A Pink Kitty blog review

We'd like to take a minute to recommend a great blog called A Pink Kitty. Arianna posted about what she thinks of Squaredy Cats, and we couldn't be happier with what she wrote :)

Creators interview on Ideas Uploaded podcast

Elaine and Kurt (the Squaredy Cats creators) were recently interviewed by Tara of the Ideas Uploaded blog. The blog is a valuable source for creative types. You'll find out what inspires designers, inventors, licensors, and anyone else in the toy industry.

Follow the Ideas Uploaded blog or on Facebook, and subscribe to the podcast.

We were both a bit squared about being interviewed via Skype, not knowing what to expect. We were given an outline of the questions we'd be asked; but between not being fully prepared despite that fact (because we're always working), and both of us being somewhat "camera shy" we were somewhat nervous. Elaine did a fine job of speaking for both of us as I stumbled through confused thoughts, irrelevant tangents and unfinished run-on sentences ;)

Listen to the podcast interview or take a look at the blog post if you're interested in hearing more about how Squaredy Cats came about and our experiences making it happen.

Thanks, Catsparella :)

An awesome blog that is all things cats called Catsparella made a really great post about us today. You should check it out :)

Don't make me scream

I scream, you scream, we all scream for Squaredy Cats!

Welcome to our Facebook fans. We recently set up the Squaredy Cats Blog to feed directly onto our Facebook Page. Here some of what you'll get to see is what our thoughts were in our individual designs. We hope you enjoy it and invite your friends :)

"Not squared to scream" has been on the plate for almost a year, but with all we are developing for Squaredy Cats it was difficult to get many new designs done. Our friend Anne has a baby, and for a long time he would just scream and scream! She asked us to do a "not squared to scream" cat that was for a boy.

We're glad it took so long for us to do for two reasons:

1. We only recently started to break out of our original design rules we set for ourselves, and this cat is breaking one we had already broken plus two more! He's not sitting flat like all of our original Squaredy Cats, but the two new additions are a longer tail and a chin. We started using the big happy smile only recently, but with a scream we though it made sense to break out of the square a little to show he's really screaming. You'll see more designs that incorporate this feature in future cats.

2. We designed the "not squared to scream" cat just in time for John Henry's 1st birthday. Happy birthday, John Henry!

Squaredy Qwerty

This is the Squaredy Cat we use on our blog banner.

This cat was created as part of a series for computer users, young, and old. Anyone who's been using a computer since they were kids, and anyone who's getting introduced for the first time can appreciate this one.

The blog is the new diary. Let people know what you think on your blog. Share us if you like ;)
