Mysterious Kitties in Comic

[shaz]

I got a new Kitty comic today (no. 7, from October 1996) and on the page of toys coming soon are these Tiny Friends! The Tiny Friends themselves are familiar (they were later released in an Animal Hospital set), but who are those two cats on the left, and why have I never seen them before?! Were they even sold? Hoping someone here might know more. The same set is also pictured in Puppy comic no. 14.

I looove those variations and wish they made them!

Here's a thread where we talked about them a little:

Also if you search "georgie" on this forum they pop up a few more times but nothing too interesting.

Thanks for the info! I thought maybe they weren't made. Shame, they're really cute!
