Kitty in My Pocket: History and Key Facts

Kitty in My Pocket is a collection of small toy cat figurines that was first released in 1994 by Vivid Imaginations. As well the toys being sold individually in blind packets they were also sold in blister-packaged groups and large playsets. In 2007 the line was re-released by Corinthian Marketing/MEG Toys with the same concept but with different designs for the cats. In 2009 the Kitty in My Pocket line was discontinued, yet again. In 2015, a company called Just Play re-released the line. As before the toys were sold in individual blind bags and in playsets.

During the late 1990s, the line - as well as the other "in My Pocket" toy lines - combined with the BBC Television programme Animal Hospital and the animal charity RSPCA to create animals that came with "injuries" (a paint that turned red in cold water). Eventually the original "in My Pocket" lines disappeared and fully merged with the Animal Hospital brand name.
