Snow Kitty is made from snow in Hokkaido (Japan's northern island). You can pay online or bank transfer and it will be delivered right to your door. Kitty snowman is packed in the plastic mold and delivered in a refrigerated delivery pack. When it arrives, you just open it and have fun with the decorations included in the package. You can decorate the frozen kitty by sticking 2 eyes, 1 nose, and 6 whiskers on Kitty's face.
