A Dedication to Di

Dedication to Di

A Legacy of Love, Craft, and Care

Welcome to Di’s Paw Prints. This page is dedicated to the woman who started it all—my grandma, Diane, or as her friends and family always called her, Di.

My grandma Diane was a very special woman. Growing up, I was always in awe of her creativity, her kindness, and her ability to make something special out of the simplest materials. I’ve always admired her and wanted to follow in her footsteps, creating something she would be proud of.

Among her many talents was crafting cat toys, starting with a simple yet ingenious design she created for my childhood cat, Tiger. Little did we know that this one creation would become the foundation of something so much larger.

Di’s toys weren’t just toys—they were a reflection of her belief that animals deserve the best. She poured so much love into everything she made, and her creations became more than just toys—they were reflections of her heart. I can still remember how her eyes would light up when she would see videos of cats happily playing with the toys she’d made. It was clear to everyone who knew her that Di's love for her cats—and animals in general—was the reason behind everything she did.

Even though Di is no longer with us, her legacy lives on in Di’s paw prints. Every toy I create is inspired by her creativity, her love for animals, and the joy she finds in seeing cats play.

I hope to be able to continue her tradition of making high-quality and fun toys for cats everywhere while honoring her legacy, continuing her story, and sharing the joy she inspired. Every toy is a tribute to her—a blend of her original ideas and my passion for carrying them forward. Thank you for being part of our story.
