Nunu & Miao Studio: A Real-Life Cat Telenovela Turned Brand

Nunu & Miao Studio: A Real-Life Cat Telenovela Turned Brand

Where Cats Rule, Stories Unfold, and T-Shirts Speak Your Mood

It all began in Istanbul.

I had traveled there for a friend’s wedding, expecting joy, dancing, and baklava. What I didn’t expect were the cats. Everywhere. Elegant, mischievous, and completely unbothered by the world. They owned the streets. They posed like models. They had attitude, presence… personality. I was enchanted.

When I returned home to Italy, still daydreaming about my feline encounters, fate took things one step further.
Enter Karbushitta—a tiny, wide-eyed kitten my brother brought home out of the blue. No explanation. No plan. Just paws and purrs and instant chaos.

She didn’t just become part of the family—she became the center of it.

And then… she became pregnant.,

Suddenly, I was no longer a cat auntie, I was a grandmother.
Five kittens arrived like a twist in a drama series:
👑Mimmi, the diva: the undisputed queen of the house who claimed the highest spot she could find, sitting like royalty as she watched over her kingdom with graceful judgment and zero tolerance for nonsense.


🧡 Oscar, el romántico,  the gentle-hearted sweetheart who believed every hug was a love story and every kiss a happy ending.


🎶 Miagola, who literally sang her meows like a feline opera star.
And two others, who found safe, loving homes where they now reign as royalty.

That chapter changed me. I started a YouTube channel with Karbushitta. We played. We filmed. We connected. The more time I spent with her, the more I saw it: cats are hilarious, expressive, sarcastic little soul mirrors. I laughed, I healed, I grew.

And somewhere between those cuddles and comedy skits, my entrepreneurial spark lit up.
Why not create something that puts all of this into people’s lives?
A little humor. A little motivation. A touch of mischief. All told through the one species that rules us all—cats.

✈️ From Italy to Greece: A Divine Whisper and a Furry Plot Twist

One quiet night in Italy, something stirred in my heart.
A moment of stillness. A feeling too clear to ignore.
God was guiding me.

No confusion, no hesitation.
Just certainty: "Go to Greece. And not just anywhere—that city. That house."

I listened.
I packed up, followed the call, and landed in a cozy home nestled under the sun.
Little did I know... the real surprise was just beginning. 😸

Because in that house, I wasn’t alone for long.

Enter: Habibi.
An orange street-smart heartthrob with a confidence only stray cats possess. He strolled into my life like he owned the sidewalk—and possibly my heart. From that day on, he never left. He naps on my porch like he pays rent, offers side-eyes like he's judging my fashion choices, and acts like the king of the neighborhood.

Just when I thought I had one cat companion...Plot twist: A mysterious queen named Habibty appeared—pregnant, majestic, and glowing with maternal mystery.

She chose my home as the nursery for her grand debut and gave birth to two incredible kittens under my care:
🌙 Nunu: the spirited adventurer in disguise! Don’t let the dreamy eyes fool you, this little star is always on the move, exploring every corner, chasing every shadow, and stealing hearts along the way. 
🌟 Stella : our tender-hearted Sleeping Beauty. With a purr that melts stress and naps that last hours, she brings softness and calm to even the wildest feline drama. A gentle soul who rules with love (and lots of snoozes). 

Now, my house? Let’s just say it’s been officially claimed.
And not just by this core cast—every day, new feline faces show up at my door. Stray cats I’ve never seen before. I swear they’ve started a secret cat WhatsApp group:
"🗣 Hey, there’s a lady down the road giving free food. She also talks to us like we're royalty. Go!" 🐾

They come. They stay. They purr.
And in return, they gave me the push I needed to finally bring my dream to life:
Nunu & Miao Studio.

A brand born from laughter, late-night feedings, stolen socks, and the beautiful chaos of being loved by cats.

👕 Why Nunu & Miao Studio Exists

I didn’t build this brand to sell shirts.
I built it to share a story.

A story of cats who remind us to slow down, stretch out, and stay curious.
Of everyday moments turned extraordinary through a meow or a tail flick.
Of connection—between you and your pet, between a quote on a tee and a feeling you didn’t know you needed.

Each piece in the collection carries something real:
A wink of humor. A spark of sass. A cozy comfort.
It’s for the cat lovers who see beyond the fluff—to the wisdom, the wildness, and the joy they bring.

And Me? I’m Naima.

Dreamer. Designer. Full-time cat companion.
I run this shop with love, imagination, and a house full of paw prints.

Nunu & Miao Studio is more than a brand—it’s a tribute to the creatures that changed my life and continue to inspire every design.

Thanks for being here.
Whether you found us by chance, by curiosity, or by cat-led destiny, you’re part of the story now too.

The telenovela continues... 🐾

PS: I think Habibty is pregnant again.
Who's the father? No one knows.
How many kittens this time? Place your bets.
Is it my other orange fluffball, Habibi, the neighborhood heartbreaker who never left my doorstep?
We might need a DNA test. Or maybe just more snacks.

Stay tuned… because in this household, the cat saga is never over—it’s just getting fluffier.
