SAN DIEGO, July 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Petco today unveiled an exclusive collection of cat toys, beds, collars and bowls inspired by Pusheen the cat. The collection is as endearing as the beloved animated cat it's inspired by, with nearly 20 products that range in price from $5 to $30, now available online at Petco.com/Pusheen and in stores Aug. 20.
Designed to reflect the adventures of the titular gray tabby cat, the collection features toys and accessories with imagery of pizza and ice cream, among other nostalgic illustrations that will leave cats joyful for hours on end. Energetic felines will find entertainment for hours playing with the Pusheen Donut Cat Teaser Toy and the Pusheen Cuddling Cat Bed is perfect for Pusheen-loving, playful kittens to curl up in for nap time. Stylish cats can show their Pusheen fanaticism 24/7 with the Pusheen Cookie Cat Collar.
"We're thrilled to be the exclusive retailer for the unique Pusheen Pet Collection," said Rebecca Frechette, Petco executive vice president, chief merchant officer. "The personality, spirit and warmth characterized by Pusheen is the perfect setting for a collection that will make playtime memorable for pets and pet parents."
"We're beyond excited to introduce Pusheen into the world of pets through our partnership with Petco," said Cate Duff of Pusheen Corp. "Pusheen fans are now able to celebrate their love of Pusheen alongside their pets with these new beds, bowls and accessories."
The new design-inspired collection joins other exclusive partnerships presented by Petco, including the Trolls Pet Fans Collection, Dr. Seuss Pet Fans Collection and the Star Wars Pet Fans Collection. Each collection provides pet parents with the chance to proudly display and celebrate their fandom, style and favorite characters, while creating memories with their pets.
