Pusheen
If you like to hang around on the internet, you’ve almost certainly already met the funny little gray cat Pusheen who has become something of a deity among the local residents. First created in 2010 by Claire Belton and Andrew Duff for the Pusheen Things comic strip on their website Everyday Cute, Pusheen has now become an internet superstar appearing not only as a series of stickers on popular social network Facebook but in a whole range of merchandise from books including I am Pusheen the Cat, to T-shirts, plushies, and keychains.
Did you know that Pusheen’s name comes from the Irish word for kitten, “puisín”? You learn something new every day!
