Master Pookie
Eternal King · Founder
The fluffy sovereign with the third eye. He had the Vision in Provence and decreed the Golden Croissant for feline ascension.
Most brands start in a garage or a boardroom. Ponoto started on a sun-drenched windowsill in a small boulangerie in Provence, during a nap that lasted seventeen hours.
It was there that Pookie, our founder and Eternal Master, had the Vision.
He saw a world where cats were no longer insulted by neon-plastic mice and synthetic feathers that lose their scent in a week. He saw a world of texture, potency, and style. He dreamed of a Croissant—a shape familiar to his French home—but infused with a rare, cosmic herb from the American plains that would stay active long after the human went to bed.
In Pookie's dream, he saw the “Sacred Geometry” (16×8×4 cm)—the perfect size for a feline to kick, snuggle, and claim as their own. When he woke up, he didn't just meow for food. He signaled to his human acolytes that it was time to build.
We follow the strict mandates Pookie set forth in his vision.
Every artifact is hand-stitched in France using 100% organic cotton. We believe beauty is a requirement, not an option.
We use a proprietary variety of US catnip, harvested and dried using a secret technique that preserves the "vibe" far longer than the average toy.
Every cat is a god. Therefore, every relic should be personalized to their specific frequency.
