Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Sprigatito is getting its own line of exclusive merchandise, with items for both humans and cats alike. While plenty of Pokemon, including those featured in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have had cute or creative items sold based on their designs, pet toys are a bit rarer of a find.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet introduced Sprigatito as the game's Grass starter, and gained a number of fans after it was unveiled. Unfortunately, while fans were hoping it wouldn't happen, Sprigatito becomes bipedal in its evolutions. Despite that, Sprigatito was voted as the most-picked starter in a Japanese poll, and further polls have shown that its final evolution, Meowscarada, is nonetheless extremely popular.

Now, Pokemon Center Japan is releasing a «Meow! Meow! Meow!» collection with a multitude of designs primarily based off of Sprigatito. Other feline Pokemon make an appearance as well, including Pokemon Sun and Moon starter Litten, Delcatty, and Glameow. The merchandise includes more common items, like tableware, keychains, slippers, towels, and more. However, the items that will likely be very interesting to cat owners include a Snorlax cushion, a Magikarp kick toy, and a costume hat that looks like Sprigatito's head. The hat is designed to wrap around the cat's chin with velcro, so it can be taken off easily if needed. For the perfect item for both a cat and their owner, the collection also includes a hoodie with a built-in front pocket designed to be comfortable for a cat to snuggle into.

The new products will be released in Japanese Pokemon Centers starting on February 22, and like with most Pokemon merchandise, supplies likely won't last long. However,
