Who Flounder is

Flounder is a real cat who talks using communication buttons. Nina Leipold draws her by hand, from life, which is why every design looks like a specific cat rather than a stock one.

A good gift for

Mouse Toy loyalists, cat people and anyone who keeps a favourite toy on a shelf.

More Love You, Mouse Toy

The same design runs across the Love You, Mouse Toy collection.

More from the same cat in the full Flounder Cat collection, and more to carry in Flounder accessories.

Nina, also known as Flounder’s mom, is an award-winning artist, animator, and children’s book illustrator whose creative passion shines through every piece of her work. With years of experience bringing whimsical characters to life, Nina has found her greatest inspiration right at home, in the form of her beloved fish, Flounder the Purrmaid. Flounder isn’t just her muse, but also the heart and soul of this collection.

Nina’s favorite subject to paint and draw has always been Flounder, and every design you see begins with real-life moments captured through photography. Flounder has happily “modeled” for countless reference photos, allowing Nina to capture her playful personality and signature expressions with incredible accuracy and charm. From the initial sketch to the finished artwork, each design is lovingly hand-drawn and carefully crafted by Nina herself.

Every product in the Flounder Cat collection represents the bond between artist and muse, a blend of Nina’s artistic skill and Flounder’s irresistible charisma. The result is a one-of-a-kind line of artwork and products that are not only beautiful, but also deeply personal. When you bring home a Flounder Cat design, you’re not just getting a piece of art, you’re getting a little piece of FlounderLand.
