“We have enjoyed the response that our retailers and consumers have had to our Lulubelles dog toys, so it was a natural extension of our brand to design Kittybelles cat toys. We are grateful to the many retailers that requested we branch out to cat and take our fun, whimsical ideas to this new segment” said Robin Kershner, founder of Huxley & Kent. “We look forward to launching these at Global Pet Expo.”
