SDCC 2017: Tentacle Kitty Goes Hunting!

I had the good fortune of spotting artist John Merritt as he was traversing San Diego Comic-Con’s Exhibit Hall. He wasn’t hard to spot; the man was balancing one of his Tentacle Kitty plushes on his head (and doing an expert job, I might add). It turned out he was returning to his booth for a signing and I could not resist tagging along.

For those who don’t know, Tentacle Kitty is a friendly cat from another dimension that just happens to have tentacles. She and many of her friends have been transformed into plushes as well as featured in her own webcomic. While there was already a traditional Tentacle Kitty plush, a Huntress version was released just in time for SDCC. With purple paint for camouflage and her face full of concentration, she definitely looks like she is on the prowl (most likely for cotton candy mice, her favorite food).

Tentacle Kitty the Huntress wasn’t the only new addition at the booth. The next wave of Little Ones, smaller relatives of Tentacle Kitty, were also available. These particular Little Ones were labeled “Earth Color” because each one resembles a different variety of cat found here on Earth, like Siamese or Calico. Both Tentacle Kitty the Huntress and the Earth Color Little Ones are now available to purchase at their online store.

In celebration of those plushes’ release, John has cooked up a very special giveaway. Five lucky fans will walk away with a Legendary Golden Tentacle Kitty. Traditionally, this cutie is only given to winners of cosplay contests at conventions. The contest is live on Facebook right now! Go! Go! Go!
