Cat Insignia Items

Do you really like cats? Aren't afraid to show it? Same here! :3
Here are some of the many Cat Insignia items I have gathered.

Hikosen Cara

Brand of Japan, handmade in Vietnam. Due to the fact that each one is hand stitched, supplies are somewhat limited, and no two products are exactly the same. Here are some I have picked up:
  
  
  
There are those who find little imperfections endearing and individual, which I can understand. But as for me, I can nitpick out a flaw from a mile away. So when I buy handmade Hikosen Cara merchandise, I am obligated to sift through the entire stock range to hunt for the most symmetrically stitched products.

I also wanted to upgrade my phone, so I went with something that would fit into this black Nyanko cat case.

Last but not least, my newly acquired Pusheen balloon necklace. :3

Canvas Cat Print Bag

Brandless, good sized shoulder bag. There was only one available when I bought it, otherwise I would have ordered three.

  

And a handmade plush keychain. It's very well stitched and has a velvety feel.
   
Arashi Cat Stampers
   
Handmade in Japan, with many different stamp designs available. These were the ones I took an interest in and bought. :>
   
  

There are also some DIY Korean cat stampers in a tin.
Plus the Cat Naps diary and calendar, so I can organise my year!
  
Cat-opoly
  
This is an official cat version of Monopoly. The pewter movers are all quite detailed.

  

I snuck a very cute Crux cat notebook in as well.

Neko Club Plush
   
Japanese cat plush and keychains. There are many different variations and themes available. I have a lot of the birthstone series below, along with some other stuff.
  
  

The top black cat is the Furyu Corporation 'Nemu Neko' Cat. The two cats on the bottom are Korean plush.
 
Mizzy Crochet Cats
   
These were created by an artist named Diamine, and can still be found here. :]
 
  
 
The Japanese lucky cat ornament was an end of year gift. It is hollow inside and rattles when shaken.

  1. I like the look of handmade cat products. They have a more unique look to them than mass produced stuff.

  2. Your post starts with the question, and that forced me to think ... - Thank you. You helped me to check out my emotions. Yes, I love the cats and the fingers which express the hearts with lovely handicrafts. Though at first glimpse my blog Art by Tomas looks like unrelated to pets, yet if one truly enjoy the life, he loves cats too. Love to cats is love to our being here and now.

  3. Hey, we had a fire recently and lost a much-beloved cat plush. We were wondering if you've seen it before. It looks like the profile pic and background for this twitter account: https://twitter.com/sacq_qat
    We call him the Sack Cat, we love him very much, we'd like to reincarnate him if possible.
