Where to Buy Pottering Cat

Pottering Cat is an adorable zakka brand from Japan that creates the cutest cat-themed pins, stamps, stationery and lifestyle goods. They don’t sell directly to the public so it’s been hard to find in the past but I’ve found a few shops with a good selection so here’s a look at some of their cutest products and I’ll list all the shops at the end.

If you’ve come across the brand before, it was probably their enamel pins, which even have cat-shaped backing cards. There’s been loads over the years and feature cats doing all kinds of cute and silly things around the house, with food and acting like humans. I especially like the Japanese designs and the postage stamps.

Some of the pin designs are also available as larger keyrings, which can double up as bag charms. There’s also some metal bookmarks, all with cats reading books.

I love all the rubber stamps as they are so useful and perfect for gift wrap, happy mail and journaling. There’s a few with English text but many of the most useful mail-related designs are in Japanese. Still fun to use if you know your recipient will appreciate it.

And that’s not all! While less widely available, there are even more products including tote bags, t-shirts and lots of stationery items like postcards, stickers, notepads and sticky memos.
