Claire Belton is an illustrator and entrepreneur, best known for creating Pusheen!
Pusheen began as an animated cat in 2010, created by artist Claire Belton and her partner Andrew Duff.
Pusheen is a tubby tabby cat who brings smiles and laughter to people all around the world. She became famous through her animated comics and GIFs posted on Pusheen.com, as well as through her widely used animated stickers on Facebook, Instagram, iMessage, and other platforms.
Pusheen is portly, with tiny legs and a striped tail. She loves baked goods, lounging and celebrating holidays.
