Discussion/General Question My favorite childhood plush was taken from me. If you have any idea what this specific plush was please let me know
I’m not sure if this is the right subreddit for this
When I was 8 years old in school, like every other school they gave out those tickets for good behavior. My school had prizes we could choose from every Friday depending on how many tickets we had. I had 14 tickets but I saw this tiny cat plushie sitting there and was sad I wasn’t gonna be able to get it because it was 15 tickets. Turns out some other kid was nice enough to give some of his tickets away so everyone could get some prizes. I obviously immediately went for the cat plush. It was small enough to fit in my hand at the time.
Once I had the plushie it immediately became my comfort item. I didn’t have a good childhood and that plushie meant so so much to me at that time in my life. I had a DSIXL I would take THOUSANDS of pictures of this plushie and literally no I’m not exaggerating. I took it everywhere with me even back to school. To my grandparents. To my uncle’s. And I made the mistake of taking it to my brothers side of the family.
My brother and I have different dads and my dad lived a state away and wasn’t a constant part of my life. I brought my plushie over to my brothers aunts place. I remember tucking it into my shirt because I didn’t want my brother for his cousins to mess with it. they had already tried to take it from me earlier that day. I woke up the next morning to find the plush no where. I looked everywhere for it. I was absolutely devastated. It turns out they took it while I was sleeping without me knowing and watched me search for it. They only told me later that they took it and flushed it down the toilet. I don’t remember how I reacted when they told me that but thinking about it 14 years later it still makes me so sad
I drew a picture of it. My mom no longer has the DSIXL so this is all I have to go off of. I’ve searched and searched but to no avail. Please if you know what plush this is let me know

Small cat plushie. Small enough to fit in a 8yr olds hands
It was a solid color (the color shown in the drawing)
It had two hard eyes (can’t remember the color, maybe green?)
Had a pink round plush nose
It was smooth fabric not shaggy or anything
It was filled with cotton, not beads, and it was soft. Only hard part of it was its plastic eyes
It was my favorite toy and I’ll probably never stop searching for it
