THE 1986 CATS + DOGS​

1986 FIRST RUN

These were the first run of 1986 cats and are identifiable by their embroidered tush tags with a 1986 Copyright date and

airbrushed points of their ears, face, paws, and tail.  These were in production starting 10/15/1986 per patent information.  This run was shipped directly to Ty’s residence which were then airbrushed, repacked, and shipped to retailers just in time for Christmas of 1986. No documentation exists for these cats, no order forms or flyers have ever surfaced as these were probably all sold by Ty Warner and Patricia Roche personally bringing examples to retailers and gift shows to take orders all with pen and paper invoices.  Since the entire production cycle completed within the year of 1986 I would designate these examples as part of the “1986 Collection”.

Ty has been quoted stating it all started with the original 10 Himalayan Cats, no time in early Ty history were exactly 10 cats ever produced by any records I have obtained.  The above list is still theoretical as some have not yet been confirmed. I do know that the flat cats were produced first and the following shipments would include seated Himalayan cats meaning the flat dogs could account for the total as noted above and Ty quoted this for simplicity in context of the interview.
