MVB International – Home of PookieCat and friends goes the extra mile by launching a Kickstarter project to have real PookieCat plush manufactured, listen to CEO Maria van Bruggen tell you about it (or watch the video above).
Hi Kickstarter! My name is Maria van Bruggen and I am children books illustrator and writer, and as well character designer. Couple of years ago in one of the tough moments of my life I have created a orange chubby cat illustration to cheer myself up. Orange chubby cat had a lots of character and decided that only one illustration wasn’t enough. One by one adventures of the orange cat with character was taking over the network without me noticing. It got so popular I started to receive requests for Licensing from different companies around the world.
When the Orange funny cat with character was slowly taking over the world, we decided it was a time to give him a name. PookieCat was officially born in 2012. He was truly happy to get so much fans around the world and to share his very important message – Laugh at Life!
I have already illustrated and wrote 9 books with PookieCat which were published in 2013, many of them are even being bestsellers! I just have signed 15 additional contracts for more which makes me incredibly happy.
Here is just a short view on some of the books covers:
We are also working on a line of interactive books for IPad and Android, which you will be able to see on App-store or Google Play really soon.
Like this one, for example:
PookieCat believes that life is funny, and you just need to pick a different point of view to see that.

And if you have a kids than you can relay to this:
PookieCat shares his daily stories, things he likes and daily jokes here on the Facebook:
He also has a website where we try to share the latest news and products.
PookieCat believes that as a real plush he can have even more fun. We created some prototypes to see how it works and we got loads of requests for it from our fans. We would love to make them happy and to bring a little plushy orange happiness to their home! Would you like to have one yourself? PookieCat can cheer you up even in a rainy moment, because he definitely helped me back then.
And, of course! We prepared loads of rewards for you!
