Our Punch Brand Cat has a name, it’s Meelo and here’s her story:
Meelo is little cat who loves to travel. Although she appears small and fragile, she is an adrenaline junkie. She enjoys extreme sports and zip lining. Adventure follows wherever she goes. Her dream is to bring back fun ideas and stories that will inspire both her and her friends. Her best friend, Panda Jam is a chef. During her travels her favorite experiences usually include art, nature and food.
Meelo’s Friends include Panda Jam & Fang the Fox:
Panda Jam is Meelos’ best friend. He is a world class sushi chef. His specialties are unagi sushi and salmon nigiri. He often has Meelo tasting his latest creations and he dislikes being told she’s his guinea pig. He’s constantly testing his taste buds, he’s a little on the chubby side.
Fang The Fox
Affectionately nicknamed as ” Fang” by good friends Meelo and Jam for his single fang feature. Yet no one really knows his real name and why he only has one fang? It may have something to with his past and a series of misadventures he’s partaken with Meelo and Jam. Which is perhaps the reason why Fang is quite the “scaredy cat” and to this day remains cautious and skeptical when he’s approached by Meelo and her “crazy” extreme adventure plans.
Hope you enjoyed reading the stories of these 3 pals and watch out for new merchandise including Panda Jam Tees, Pins & Keychains… coming soon.

I am so happy to unveil our latest cat hat colours. This was our first hat design that was ever produced- our pink/ black cat hat. It’s a classic, and now it’s available in a rainbow of colours. Those of you at A-Kon in Dallas were the first to see them. The red and purple ones seem to be the most popular. Which colour is your favorite?
Thanks to Samantha for modeling our hats

One of the great things about doing conventions is being able to travel to different cities. Most of the time we’re in a city for only a few days, which unfortunately doesn’t give us much time to look around. Since we’re stuck in the convention center most of the time, we have to be selective and take advantage of any spare time we have. Like this time in Boston, we just so happened to be across the street from the Apple store on the launch day of the new iPad. We couldn’t resist, we had to go in for a peek and see what all the hype was about.
It was cool to just hold the iPad in our hands, we got the opportunity to see it before it’s even available in Canada. Awesome! Another great thing we look forward to is shopping. Only a few stores give me so much joy, I feel like a kid in a candy store. Sephora’s one of them. We happened to be there and stumbled upon the new Tokidoki cosmetics line. For me, I’m a big sucker for fancy packaging. This Tokidoki stuff was amazing. I couldn’t resist.
Their multi tier eyeshadow palette comes with a collectable charm. How cool is that.
Anyways it was a lot of fun. Thanks to everyone who came out to see us, we had a great time in Boston. It was great to see some familiar faces and make some new friends as well. Hope everyone had a good time and we look forward to our next visit.
