Latvia-based artist Liega Zelgalve created this comical line of pussycat panties, which are [female undergarments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/knix-valentines-day-edit) called ‘Lickstarter.’ The line is a cheeky play on the word pussycat, which is a common term used in regards to female genitalia.

The pussycat panties are quite adorable featuring [cute cats and kittens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dry-studio-petbrick-65) on the front-facing side of the undergarments. The line currently contains nine different images of playful cats, which are each paired with a tongue-in-cheek phrase. For example, there is a pair of full-back and white panties that feature a fluffy kitten with bright blue eyes, which is titled 'Dangerously sweet.'

The panties began as a gift for the artist’s female friends, but has grown into a successful business.
