I'm a kid-at-heart, thirty-something year old stuffed toy enthusiast and
lover of all things cute. I coined the term
pusheenomallow to combine my love for Pusheen
and Squishmallow. I began collecting pusheen and squishmallows since 2016
and have amassed over 400 (and counting). These plushies would often
accompany me on my adventures. My other main hobby consists of playing
video games - mostly RPGs. Scroll down for more info about the plushies
that I collect!
A snippet of my collection featuring pusheen and squishmallows.
Pusheen is a tubby tabby cat who brings smiles and
laughter to people all around the world. She became famous through her
animated comics and GIFs posted on Pusheen.com, as well as through her
widely used animated stickers on Facebook, Instagram, iMessage, and other
platforms.
Pusheen Corp. is an Illinois-based company dedicated to
bringing smiles to the faces of fans around the world. Founded in 2010,
Pusheen Corp. develops Pusheen content and products, working with more
than 100 licensees globally. Pusheen herself made her first appearance
online in a 2010 short series of comics by Creator/Founder Claire Belton
written together with Co-Founder, Andrew Duff. That project, Everyday
Cute, quickly spun off into the original Pusheen.com Tumblr blog. Within a
short period of time, the comics and GIFs posted to Tumblr became a viral
sensation, with images of Pusheen being shared across the internet
hundreds of thousands of times every week. In 2013, a comic compilation
titled “I am Pusheen the Cat” was published by Simon & Schuster, which has
since been translated into more than 12 languages. That same year,
Facebook’s “chat sticker” feature launched, in which licensed Pusheen
images were made available as emoji-style graphics to over one billion
users, sending the cute kitty into super stardom overnight. It is
estimated that Pusheen images and GIFs have been sent between friends more
than 20 billion times across popular social media platforms since her
creation. Today, the Pusheen brand is a global phenomenon with a growing
cast of characters, tens of millions of fans worldwide, and licensed
merchandise available in more than 60 countries.

favorite hobby is baking in his miniature kitchen and then sharing the
treats with his larger animal friends. He hasn’t noticed that his
creations are bite-sized, and everyone’s too nice to point it out.
Pip: Pusheen and Stormy’s little brother. He’s
adventurous, fearless, and frequently causes trouble. His favorite hobby
is following his big sisters around, copying them, asking them questions,
and sliding his paws under any door that separates them from him. Wants to
be a wolf when he grows up.
Sloth: is thoughtful, quiet, and takes his time in all
things. He and Pusheen enjoy lazing around together. His hobbies include
yoga and looking out windows. Although his facial expression doesn’t vary
much, his friends don’t have any trouble understanding him. He’s always
there to support the ones he cares about. Like, physically, with his arms.
Stormy: Pusheen’s little sister and best friend. Her
hobbies include adventuring, intellectual pursuits, and grooming herself.

Debuting in 2017, the iconic Squishmallows brand features collectible
plush with lovable personalities, a whimsical design, and ultrasoft feel.
In more than 55 countries, the strong brand equity and popularity have
resulted in multiple line extensions and cross-category collaborations. In
2022, NPD named Squishmallows #1 Best Selling Toy, and the Toy Association
honored the brand with seven Toy of the Year (TOTY) Awards. Squishmallows
has also launched fan-first experiences, including a Squish Tour and
Squishmallows Human Claw Machine activation at VidCon 2022. The brands
ongoing expansion and passionate fan base will continue to make
Squishmallows a collectible phenomenon and evergreen lifestyle property.
