That being said, I’m so happy to talk about this design that we have made called Cat Mom.\u003cbr\u003eI haven’t always been a cat person – no, really, I didn’t decide to adopt a cat until I was in my early twenties. My brother had gotten a cute kitten the year before as a Christmas present, and after spending time with Jingle Belle, I started to want a furry friend of my own. Flash-forward a year later on my birthday, I was given a sweet, little black cat that I named Pumpkin. (Full name being Pumpkin Spiced Latte, since her shelter name had been Latte)!\u003cbr\u003eThis ZOX, Cat Mom, is a love letter to all of the feline companions that have shared our lives and our hearts. The artwork showcases different types of cats, each with their own unique cuteness and quirks, just like in real life.\u003cbr\u003eAre you a cat mom? If so, then you know cats are much more nuanced than people give them credit for; they often get a bad rap, getting labeled as mean or uncaring creatures. Cats can be the sweetest, most loving pets that you could choose to spend your life with – you’ll experience nightly cuddles like you wouldn’t believe and playful moments that you can’t help smiling at.\u003cbr\u003eCats most definitely choose us, it’s true what they say – their love can come all at once or over time, but once they choose you, prepare to never be alone again. And I mean that literally, Pumpkin will follow me into whichever room I’m in at the time because she is my little shadow now! I love all three of my cats, and their companionship is a consistent source of happiness and comfort for me. This ZOX is a small way to celebrate the wearer’s bond and relationship with their cat; whether you’re a cat mom yourself, or know someone who is, this is a way to commemorate that special bond.\u003cbr\u003eStay Groovy,\u003cbr\u003eChelsea, Pumpkin, Jinx \u0026amp; Hades \u0026gt;^•⩊•^\u0026lt;","brand":"ZOX","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":48249573277994,"sku":"2-11-22-WB-01-S","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":48249573507370,"sku":"2-11-22-WB-01-M","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large","offer_id":48249573605674,"sku":"2-11-22-WB-01-L","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/6892\/5482\/files\/CatMomOutside_ce5be516-f975-46fe-a738-8b4de2b8b406.webp?v=1714018872"},{"product_id":"keep-the-fire","title":"Keep the Fire","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere's something truly captivating about dragons, isn't there?
