NEED HELP WITH POSSIBLE ART THEFT!!

Hey, guys, I need some help.  This morning I saw that Urban Outfitters has started selling a sweater with a freakishly familiar design.  I don’t want to jump the gun and start saying that this design was stolen from me, but the similarity is uncanny.  I don’t have a trademark on foxes curled into a heart shape so I’m not sure if this officially qualifies as “copyright infringement”.

What do you guys think?  Is this too similar to be a cooincidence?  If so, what should I do?

The sweater can be found here and my artwork here.

What do you guys think?

sadly, heart cuddle foxes are really common. Even if they did theif it up, they’ll be able to pull a truckload of works previous to yours to show a common theme.

hmm, tried to search for some more and didn’t find anything.  maybe not all that common after all.

I know I’ve seen maybe ONE other drawing of foxes forming a heart, but the pose was completely different.  I actually liked that one more but I cannot remember whose it was nor where I saw it.  Foxes cuddling, sure, they’re not rare at all, but I think it’s the heart shape that’s harder to come by, if done anywhere else

This is why I asked for other opinions, because it’s the similar pose that struck me, not just the idea of foxes cuddling.  Thanks!
