context_page_description: Pusheen is a female cartoon cat who is the subject of comic strips and sticker sets on Facebook, Instagram, and other social media websites. Pusheen was created in 2010 by Claire Belton and Andrew Duff for a comic strip on their website, Everyday Cute. More recently, the Pusheen character has been used in social media posts and on the Pusheen blog.
  On the official Pusheen website, Pusheen is described as being a female cat who loves blogging, snacking, and going on adventures. The original comic strip series included characters modeled after Belton, Duff, their dog named Carm, and Pusheen, a chubby grey tabby cat based on Belton's cat that now lives with her parents in Oregon. Pusheen's name stems from the word puisín, which means kitten in Irish. Occasionally, Pusheen and her sister Stormy are drawn in different themes, such as Pusheenosaurus Rex, where Pusheen is a dinosaur and Stormy is in a dinosaur egg. She can also be a Pushicorn, Purrmaid, and many other themes. Pusheen has a mom, dad, husband, a sister named Stormy, a brother named Pip, two kids, and an array of furry friends, including Sloth the sloth, Bo the parakeet, and Cheek the hamster.
context_section_description: The Pusheen corporation started selling Pusheen merchandise after the popularity of the cat took off in July 2010. The first Pusheen merchandising was sold on the Everyday Cute website as a charm keychain, and necklace. From there, the merchandising expanded. In 2014, Gund developed an interest in the cartoon cat and became the manufacturer for Pusheen's plush toys and blind boxes, which helped the brand take off. Now, Pusheen Corp has teamed up with many brands to create and sell merchandise in stores, including retailer specific items. Pusheen Corp's has many current retailers, including Hot Topic, Books-A-Million, Barnes & Noble, Claire's, Petco, Walmart, Target, FYE, and Gund. Pusheen also has a Funko Pop! line that consists of various styles of vinyl figures. Pusheen Corp expanded their merchandising to the website formerly known as Hey Chickadee, which was rebranded as The Pusheen Shop in April 2019. The website features merchandise collections dedicated to the cartoon cat, which includes plush toys, clothing, home decor and various accessories. A quarterly subscription box, called the Pusheen Box, filled with Pusheen Products, is also available.
