“Calling all cat lovers!” …or should I say, even though I’m actually a bird lover and I’m in charge of straps.
This time, though, I’ve found some irresistibly cute cat accessories that are so charming that even us bird folks might feel compelled to buy them!
I’ve put together a little collection of these special finds, and I’m sure all you cat lovers out there will be smitten.
Be sure to check them out!

1. Daiking Corporation / POP-CATS

First up is this guitar/bass strap with an eye-catching pop-art cat design—just as the name suggests! The cat on the yellow background (a Siamese, maybe?) has this adorably sulky expression, like it’s waiting for dinner. The overall color scheme has a stylish comic-book vibe, making it stand out visually.
By the way, Daiking Corporation has its own workshop based in Shonan, where each strap is handcrafted. They’re dedicated to using Japanese-made materials for both the strap ends and lining, and you can really feel the quality and precision in their craftsmanship. They offer many other designs featuring cats as the main theme, so it’s worth checking out the rest of their lineup!

2. Grande uomo / TS-2 AC Cat Paw Tourmaline

Next up is another strap. This one features a paw print embroidery design that’s likely to charm even those who aren’t hardcore cat lovers. The raised stitching gives it a plush, tactile quality reminiscent of real cat paws. With a wide variety of colors available, you're bound to find one that suits your style!
Grande uomo also operates its workshop in Japan and specializes in leather-based straps. The brand is meticulous, with the founder personally selecting and tanning the leather. The model featured here is made from acrylic, but their lineup also includes leather straps with embroidered cat eyes and other feline-inspired details. It’s definitely worth a look if you're on the hunt for a high-quality, charming strap.

3. KIKUTANI / Neko Capo Green

Next up is a capo that brings serious charm to your fretboard. When attached, it looks like a cat’s paw is pressing down the strings. It’s adorable and clever all at once! Its concept, “Borrow a Cat’s Paw,” is just as delightful as its appearance. But it’s not just cute—the design and spring pressure benefit from KIKUTANI’s many years of experience, ensuring solid functionality. Suitable for both electric and acoustic guitars. Recently, new colors (green, red, and yellow) have been added, so be sure to check out the full lineup!

4. SWIFF / Cartoon Tuner Cat Red

The fourth item is a clip-on tuner that works on guitars, basses, ukuleles, and more. This tuner is a playful cat design that fits perfectly in a pop-art aesthetic and is highly visible, helping boost your practice motivation! It's also a great option for children just starting out with guitar or bass. And, there aren’t just cats—there are also bat and alien-themed versions available!

5. NIHON GORAKU Variety / Cat-Shaped Silent Picks NS-1 (Set of 3)

These are silent picks designed for acoustic guitar (stroke play only)! Thanks to their thin construction and unique cutout shape, they absorb the impact when hitting the strings. It’s perfect for those who want to practice at night without disturbing the neighbors. It’s a hidden gem that can reduce your acoustic guitar’s volume by about half (approx. from 82dB to 48dB). Practice alongside a nocturnal feline and your skills might just level up faster!

6. GID / DRY CONDITION ANIMAL CAT

Next up is a maintenance item: a humidity control sheet! Designed to look like a cat proudly standing with a fish in its mouth, it’s as functional as it is adorable. Highly recommended for the humid rainy season. It provides long-lasting moisture absorption and release, as well as rust and odor prevention as it helps to stabilize humidity inside your instrument case. Made from fiber material, it’s gentle on instruments and won’t scratch paint surfaces, which is another great reason to keep one in your case!

7. NAKANO / CLW-30/C/NP MUSIC Book Clip – Cat and Piano

For those who use sheet music, there are definitely times when you wish you had a clip to hold all your pages in place—this is just the thing! Made from highly transparent clear plastic, it won’t obstruct your view of the music. The elegant, classical cat-and-piano design adds a charming touch. It comes in a blister pack, making it a great gift idea too.

Did any of these items catch your eye? Even if you're not a cat person, these are irresistibly adorable accessories! Be sure to check out the product pages while you're at it. Next time, I’ll be hunting down some fun accessories for all the bird-loving guitarists and bassists out there. Stay tuned!
