The Planetary Core Cats

Venus Cat



Meet the Venus Cat, the most radiant and mysterious feline in the solar system! This hard enamel pin captures Venus in a hot pouncing form. Her fur features elegant V-shaped "cloud" stripes in shades of pale cream and buttery yellow, mimicking the unique wind patterns of the planet's upper atmosphere. Set against a deep black orbital disc that suggests her location in the solar system, she is marked by her bold astronomical symbol.

Earth Cat



The Earth Cat pin is a vibrant tribute to our home world, captured in a sleek, feline form. This hard enamel design features a cat coated in brilliant sea-foam blue and deep teal, with swirling green "continent" markings that mimic Earth's lush landscapes from space. All the while, the cat protectively paws a detailed, cratered Moon. Set against a dark orbital background that suggests her location in the solar system, she is marked by Earth’s astronomical symbol.

Mars Cat



The Mars Cat pin is a bold, rust-colored tribute to the fourth planet from the sun. This hard enamel design features a cat coated in deep Martian oranges and ochres, perfectly capturing the dusty, iron-rich hues of the Red Planet. Across her belly, a striking dark-brown marking mimics the massive Valles Marineris canyon system. Topped with white polar ice caps on her head and tail, she protectively cradles her two small, lumpy moons, Phobos and Deimos. Set against a black orbital background that suggests her location in the solar system, she is marked by her astronomical symbol.

Jupiter Cat



Meet the Jupiter Cat, the giant of Felis Celestis and the true king of the planets! This hard enamel pin captures the swirling, dynamic horizontal bands and jagged "storm" patterns in her fur, echoing the complex cloud belts and turbulent cyclones that define the Jovian atmosphere. Set against a deep black orbital disc, far from the inner planetary cats, she is marked by the bold astronomical symbol for Jupiter.

Saturn Cat



The Saturn Cat is the graceful jewel of the solar system! This hard enamel pin showcases the smooth, harmonious golden-tan gradients and soft horizontal stripes of her coat, mimicking the serene gas layers and high-altitude hazes of the planet. She is instantly recognizable by the majestic, shimmering rings encircling her waist, complete with her enigmatic moon, Titan. Set against a deep black orbital disc, well beyond Mars and company, she is marked by the elegant astronomical symbol for Saturn.

The Planetary Stretch Cats

You noticed something missing? The rest of the family are stretch goals. As we approach each goal, we will design and post the next member of the family right here. Each pin’s funding goals follow.

Mercury

The Mercury Cat is the smallest and fastest member of the set. This design features a crater-dappled grey cat leaning in for a classic cheek-rub against the Sun, a nice way of including the star of this whole cast in the series. It’s set against a black circular background and marked with the Mercury astronomical symbol.

Uranus

The Uranus Cat captures the ice giant’s pale blue-green cat, mid-leap, jumping through it’s thin vertical rings. Simple blue/teal design on a black circular background, finished with the Uranus astronomical symbol.

Neptune

The Neptune Cat is a deep azure blue, featuring the planet’s famous "Great Dark Spot" as a marking on its side. The cat is lying down and twisting back to reach for its moon, Triton, like a floating cat toy. It comes on a black circular background and is marked with the Neptune astronomical symbol.

Pluto & Eris



The Pluto & Eris pin represents the dwarf planets at the edge of the system. This design features two cats: with a distinct heart shape on Pluto’s chest, and its distant neighbor Eris hiding behind him (we haven’t seen him yet!). They are set together on a black oblong background, marked the symbols for Eris and Pluto on their respective orbits.

Shipping

Please be aware that shipping is collected at the time of the survey and is not included in the reward level. For an idea of what that should look like:

Rough shipping rates shown for about 6 ounces by region. For reference, we expect a set of six pins to be about 6 ounces. Tees (4-9o) and posters (6-9o) are much heavier. Most shipping rates are not exactly incremental based on weight, so most of rates remain in the same range until you go over a pound. EU and UK orders will include VAT and the rates shown here are based on a five set of pins.

As you know, all these things can be subject to change since leadership in my country seems to think unpredictability is good for business. My international shipper has informed us that some tariffs are being applied to some items at varying rates. We will try to adjust the declared values to compensate for all this stupidity. 

  • United States - $5.80 / $6.75
  • Canada - $7 / $8 for 5 Set
  • UK / EU - $10.50 / $19.50 for 5 Set w/VAT
  • Australia and Asia - $10 / $12 for 5 Set
  • Elsewhere  - $10 / $12 for 5 Set
