 Pusheen the Cat is a social media sticker set that was first added to the social media site Facebook. Pusheen was originally created in 2010 by Claire Belton and Andrew Duff for a comic strip on their website, Everyday Cute.

Although the character of Pusheen was around for three years before it made it’s debut on Facebook in July of 2013. The sticker set had a profound impact on me, as it was one of the first sticker sets and as a result ended up advertising the relatively new form of communication. It was the sticker set that brought my attention to social media stickers in general.

The original sticker set featured simple illustrations of Pusheen doing different actions, such as eating popcorn, wearing sunglasses and sitting in a box. A lot of the appeal to this sticker set has to be the cute appeal to the character design that entices people to use it.
