The plush comes from a non smoking household.  Normally I wash plush but this has a tag attached so I didn't.  I don't detect an unpleasant smell.  I see a little discoloration on the back of the heels and a small mark on the left cheek.  At first glance I thought it was a mouse but the tag says otherwise.  The tag is attached on the bottom under the coat.  It mentions the animal being a cat.  The height is 12".
