And here, because everyone is so darn curious:

I love his tail - what colour are his eyes?

Oh, how beautiful! Both of them. *g* Malfoy's an excellent name for him.

Thanks for the photos. If you had not told me I would have thought that cushion was a modern design. Wow. And Mafloy is very handsome

The cushion is wonderful! I love how they have the mirror beneath so you can see more than just the top. That's my biggest pet peeve with museums.

I'm really excited about the cushion and can't wait to read what you write-up about it. I hope there are close up photos, so we can see the pattern better. It's hard for me to tell what's fabric decoration and what's different fabrics.

Malfoy looks to be a very pretty cat.

Glad you're having fun!

Ha ha! You're there. Any idea what it's stuffed with? (Said the man with the odd sense of curiosity.) I find the idea of a 500 year old cushion amazing.

Yay Malfoy!

(Oh, yeah, the cushion is rather snazzy, too LOL)

What a handsome boy!

Fascinting cushion...and it's patchwork, you say! My embroiderer's eye would guess applique at first glance. What are the dimensions (approximately)...can't judge scale from the pic.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

Wants to snuggle the kitty-cat!

That's gorgeous - and amazing! I'm just so GLAD for you, that you're there, seeing it up close and personal! :-)

And Malfoy-the-cat is also quite gorgeous. ;-)

I am completely amazed on both counts.
