Stuffed Animals / Plushies

Heyo! Do you use plushies or stuffed animals to keep you feeling “OK” or to help you feel better? I’m 24 and I almost always have a small stuffed animal in my bag. Right now I’m at the Allergist’s office and I have my little toy in my lap. It helps me feel better… More than just “better”, actually, but I can’t think of how to describe it.

I have kept so many of my son’s plush toys. They’re so cute that it’s just difficult to part with them. He has some of these:

I have a bunch of Totoro plush magnets on my fridge at home. I just love Studio Ghibli movies and characters. :blush:

Me, too! Studio Ghibli films are so fun. My favorites are Kiki’s Delivery Service, Princess Mononoke, and Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.

Yaaay. high five
I sleep with my stuffed animals, too. Thankfully, my husband thinks it’s cute rather than weird. :sweat_smile:

Nothing wrong with that.

I didn’t have much toys when I was kid ( comparing to today’s toy industry) so I’m kind of hypnotized whenever I enter the toy store.
I still keep my weird looking plush fox.
I ordered a plush elephant for my son from England. Unfortunately he is not into plushes anymore.

My backpack buddy. Cats and foxes together! (don’t tell @flameoftherhine, he can’t stand that kind of thing.)

My kitten has a gang of stuffed cats called the Wylde Felynes. They accompany her everywhere, her vet calls them her support animals. Excellent excuse for me to keep buying stuffed animals! They’re for the cat, not me!

When I first looked at your picture I thought you photoshopped your kitty over the bear :smile: LOL. I am sorry, my mind is weird. :v:
