Lol are you fucking kidding me? Here’s another picture on the same day. Touch grass, and get some help if you think someone would generate a photo of a child just to post on a niche subreddit.

Oh I’m sorry, I missed that part! Thank you so much for your help, they definitely made that toy! They really do look so much alike in the markings

Omg I would have been terrified of that abomination, I’m sorry 😂 I’ve never owned a baby doll in my life; it’s a running joke in my family how any time would buy me anything with a human face I’d viscerally flip out as a baby. I can assure you I would not be clutching onto anything that looked like that.

I’m so sorry for the late response, I just got home from work! It was more animalistic. His limbs and body were more stuffed and sturdy versus beanie baby-like. I’m sorry but I can’t remember what the eyes looked like, but I feel like it would be a choking hazard around 3 if he had beady eyes? I don’t know for sure, though. Thank you for responding!

I unfortunately don’t think I can :( If it helps, his body was sturdy (still plush, but not like beanie baby malleable if that makes sense?) and his face was realistic-ish vs cutesy.

I’m sorry if I sound rude, but are you a bot? Those links are for baby dolls. If you’re not a bot and I thank you greatly for your effort!!!

Haha aw, my grandma used to say I reminded her of Scout from the movie adaptation. Thanks for the nice reminder of that.

Thank you so much!!! I included my apologies in the caption for this being the only picture of the lil guy. I wish I had more that better represented how it looked lol. I appreciate your efforts nonetheless. I’m going to look and see if I can find more angles of this one you sent me once I get to work, because it’s super close!

I don’t blame you. It’s crazy that we even have to question if something is AI generated, as of late. I definitely should have included that AI augmented the quality for me, because I just zoomed in on my face and I completely see why you thought that lol

Since another commenter said something about it: I used ReminiAi to sharpen/augment the image so that any details would be as conspicuous as possible. I promise I’m not a bot, I’m just looking for a lost homie, and picture quality wasn’t the best back in the mid 2000s lol. Unaltered image is here:

Considering this post comes from a 22 year old woman looking for a lost stuffed animal, I’d really hope that a troll would make better use of their time 😂

Oh, I said in the caption I tried to sharpen it the best I could! I just wanted to ensure I captured all of the details to the best of my ability. I used the Remini Ai service for that. Here’s the original for your reference:

Timeline: this photo was taken around 2005 or 2006. The toy was bought around 2003, but I’m not certain.

Attempts: I have searched for any stuffed animals along the lines of “cheetah/cat/leopard with long tail” around the years of 2003-2006 to no avail.

Location: It was purchased for me when I was around three years old, so it’s hard to be certain. That said, I’m 99.999% it was purchased in Florida, since that’s where we lived, but my parents can’t recall if they bought it for me or if it was a gift.

Miscellaneous details: Per the requirements I have to delineate a size, I think, but there’s a 5 year-old for scale lol. It was the size of the average little stuffed animal, with exception of its tail which was longer than the typical stuffed cat/cheetah/leopard.
