First off...Thanks for the good laughs you have provided me with some of the comments ...lol
I have nothing to envy this Catnip. I don't lose sleep or money over whatever this person does or not do and to be honest the quality of their stuff is not of my liking nor my style. This about an injustice that have been brought to my attention by more than one designer. It is all about respecting other peoples ideas and not try to make profit out of them. I can understand inspiration and having the same tastes in things, I even understand wanting to recreate a design that someone else did a while ago and attempt to do it much better but only an insensitive and uninspired creator would try to sell the same item only weeks or days apart from their original release. This has happened to my knowledge in more than one occasion. She is either a really good imitator or she possesses some kind of ESP that makes her come up with the same ideas as others at the same time. The coincidences are far to great to ignore.
What are the odds of so many of the items being so strikingly similar and released in such an uncomfortably close period of time. Nobody can be that unlucky nor that great that so many stores want to copy from. It doesn't take a genious to see that something ain't right there. If you wish to keep supporting and defending the store is up to you. I have provided what has been shown to me and what I have seen myself and understand your reluctance to accept it because is a hard thing to prove but some of them speak by themselves and don't blame the designers, I am speaking for them. someone has to. You be the judge and If I can open the eyes of at least some of you or get her to be more aware of what shes doing then my job here is done. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and this is mine. Comment and rage among yourselves.
Have a good one :)

Out in the doghouse
Another not really original idea but what is a neko doing, making dog houses anyways? Think someone has an indentity crisis
Star Struck
How to spot a copy cat: Their store is saturated with so much items that don't really go with the store basic theme and makes you think, is this person really into this much different conflicting themes or they are just exploiting the latest trend by copying others?
Oh my Brothers!
What are the odds of two different stores to release Clockwork Orange items just weeks apart? It's not original I give you that much but releasing one after the other in the same month about a movie that was made back in 1971...something smells rather fishy
On your knees
There are many ways you can make some knee pads but these are just too similar in shape and texture..hmmm
Laundry Day
Copy Cat Rule: See something cool made by someone else. Re-do it with sculpties! Will sell more than the original.
I must be emo
Razor Blades, Tissues, notebook, pencil, cigs... Makes you want to cry and cut yourself
The bone collector
Quite an original item to have been created by two people in almost the same way. Copy Cat rule: Change what you copied a little so they don't notice what you stole.
