Who is Elsie?

Elsie is a 7-year old calico cat who “talks” with buttons.

She has A LOT of opinions and some of these opinions make fun merch items!

She is not speaking English in the same way that I know some words in French, but I don’t speak French. Think of Elsie like a toddler, whose native language isn’t English – and she’s an alien.

She’s using a tool called Augmentative Interspecies Communication. AIC is a scientifically-studied approach to fostering meaningful dialogue between humans and the animals we share our lives with.
