These adorable cat pads are essentially sticky notes designed in the shape of kittens perched inside cardboard boxes. The [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/create-a-wedding-registry) store called ‘DubuDomo’ recently released an entire collection of cat pads that are suitable for any feline lover.

The collection includes various breeds of cats in different poses such as a pure white feline licking its paw, a pouting orange tabby cat and an unimpressed black and white kitten. The tiny pads fit in the palm of one's hand measuring 35 by 42 millimeters. Within each pad, there are a total of 30 sticky notes and the designer also suggests using the pad as a [bookmark](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illustrated-bookmarks).

While the cutesy cat notepads are very popular, the store offers other pet pads including stationary accessories that are inspired by dogs, bunnies and penguins.
