- This project is an offshoot idea I had after designing this little clip for fun: https://i.imgur.com/gkCP21f.mp4
- The subtle pattern design in the main area are stillframes from the Bongocat going clickitty clackitty on a keyboard
- The keyboard coaster smaller mats features a second cat so that whenever you lift your keyboard you get a cute surprise
- There has been further round of revisions and prototypes since the photographs, including the addition of Luna (Moon) and Tiga to the XL range, Black (simple) to the S & M range. Square corners were changed to rounded corners.
- I have reached out to the artist (StrayRogue) of the original meme and they have given their blessings
- Bongomat is an alternative name for this project
