One kitten, one gamepad, and a cup it has no plan to leave.

Player two has whiskers on this cat coffee cup: a cream pixel-art kitten sits inside a heart-marked cup with a retro gamepad in its paws, printed on a glossy black mug. It suits anyone who games with a cat asleep on the desk, and it's an easy choice for the friend whose pet always wants a turn.

The design: Gamepad Kitten Heart Cup

A thin pink outline with rounded corners frames the scene. Inside it, a wide cream cup with soft pink stripes and a single pink pixel heart stands on a pink and lilac saucer, and a kitten has moved in. Its fur is cream with light tan tabby stripes on the forehead, front leg and tail. It has pink inner ears, a tiny nose, whiskers, blush marks on its cheeks and very large dark eyes lit with pink and white sparkles.

In both front paws it holds a gray retro gamepad propped on the rim of the cup, with a dark cross-shaped direction pad at one end, small buttons in the middle and round teal and pink buttons at the other. A thin cable trails down behind the cup. The striped tail curls up on the right, a wavy curl of steam rises on the left, and two short words in pale, blocky pixel letters run across the top of the frame.

Everything is drawn in chunky, cute pixel art, the kind of picture an old game might have shown between levels, if its hero had been a kitten who preferred a warm seat to a quest.

What this cat coffee cup is made of

• Sturdy ceramic with a glossy surface, a clean backdrop for pastel pixel art
• The same kitten scene is printed on each of the two sides, leaving the black between them plain
• Lead and BPA-free material, which suits a mug that gets picked up daily
• Dishwasher safe, so washing up means loading the rack and nothing more
• Microwave safe, for reheating a drink without switching cups

Who it's for

Gamers who share a chair with a cat, cat owners with a soft spot for retro games, lovers of pixel art and anyone who likes their setup a little sweeter. It fits next to a monitor, on a bookshelf or in an office kitchen where mugs need to be easy to tell apart. Think of it for Valentine's Day, a new-kitten celebration, a holiday exchange or a thank-you for the cat sitter.

Quick answers

What is the kitten holding?

A simple retro pad with no logo on it, so it stands for old-school gaming in general rather than any particular brand.

Is there coffee drawn in the cup?

The kitten takes up the whole cup, so the only sign of a hot drink is the steam beside it. What goes into your own mug is up to you: coffee, tea or cocoa.

Does the taller mug change the picture?

No. Both mugs are equally wide and carry the same kitten scene; the larger one simply stands taller. The size guide lists both heights.
