Why Orange Cat?

There are no cats in Pug Haus! So then why Orange Cat? 

First a little background! Way back in 2007, the hoomans made a Orange Cat build-a-Bear as a present for Le Mops. El Gato was an orange cat we named El Gato de Oro. As one does at Build-a-Bear, we dressed the cat in a famous Orange Cat costume: Puss in Boots from Shrek. But we didn't stop there, we then had El Gato de Oro hold a mini El Gato de Oro wearing a (you guessed it!) a Puss in Boots costume. All very meta and ridiculous. Almost orange cat-like, if we do say so ourselves.

Now fast forward almost 20 years, and another orange cat entered our lives. Our dear friend Arlowe stole our heart, and so we created a collection in his honor! We Since then, we've fallen in love with the mythos of the Orange Cat. We might be late to the Orange Cat party, but we're jumping in feet first!

We gathered up some of our favorite Orange Cat swag from around the internet! 

Space Cat! - This orange cat is rocketing through space in an adorable little space suit! He's available in these fun adult and child matching family pajamas and in a pet Aloha shirt for your favorite orange cat or pug! We'd think it would be hilarious to dress your cat in pug shirts and your cat in pug shirts, but maybe that's just us. Either way, we can't resist this Space Cat's funny little suit made for four-legged fur babies! 

Santa Garfield Phunny Plush - Back when we lived in Santa Monica, we were bug fans of Kid Robot. Chewie spent several afternoons perusing their vinyl collection on the Third Street Promenade. That store's likely long gone, but we couldn't help but throw in a Kid Robot orange cat--or rather THE ORIGINAL Orange Cat: Garfield! We think this Santa Garfield plush is super cute and at only $16.99, you really have no reason not to add this Orange Cat to your collection.

Orange Cat Aloha Shirt - We have to include on of our own! The entire The Arlowe collection is fabulous, if we do say so our self, but this Orange Cat Aloha Shirt in Recycled Polyester is subtle enough you can wear it absolutely anywhere. The fabric meets all OEKO-TEX 100 and Global Recycled Standards, making this shirt an ethical choice for holiday gift giving! We love sustainability here at Pug Life! 

Reversible Cat Plushie - We all fell in love with those reversible octopus plushies a few years back, but this Orange Cat version by Tee Turtle is just so much cuter. It reverses from happy cat to angry cat! 

We could include 500 of our favorite Orange Cat designs from The Arlowe Collection, but we think that's overkill, so we'll leave you with these to shop! We hope your holiday shopping and beyond includes orange cats, because while not all cats are pugs, all pugs are (secretly) cats!
