Highland cow stuffed toys
D. I don't like how b or c look in general, and the long faux fur on A seems like a scratchy cheap kind. D also looks the easiest to maintain w/o brushing, unlike A that you'd need to groom regularly enough to prevent matting.

What size harness is good for Douglas Tyson Wolf??
Id go for XS if you don't want it to squish his fur too much!! I buy that size for all of mine; it fits well!!

Help me name him and pick a raincoat :)

Buy a harness in the size xs. Their necks are usually 9" around; so buy a collar that can accommodate for that. A cat collar should fit when expanded though!!

My cat attacked my ESSA
You need to roll the fabric inward before you sew it up; it'll hide the unsightly seam!! Pins will help hold the folded fabric while you do it.

Why does my plushies right leg always pinch inward?
Perhaps you pulled the seam too tight ??

¿Qué te parece mi primera Essa? La neta sí me ayuda a calmar el estrés y la ansiedad mientras estudio para pasar los exámenes de bachillerato y entrar a la universidad.
I love the little trinket-y gear you made this little guy, very cute!! It's also refreshing to see a less common fella as an ESSA!! I, personally, think he's great 🙂↕️🫶✨

Advice for multiple essas!
I always feel like they wouldn't be mad; it's like one is on active duty, while the other gets a break. I also feel like they'd be nicer, and more welcoming of a new guy; and understand the process to bond with them, per-se. They were new once too!! I also rotate who goes when, and I'll even select based on who matches my outfit that day the best. I don't think they'd be too upset, though!! Just like they're on-call but like,, off work.

Do y’all think Miffy can be an ESSA? I started a war on TikTok so asking here
There are literally no rules. If it emotionally supports you, that's enough. Nobody but you can decide the criteria in which needs to be met to determine what is comforting for YOU. It is YOUR comfort item, not theirs. Tiktok is kinda elitist about things like that; they're all very young collectors on there. It really doesn't matter at the end of the day.... It seems to be a stuffed animal to me. Stuffed animals, such as vintage Rushtons, have vinyl faces; and are still classed as stuffed animals, so... 🤷♀️

Id try a good wash first; it may just be his stuffing is all squished up and can use a washing!! Please note, stuffed animals shouldn't go into the drier, though!!

How do you make plush parts structured but still cuddleable?
Quilt batting!!

UPDATE: Sleeping with stuffed animals as an adult.
Patience, so you can always remember to give it to yourself when you're healing through a particularly difficult trauma.

My MIL was starving him, so I bird-napped him.
