Project Update: Final Three Scientists Added!
Thank you so much for showing your support for Cats Doing Science! I have a few exciting updates to share with you.
New Pledge Tier
This also means I am done adding new designs to this campaign.
🤣
Special Note to Cute Cat Pin Club Members: I know that a number of backers already have the Chemistry Cat form when I originally did it as a club pin, but I did not add a tier that specifically excludes this as I did not want to confuse folks. If you already have a Chemestry cat I would be more than happy to send somethign else as an alternative if you send me a request for this.

I just saw the new list for the new campaign and rip my wallet. I know nothing about Quantum Mechanics but I need the Quantum Cats pin. lol
Project Update: More Cats Doing Science Coming in March 2024!
I am extremely excited to announce that in March 2024 I will be launching More Cats Doing Science on BackerKit!
This NEW project picks up where my original Cats Doing Science project left off.
I will be introducing LOTS of new science, engineering, and math cat pin designs. Many of these designs are based off of the many requests that I have been receiving.
Here is just a few of the MANY new science cats that will be coming! Please click the link and let me know that I can count on your support in March for More Cats Doing Science!

Project Update: Back to packing and shipping out!
I am back to packing and shipping out Science Cats!
I have about 100 orders left to ship including the extra pre-orders that came in through Backerkit.
The goal is still to have everything shipped out before the end of the month. While I was hoping to be done already, life had other plans.
For those of you who are still waiting, I am grateful for your patience.
As always if you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
Kindest regards,
Joshua R Pinkas
Project Update: Shipping is Underway!
I have started shipping out the pins!
About half of the pins have shipped out, but there will be a slight delay for the remainder.
My grandfather (94) has passed away and I will need to travel for the funeral. (Don't feel bad, he lived a wonderful and full life).
I will resume shipping pins next week.
Kindest regards,
Joshua R Pinkas
Project Update: Cards Charge Tomorrow!
This is your last reminder that I will be charging cards through Backerkit tomorrow for shipping costs as well as any add-ons that you selected.
I will begin shipping out pins this weekend!
If you have any questions or concerns please let me know.
Kindest regards,
Joshua R Pinkas
Project Update: Pin Production Update!
I am happy to say that I have tracking numbers for several heavy packages that contain the Cats Doing Science Pins!
If all goes smoothly I am expecting to have them in hand by the end of next week. Then I will be inspecting and packaging them up before shipping them out.
I will be letting BackerKit charge payment cards for any pledge manager add-ons on Wed, November 1st. If you need the charge for your add-ons delayed please let me know BEFORE November and I will do my best to separate you from the main group and delay your charge and shipping.
If you have any questions or concerns please let me know and I will do my best to address them.
Kindest regards,

Project Update: Research Assistant Design Insights Video!
I, unfortunately, do not yet have an update on the pin production to share. But as the saying goes, no news is good news! So we shall collectively take this as good news as we continue to patiently wait for the pins.
Here is the video for the Research Assistant pin. After this there is only the Atom Cat video left!
Have a great rest of your week!
Kindest regards,
Joshua R Pinkas
Project Update: Laser Science Cat Design Insights Video!
We are still waiting for the pins to finish up production. I am having to use a considerable amount of willpower to not send a 'are they done yet?' email to my production partner. Of course I know that if they were done, they would let me know...so the question truly is pointless.
More than that though, asking them such a question might signal that I am more interested in speed than quality, and nothing could be further from the truth! Quality is my highest priority, and sometimes quality takes a bit more time...
So to fill a small amount of that time, here is the design video for the Laser Science Cat!
If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
Have a wonderful rest of your week!
Kindest regards,
Joshua R Pinkas
Project Update: Mycology Cat Design Insights Video!
As we continue to patiently wait on the pin production I have another design video to help fill the time!
Here is the Mycology Cat!
While we continue to wait if you have any questions or concerns please let me know.
Kindest regards,

Project Update: Entomology Cat Design Insights Video!

Have a fantastic rest of your week!
