This shrine all about purple cats found in pop culture! Each box is scroll-able, including this one!
**Sometimes it is difficult to see a full image in the box as you scroll**
If that happens, click on a cat to center it in the box.

I created this page in December 2025 for the inaugural Secret Shrine-ta Event.

If you know of any purple cats that are not listed here, please let me know and I'll add them as soon as I can!

SQUISHMALLOWS

There are SO many purple cat Squishmallows. Why??? Preparing all these images was such a pain LMAO. Anyway, while Littlest Pet Shop leaves their critters up to interpretation (name, personality, etc.), Squishmallows gives you EVERYTHING. Each Squishmallow, as far as I can tell, has its entire life biography written out. And they seem so random. To me, anyway. A cat unicorn with iridescent ears and horn.
