Dear Tom:

My husband was looking at your products and started to laugh at Mr.
B's serious little face.
I could not get Mr. B out of my mind and made this little illustration.
He looks like a great cat!
Sincerely,
Rebecca Siemering
Pawtucket, RI

Rebecca also enclosed the following
poem to her illustration - both of which we
post with THANKS and with her permssion -

"“Hello! My name is Mr.B.
I’m a serious cat.
I’ve got mittens and know how to use them."

That's exactly the outfit Mr. B would choose (if you let him go out shopping).

I am thinking that you should get a Softrelease made that is engraved with with Mr. B's head from this portrait. Orange with black engraving would be most appropriate.

I would buy several.

T&T and Mr B says:

Ben,
what a wonderful idea. Will have to discuss with our laser-guy
about feasibility and if ok with him will of course have to ask Rebecca's permission.

Sockeyed says:

I hope it works out! I'm sure they would be hot sellers given that Mr. B is such a celebrity.

T&T and Mr B says:

Ben,
I think it should work out just well. I think it's now dependant on the colour combination & cost.
Tom says you cannot anodize Softies
in orange --so it looks like it would have to
be chrome engraving on a red Softie.
Any opinions on this?

Sockeyed says:

I would sprinkle a variety of softies with different colour combinations on the floor in front of Mr. B, and see which one he is most enamoured with.

How about silver with black engraving? Or black with red engraving, like the Voigtlander ones?

I'll check with Rebecca but I'm pretty sure she would be thrilled! I would buy several of those as well, in any color combo Mr. B chooses. Fun!

I think that the drawing look quite nice on a rapidwinder either on the front off to one side or on the bottom like a maker's mark on a piece of china..

I am SO glad I have waited (OK, procrastinated) to buy some more softies.

Have wee or not-so-wee? Both?

I noticed the website says you'll be making softies from this in `09. Any hints on the color & when they'll be available at this point? I just happened to have purchased a new body that will be needing a release.

T&T and Mr B says:

it will be Mr B tabby-yellow...our anodiser is testing the colour
so pls stay tuned.

gbhill says:

just wondering how the Mr. B softies were coming along?
Posted 4 months ago. ( permalink )

T&T and Mr B says:

Hi!
Planning to have them ready this month.
100 Softies are ready to be anodized & engraved.
Our engraver Henley just opened his own business
and is getting all the bugs out so we are about
a month later than originally planned.

T&T and Mr B says:

Yes of course.Thanks! Have just marked your name on the Mr B list which is growing "rapidly". :-)

Sjixxxy says:

I wish to be on the exclusive list as well. I have a bad weak spot for animals in Victorian clothing.

T&T and Mr B says:

Hi
OK. Thanks. Have added you too to Mr B list. Pls note that not the whole suit will be in the Softie.
It will look like this but on Tabby yellow

~ Nando ~ says:

The tabby-yellow may match well with the yellow lettering on black lenses.

T&T and Mr B says:

Good point Fernando,
you are of course on the list already! :-)
