*** I don't think so. At least not in the stories ''themselves''. Rabbit and Owl (even the Disney versions) look more real than Pooh and the other characters. Also, Owl can fly (like real owls) and he seems to have ''real'' feathers. I don't think that could very easily be explained if he's another stuffed toy, but if he's a real owl it makes ''perfect'' sense. Even [[Film/ChristopherRobin Christopher Robin]] established them as real animals if I remember correctly.

* At the end of ''Winnie The Pooh And The Blustery Day'' Pooh is thrown a hero party for saving Piglet. Eeyore shows up and says he found a house for Owl and takes them to Piglet's house. Piglet gives his house to Owl, Pooh says Piglet can live with him and the hero party is adapted so it's for both Pooh (for saving Piglet) and Piglet (for giving up his home). That's all fine with me. The problem is: Eeyore stayed out ''all night'' in a ''rainstorm'' to find Owl a new house after his old one was destroyed. Nobody says "Thank you" to Eeyore. I mean, fine, you don't have to throw him a party since he kind of screwed up, but it all worked out in the end. At the very least I would think ''Owl'' would be grateful to Eeyore, but he doesn't say so much as "Thanks." They're all jerks.

** This in fact worsens if you take later features such as ''Piglet's Big Movie'' and ''Spring Time For Roo'' into concern where Tigger is shown to already be an established friend of Pooh's before Kanga and Roo moved into the Hundred Acre Wood (two of the first supporting characters we meet in ''A Honey Tree'').

** The animals are shown to be ''very'' LiteralMinded at times, so one train of logic tends to null out another one. In one ''New Adventures'' episode, Eeyore took over Pooh's house in his absence. Just the fact it had Eeyore's property in it at that point convinced both him and Pooh it was now Eeyore's house the whole time.

Added DiffLines:

* In ''And the Blustery Day,'' first Owl's house comes crashing down, ''then'' we meet Tigger for the first time, the flood occurs, Eeyore "finds" a house for Owl (which is actually Piglet's house), and Piglet gives Owl his house at Trespassers Will, moving in with Pooh. ''A Day For Eeyore'' includes Tigger, but also has Owl in his old house in the tree. Piglet doesn't live with Pooh, as we see him trying to reach the knocker. Therefore, Tigger's presence in ''A Day For Eeyore'' is a bit of a continuity snarl-- if he's already a known quantity instead of a terrifying growl in the middle of the night, Owl's house ''shouldn't be there.''

** Owl and the others do seem to say their thanks to Eeyore (or in more precise wording 'bravo') prior to finding out the location of the house. I debunk the idea of everyone being a 'jerk' to Eeyore however, namely because of the cast seem to lack the basic ability to be 'jerks' (par Rabbit and maybe Tigger to an extent). They can however cause problems for TheChewToy characters largely from their own well intentioned stupidity or obliviousness, though granted whenever they do figure out their wrong doing they feel rather bad about it and try to make amends (see ''A Day For Eeyore'').

Eeyore and Owl inadvertantly rendering Piglet homeless could possibly be attributed to this as well (Owl at least is known to be incredibly scatter brained).
