R.I.P. Flat Cat

"Only one left." These are words we never like to hear about our most beloved products, and I had to say it about the Flat Cat just the other day. This simple and wonderful product was made by Blue Q, one of our favorite companies and we have been selling it for years. As a matter of fact, we were their first customer, at their first gift show in New York, and I believe the Flat Cat was their first product. I looked at our last cat and thought of the many items I have let slip through my fingers — the wall mounted musical airplane . . . the cowboy hamster . . . the photo-ing on car — all things I thought I'd take home "some day" and then a customer asked for one and it was the last one. It's true that sometimes companies bring discontinued items back — but the flat cat has already been discontinued and revived once — so I grabbed the flat cat and he is now living with me.
