Celebrity Kitty Meets Metal Gear Cat Toys at CatCon 2026

Stealth and Snuggles: Konami Teams Up with Celebrity Cat to Launch Metal Gear Merch

Get ready to scratch, pounce, and celebrate! Konami is shaking up the toy world by partnering with a celebrity feline to bring you a special collection of Metal Gear-themed cat merchandise, set to debut at the highly anticipated CatCon 2026.

Meet one-eared Uno, a strikingly adorable kitty who is teaming up with her owner, Kat Curtis, to bring the stealth and action of the Metal Gear universe into the feline world. Uno, affectionately known for her charming underbite, is not just a pet; she’s a social media star, boasting over five million followers, and she is set to be a big part of this cross-promotion.

The collaboration goes beyond simple cuddles. The special collection features merchandise inspired by the iconic stealth missions of Metal Gear, including cat scratch boxes modeled after the cardboard containers Big Boss and Old Snake used for sneaking around, plush pet toys, and stylish cat collars inspired by titles like Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

Fans will have a chance to celebrate this unique partnership in person at CatCon, which takes place at the Pasadena Convention Center on October 10 and 11. Uno and Kat will be hosting a special meet-and-greet event at the Konami booth, allowing attendees to meet the stars of the collaboration.

For those looking to snag the Snake-approved gear, the exclusive merchandise will be available at the convention and online through the OKS Gear Shop. Furthermore, CatCon attendees can earn extra perks by visiting the Konami booth and demonstrating ownership of the Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2, adding it to their wishlist, or purchasing the merchandise directly at the booth.

This limited-time partnership perfectly captures the absurdity and brilliance of the Metal Gear series, proving that stealth and snuggles can go hand in hand. It’s a delightful blend of gaming legacy and adorable companionship, ensuring that cat lovers of all ages will be ready for some serious fun.
