From her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brighthorizons.com\/family-resources\/nurturing-creativity-and-imagination-for-child-development\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">imagination<\/a> to her drawing to resting in her arms, Emily and her Budsie Kitty experience a bond that is as unique as Kitty\u2019s hybrid body (a combination of bug, cat, lion, giraffe, zebra, bird, and horse). Here\u2019s the story of how Kitty came to be!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-775\" src=\"https:\/\/www.budsies.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Budsie-Kitty2.jpg\" alt=\"budsie note \" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/> <img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-778\" src=\"https:\/\/www.budsies.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/05\/kitty-1.jpg\" alt=\"kitty\" width=\"576\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.budsies.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/05\/kitty-1.jpg 576w, https:\/\/www.budsies.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/05\/kitty-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.budsies.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/05\/kitty-1-315x420.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/>For Emily\u2019s birthday, her parents gave Emily a \u201cBudsies Coupon,\u201d redeemable for the purchase of one Budsie. Together they looked at many Budsies pictures, excitedly discussing the ones they liked best and why they liked them. Their favorites were the wacky made-up creatures with a lot of color. Emily drew at least ten possible Budsie options and ultimately settled on a hybrid creation, complete with giraffe legs, butterfly wings, lion tail, bug eyes, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Afterwards, Emily\u2019s mother noticed the Super-sized Budsies on Facebook and decided to order the Super-sized Budsie as an added surprise. When the Budsies box finally arrived, Emily could hardly manage to get her Kitty out of the box due to its size!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-776 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.budsies.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Budsie-Kitty2-1.jpg\" alt=\"emily custom budsie\" width=\"576\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.budsies.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Budsie-Kitty2-1.jpg 576w, https:\/\/www.budsies.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Budsie-Kitty2-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.budsies.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Budsie-Kitty2-1-315x420.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/>Emily loves Kitty because he is unique and interesting. In Emily\u2019s words, \u201cKitty was designed to be something new. I said to myself I wanted to make something nobody could think of except me. His superpower is to fly with his wings. There were a lot of different options to choose from. He is part bug, cat, lion, giraffe, zebra, bird, and horse. He is really cool. I love my Budsie because he is something no one could ever think of. Thank you so much for bringing my Budsie to life!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><\/p>\n<p>Although Kitty is equipped with the power to fly long distances with his pair of emerald green butterfly wings, he prefers the comfort of home. Kitty lives in Emily\u2019s bed at their home in Madison, Alabama, but is often found snuggling with Emily in other places around the house. Most recently, he recently went on a trip to visit Emily\u2019s cousin in New Jersey, and the two enjoyed viewing Washington DC from the hotel window.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet Kitty, a hybrid of bug, giraffe, and many other
