most circumstances, but when something gets them stirred up, it gets them up and going quickly. They can be somewhat cold and harsh to those who don't know them well, who know that it's all a façade of intimidation, to drive you away from getting closer to them.

FOLVES & OTHER HYBRIDS ; Similar to foxes, you're an excitable hyper furball that will jump around the room, and meet as many friends, and talk to as many people as you can! You guys seem to have none of the reclusive types of personality traits that foxes usually have, and instead seem to be very pack-bonded people! You love finding lucky things, like a clock or license plate that has triple numbers, or picking up a lucky penny off the street. The little things in life make you very happy.

So what do you think?

Did I get your species correct?

If so, or if not, tell me why in the replies! I will read 'em all.

Review: Kitty Surprise Sassy and Her Kittens

Two days ago I stopped by a local Goodwill. I passed by a boxed Kitty Surprise by Just Play being sold for 13 dollars. I kept walking, but when I got home I looked it up and realized what a cool toy it was, and it haunted me for the next two days. Today I went back to the Goodwill, daring to hope it was still there, and lo and behold it was. Not only that, it was 25% off! I got Sassy and her kittens for just $10.

Kitty Surprise is a combination of a plush toy and a blindbox. She has a soft stuffed body with a vinyl face and inside her tummy are 3-5 randomized babies! When I got home and saw this fact online I was so excited! I love blind boxes. I am so glad she was still there when I got back. My Sassy is secondhand, and her box is pretty beat up so I’m very worried she’s missing her babies.

As you can see, she’s a little beat up. Her plastic is warped and the top has been taped shut. But she does still have her little white kitten in front of the “try me” button so I think I’m safe!

The front of her box has a large plastic window showing Sassy and one non-mystery baby. It has the Kitty Surprise logo in the top left and a picture of a child playing with the toy (or excitedly looking at her, at least) in the bottom left. There’s also lots of cute art of her kittens in the bototm right.

I have to say I’m a big fan of her packaging. I’ve seen other Kitty Surprise toys with a picture of the momma cat on the box and I wish Sassy has a picture of herself up here too, because I just love the art style. Just look at those cute little babies! They sort of remind me of the art you would find on Disney VHS covers. Soft gradient shading and coloured lines and I just love it. 

The back has another picture of Sassy and some kittens and then some more pictures of other Kitty Surprise toys. The calico one is named Maple and as much as I love the colour pink (it’s my favourite!) I really want Maple- but I’ve heard she’s the hardest to find and most expensive on the secondary market.

The sides of her packaging have a few more pictures of some kittens and holes cut in the shape of pawprints. The let side has bits of her tail fur poking out. There’s the same picture of the boy kitten in the same place on both sides which looks a little odd when I look at these photos next to one another. 

The bottom is dark blue and has licensing information, the barcode and some links to facebook, twitter, etc.

The top of her box is just a simple continuation of the lilac pawprint pattern and the very top corner of the plastic window.

Kitty Surprise toys come with 3-5 babies! They have fabric bodies and vinyl heads and there are several variations. I really hope I get one with closed eyes. Sassy also comes with one meowing baby! That’s the little white boy up front. He has a voicebox in his chest.

There she is!!!!

Here she is in her box! Her meowing kitten is sitting on a little triangular cardboard structure.

MOST EXCITINGLY I see the zip ties holding her in her packaging are still there!! She definitely still has her babies then!

I took her baby out. You know, I should name him. I asked my boyfriend, Al, what a good name for him might be and we decided he should be Prowl, because Prowl is a mostly white police car Transformer and it sounds like “purr-owl” and he certainly purrs! He was attached to the cardboard with a single white thread sewn through his left paw and into the cardboard. He has a tiny hole in has back paw so I think there might have been another, but I’m not certain. I had to cut the thread to release him, though.

His body is made of soft and shiny slightly furry fabric. It’s pretty low quality, but his body DOES have stuffing in it. Which is actually surprising, based on the photos I’d seen online I thought their bodies were unstuffed and just flat fabric. I’ve seen some photos of the original 1991-1993 Kitty Surprise toys, and they’re based on the lying pose and pretty accurate I think! I actually really like the sitting pose ones, too, and I hope they make a new sitting pose type too. 

Prowl has a soft and gentle, chubby face. You know, I think the relaunch faces like this one look a little more like an actual newborn kitten- but I much prefer the 1991-1993 faces. They looks more like cats.

He has light pink triangles in his ears and a light pink nose and mouth and whisker spots. His face is gentle and made of hollow vinyl. His eyes have black eyelashes and blue irises with two white light flecks. Boy cats have blue ribbons and girl cats have pink ribbons- but other than that there’s no difference. The boy cat on the box doesn’t have styled hair like the girl kittens do and also doesn’t have eyelashes, so I’m glad to see his toy does.

I took a video of his meow. I think it’s a little long maybe. I actually thought at first when I was handling him that he had a few meows that played differently per press, but its just one longish meow. It’s not TOO too long or anything, but it lasts a few seconds. I think it’s very cute.

Here’s the packaging without Sassy or Prowl. There were two zip ties at the bottom that I cut on the other side of the cardboard and then one plastic tie holding her head to the backboard. this one was taped over on the back and I couldn’t quite get it off, so I had to cut it from the front, which was a little uncomfortable, but fine. I like her packaging- the outer part is supposed to look like a pet carrier, which is cool. Her inner part is somehow like a lush pillow and also meadow. I feel like usually I might call this disjointed but I think it looks nice somehow here.

And there’s the pretty mommy herself! She is very soft and silky to the touch, I love it. 

Her tail has a stuffed base in a soft of candle flame shape and covered with this soft yarny fur. I had thought it would be a limp tail and I could curl it around her legs but it’s pretty stiff. 

Her face is made is vinyl. It’s white and light pink and she has blue and black eyes with no whites- this sounds like it would be scary but her eyes are so round it’s cute. Her eyes had light blue rims and darker blue inside circles. She has glittery light pink eyelids and a glitter medium pink nose, and a matte medium pink tongue. She also has light pink blush on her cheeks. I especially like the heart shape on her forehead. I think her eyelids would look better in a darker colour like her nose, but I love her nose! It’s cute and shimmery. Her paint and markings can be a little fuzzy in places, though, as you can see in the whites of her left eyes and along the places where the white and pink vinyl meet. But her nose and tongue are totally clean.

She has pointy little triangle ears  made of the same soft fur of the rest of her body except for the smooth dark pink triangle insides.

She has more pulled yarny hair on top of her head and a little sparkly bow. It feels like trolly hair, which I’m not partial to personally, but there’s nothing wrong with it. I don’t like the style though, since only part of her hair is pulled up into a tiny pony tail on the top of her head- I might try to take it down later.

Sassy has a purple collar with glitter that looks almost like scales. It feels very smooth, though. It’s sewn up on both sides to her neck so it can’t be removed or adjusted. Her tag is a clear dark purple plastic heart filled with silver glitter and has “KS” for “Kitty Surprise” in metallic silver letters.  I like it.

Her body is sooooo soft and fluffy and has dark pink spots on a light pink base. I think her face should have some spots or markings or something to match her body, or at least a white belly or something to match the large white portion of her face. The pink on her face is very light, lighter than her body. or her tail.

It’s a super cute face, but it could match her spots better.

I’m especially a fan of her profile. Her cheeks are cute and chubby and her forehead, nose and mouth all look great from the side. It makes her tongue look like a little “blep” too. Perhaps her eyes could be rounder, though.

Her non display side is quite plain. It’s all regular spotted fur, but from this angle you can see her tags.

The top one has the Kitty Surprise logo on it.

Beneath that there’s some information on the licensing, and there’s washing information under that but I unfortunately didn’t get a photo.

Oh, I can’t wait any longer!! I want to see the babies!

There is a velcro seam along her belly. Velcro has two pieces, the hook and the loop. The loop is the soft part and the hook is the scratchy part that sticks to things. This has a strip of hook velcro but no loop- the inside of the belly is made of an appropriately lower quality fabric that the velcro is stuck to. I worry that this may wear a little over time, but it does make for a very neat seam.

Ah!!! There they are!! Hello little babies!

Sassy’s first kitten is a girl. She has a medium pink face with a darker pink stripe, glittery yellow triangles in her ears, and a dark pink body with a lighter pink tummy. I’m going to name her Paisley. I think it’s a pretty name.

Some of the blue of Paisley’s eyes is visible inside the whites, but otherwise her paint is fine. I don’t like the glitter on her ears- it seems like an odd choice and the yellow-brown doesn’t match her blue colour scheme. I don’t know if it’s randomized or if they all have it.

Paisely has a light pink tummy. She’s has an average amount of stuffing in her body I think. She’s doesn’t tip forward like Prowl.

And there’s the next one! She’s largely similar, but the dark marking on her head extends to cover her muzzle, and her tummy is white.

She’s pretty tightly stuffed! she actually holds her head up- an impressive feat because the vinyl is much heavier than the fabric.

Her eyes are perfect! I still dislike the brown glitter but I like her marking.

And- oh. I guess that’s it. The packaging says she has 3-5 babies, and I know most have three, but I guess I expected that three would mean three babies in her tummy. But I guess that three includes the one on display, so... I got two inside. That was a little disappointing, I wasn’t expecting to get more than three, but I was expecting to pull three out. 

All three have their eyes open! I love their eyes but I was so hoping to get one with closed eyes.

And that’s Sassy and her kittens!

Final thoughts:

I love this concept. I love the idea of a soft blind box type toy. According to Toys R Us’s website, they retail for $24.99. I’ve seen some of the earlier toys of this current reboot line used much cheaper fabric for the babies bodies, and I’m happy to see that those increased in quality. I like the meowing baby, but I wish it was included in the tummy, or that there were still at least three babies in her tummy. It caught me off guard a little that there weren’t. Personally, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the retail price- it is, definitely, fair. However, I can’t see myself paying 25 dollars for it myself, even though I love it. But I think I might pick one up in the future during a black friday sale or if I get a good Toys R Us coupon. 

I think they would be a really fun toy for a child especially. I think I could justify the 25 dollars if a child in my life wanted one. I know they would have a lot of fun opening  it and seeing the babies and naming them. There’s also a lot of variety in the moms, too, with there being Puppy Surprises, Pony Surprises, and even Bunny Surprises! I saw a Pegasus on TRU’s website and boy, oh boy, can I tell you how much I want her.
