Created by American artist James Dean and officially launched as a children's book in 2008, Pete the Cat has evolved from a self-published story into a massive multimedia and lifestyle franchise. Originally inspired by Dean’s own rescue kitten, the brand centers on a laid-back, groovy blue cat who navigates life’s minor hiccups with a signature cool-headed optimism. The franchise expanded significantly after its breakout hit, I Love My White Shoes, co-created with Eric Litwin, and is now managed by James and Kimberly Dean.
