Fashion With Felines - Sharing The World of Kitty Couture and Apparel ~ Today's Special GUEST STAR is **ERIC'S EMPAWRIUM** & We Have A Little Give-Away Too!

Hello fabulous kitties and hoomans

Mancat Monday was previously scheduled with Humphrey, but I Pandora Von Der Plume Feline Fashionista Extraordinaire hijacked the blog instead as today I am back with my Fashion with Feline series sharing all the latest news, gossip and trends from the world of Kitty Couture and Apparel.

This is your go-to place for all emerging fashion trends for 2020, and I'll be interviewing exclusive brands and exceptional kitties who share a love of fashion, design and dressing up too.

This week I have the utmost purrleasure introducing Eric from Eric's Empawrium which is actually only a few miles away, and even in the same county as us; Robin Hood country aka Nottingham U.K., OMC can mew believe it!  And he's a kitty with a furry generous heart as mew'll see in his exclusive intermew.

Eric is also a very talented and handsome tuxedo kitty who designs the cutest bandana's mew've ever seen, plus he model's all his own designs too, how epic is Eric?  EPICALLY EPIC!

Plus Eric has an Etsy store, so if mew're in the market for a fab new bandana, he's the go-to guy to get yours. Click the link below to check out the latest creations:

Eric's Empawrium 

Exclusive Intermew with The Designer

Eric dahling, do tell us about how mew came up with the idea for your exclusive Empawrium?

We wanted to make a little store for cats and help causes along the way by having fun. Each year we chose cat charities to share their work and donate a percentage and encourage donation drives. I love my Bandanas so I wanted to share in this by making them for others.

How long has your shop been open? 

We are VERY new and just this Christmas we opened.

Where do mew get your inspiration from?

Mum has a creative brain and will very often be inspired by colours and themes which could pop up anywhere... movies, adverts and so much more. 

How many designs do mew sell?

We sell over 25 designs at present but I'm working my paws on another 20 for this year.

Do mew have a favourite design or fabric?

My favourite is 'meowgical' mum says it brings out my sparkly purrsonality!

Do mew ship wurldwide?

We sure do! We are expanding each day with countries so most will be available mid-year so we can keep our shipping costs compawtetive!

How easy is it for mew to source fabrics?

Very easy, mum goes to events and has a couple of lovely suppliers. We are even designing our very own this year to print! Designed by mum herself.

Is there anything else mew'd like to share with our readers?

We are a little business with a great big heart! We love the pawsome cat community and hope we can help many unfortunate paws this year!

Thank mew very much for intermewing me

Eric xx

Welcome To Our 8 Things About... Post And Today It's All About Pandora

Welcome to

WOO HOO pawesome pals

Welcome to another our fifth:- 8 Things About...  

8 Things About WHAT though?! we hear mew ask. Well fabulous furiends it could be 8 things about anything, but today it's all about...

8 Things About Pandora

1.  Pandora has been with The B Team since last Spring [2017] and this was her shelter mugshot...

... doesn't she look so sweet?

The P.A. had no idea when Pandora arrived that she would get any fluffier, but aftur a few months with us, she basically turned into an Ewok/Sasquatch cat aka Supurr Furry Anipal! MOL 

She was found in a field and was pregnant. She had her kittens at the shelter and they all got adopted instantly and Pandora was left alone. She was incarcerated fur 3 months, well that is until we saw her and went and broke her out!

2. She is so fast, and I mean seriously fast and while she zooms around she meows and mews until she stops.

3. Pandora is the only cat we've effur met that doesn't like any of the following:

catnip and catmint - dried or fresh

dry food/kibble

or

any sort of  kitty treat

4.  Though she will eat - sometimes - fresh chicken, fresh prawns, silverside beef and on a rare occasion ham off bone. [expensive taste]

5. Pandora is our resident Feline Fashionista so if mew're looking fur cute, kitty apparel and accessories fur your Pet Hooman, Pandora Von Der Plume has mew covered!

6.  Pandora also speaks English with a French accent, apparently she spent time with The Resistance - though what she did fur them is still a bit of a mystery.  Howeffur she does have some amazing weapons skills, can hot-wire any vehicle, is an expert translator and top-notch negotiator, though we can't tell mew anymore because it's classified.



She is an invaluable memfur of The B Team

7.  She's quite a feisty diva too and will hold her own if effur a spat breaks out BBHQ [quite a rare occurrence] and she can stare anypurrdy down. In fact, she can be quite fierce - Don't Mess With Dora - she doesn't suffer fools and she has exceptional TORTI-TUDE!



8. And finally, though her official name is Pandora, we often call her Dora the Splorer as she loves to breach the perimeter fence and go on solo missions, and guys we don't know what she does, where she goes or who she meets - I need to put a tracker on her! MOL  



And that sadly brings us to the end of 8 Things About Pandora, we do hope mew enjoyed getting to learn more about our younger sisfur. 

Oh and there will be a new jigsaw on the puzzle page fur mew tomorrow just in case mew feel a need to while a few minutes away until our next post.

Fashion with Felines starring Pandora Von Der Plume ~ The Feline Fashionista ~ Featuring Supurr Funky Space Cat Leggings & Give-Away

Welcome to

Bonjour mes amis!

And velcome to my regular Fashion vith Felines post!

Bringing mew the cutest, fun trends in kitty themed fashion fur your pet hooman.

As many of mew know I once lived in the beautiful, romantic city of Paris fur a spell during my time vith The Resistance, and vhile there I developed a love of fashion. So if mew're looking fur the best in kitty apparel mew're in the right place!

If mew 'av missed any of my previous feline fashionista posts, 'ere they are:

Kitty Shirt T-Shirts

Irregular Choice Starry Night Handbag

The Hello Kitty & The Hello Kitty Purrchase Challenge

Now this veek I'm going to share vhat I bought the P.A. fur 'er birthday, I got 'er these...  

They're really a nice quality spandex/lycra mix with lots of stretch. Now the P.A. said she vanted them to wear at the gym, because one thing she doesn't like is turning up anywhere and someone else is vearing the same thing! So I thought by buying 'er these she'd definitely be the only one vearing them! MOL

So vhen they arrived and the P.A. tried them on - size S -  and she realized that they veren't going to be suitable fur a 'eavy gym session due to the low waist and fabric being a little too silky against the skin, they did ride down a little especially during squats and there's nothing wurse than continually having to pull your leggings up! MOL

Don't they look so cute on?

That aside, they've been now relegated to anytime lounge-vear and they're brilliant, so comfy and a purrleasure to wear, with no constriction, restriction or feeling that they're too tight.  Basically mew can do any job mew like and be supurr comfy vhile doing it, or if mew're just lounging around at 'ome they're purrfect fur that too. They look great with a tank, basic T or a tunic, layering wurks furry vell too,

The final vote: a paws down fur gym-vear unless mew constantly like 'oisting your leggings up, but a big paws up fUr the ultimate comfort in lounge-vear. 

If mew're wundering vhere to get them from; they vere from Amazon though the bad news is they're unavailable now, but the good news is I 'ave an extra set to give-away in a size M - details further on in the post.

Pandora's Fierce Fashion Tip:

Now onto the Give-Away

The give-way is open wurld-wide** as usual, and all mew 'ave to do is leave a comment below. I'll do the video draw fur the winner next Friday at 5pm, so mew 'ave until then to enter and the winner vill be announced the on Sunday Selfies on the 29th July!

And vhat's the prize, I 'ear mew ask?

Vell mew've already seen vhat the supurr cute prize is, one pair of space cat leggings in size medium - approx 12 to 14 UK size or  8 - 10 US & Can size.

[**Unless mew're in one of those countries that aren't allowed to join in. Mew know who mew are!]

GOOD LUCK!!!

I do 'ope mew enjoyed our cute fashion safari today, and I'll be back furry soon vith some more uber cute items fur your pet hooman!
