Sack Cat Search!
 

Hi. I went to Japan in May of 2008 and purchased a stuffed cat at a Saifu store. The cat has gone on to enjoy immense popularity with friends and family, and I have tried on several occasions to purchase more. I have been unable to locate any, though.

So I figured I'd try this board. An image of the toy posing with its girlfriend, car!cat, is linked below. The toy is black and ball-shaped, has blue and white contrast threading on its face, and pink cloth at its ears. There was another version of the toy that came in white.

If anyone can provide me with information or keywords I could use to find this toy online somewhere, I would appreciate it. It may have been on sale for Valentine's Day.

As an additional incentive, whoever is able to provide me with information that leads directly to the acquisition of additional Sack Cats will receive 80USD via PayPal.

First person only.

Good until 8/8/2011, or if I'm still feeling desperate after this date.

Is there a tag?
A photo of it would be immensely helpful.

There is, in fact, no tag. No identifying markings of any kind. Nothing interior except for stuffing. I have been told its construction greatly resembles the SAN-X black pig, but that has been, so far, my only lead.
