Flat-Headed Cat Shaped Pillow | Endangered Wetland Feline Plush
Meet the home decor that looks like a cat designed by someone who had only ever seen an otter: the Flat-Headed Cat Shaped Pillow from Soon To Be Mythical. This isn't just a cushion; it's a huggable tribute to the weirdest, most aquatic feline in Southeast Asia. Shaped like the Prionailurus planiceps, this pillow captures the flattened skull, tiny ears, and wide-set eyes without the fishy smell. It’s soft enough to squeeze when you feel like an evolutionary oddball, cute enough (in a pug sort of way) to be endearing, and shaped perfectly for lurking near your water glass.
Important: Due to shipping logistics (and the Cat's specific wetland habitat), this product is available in the US only.

💚 Why It’s Tragically Perfect
-
The Face: Let's be honest—they look like they ran into a sliding glass door. This pillow celebrates that unique, streamlined beauty.
-
Aquatic Cat: Unlike your house cat, this species has webbed toes and loves swimming. This pillow is the perfect companion for a bath (don't get it wet, though) or just dreaming of wetlands.
-
Gallows Decor: A conversation starter that pivots from "What is wrong with that cat?" to "Actually, it's a Flat-Headed Cat, and they are endangered due to palm oil plantations destroying their wetlands" instantly.
📉 Endangered Stats
Let’s talk about the Otter-Cat:
-
Endangered: Fewer than 2,500 mature individuals remain, scattered across Borneo, Sumatra, and the Thai-Malay Peninsula.
-
Habitat Specialist: They rely 100% on wetlands and lowland forests. As these are drained for palm oil, the cats disappear.
-
Teeth: They have sharp, backward-pointing teeth specifically for gripping slippery fish.
-
Conservation Support: A portion of every pillow purchase goes to nonprofits working to protect Southeast Asian wetlands and stop the conversion of forests into plantations.
🖤 Perfect For
-
Cat lovers who prefer the "weird" breeds.
-
People who feel like they don't quite fit the mold.
-
Anyone who knows that "flat" is a valid head shape.
-
US-based fans of weird, wonderful, and vulnerable wildlife.
Hug it like a weirdo you're proud to know. Because if the Flat-Headed Cat disappears, the wetlands lose their most unique predator. Let’s keep the swamps wet and help Postpone the Myth.
