Why do I have such a strong dislike (almost disgust or disdain) over zukka 💀???
Like, I shipped them before natla come out, but then actors started to pose and pushing this ship and I like...fell out of shipping it immediately.
It so strange.

Cats Warsaw Merch
Aka all the Cats Warsaw merch things that I've found, at least so far
Starting with the stuff that I actually own:
CD Album
It's a highlights album containing 14 of the songs, sang by the main singing part of the cast, which mainly results in that some parts go to different people than later on stage, including Mistoffelees' part in "Mr M" being sang by the actor playing Victor (he does sing it as Misto). Also some of the songs in their arrangements are sounding closer to OBC than to how they would later sound on stage (mainly Jellicle Ball and Mr M).
The little booklet contains some basic information about the show, the songs included and the cast, as well as a few photos from the recording of the album
It was recorded in November 2003 and published/available for purchase with the premiere of the show on Jan 10, 2004
Programme
I got actually 2 of those, from 2004 and 2007. They are almost identical (only differences are ads and a bracket indicating one of the sponsors died by 2007). The actually different things are the cast inserts, both in the cast as well as the general formatting and rehearsal photos included
More photos of the 2004 version here
Book
Once again I have 2 of those, one came to me in its original protective sleeve and i'm keeping it safely tucked away. The other one is by now ever so slightly falling apart from how many times I've read it XD
The book contains interviews with: the set, costume and make up designers, the translator and some notes from the choreographers and cast members. It also includes quite a few photos (most of them from rehearsals) as well as fragments of song lyrics, some of the character descriptions and other general information about the show and its production
It was published in November 2004
Stuff that I know about from photos
Posters
I have a few such photos from a promo event for the CD album where people could get cds and posters, get them signed and there was face painting and some other activities including learning how to be a cat or smth
Umbrellas
This premiere photo is the only one that I got
A cup and a saucer
This is the only picture I have of it, and I am honestly not sure if it was actually sold or if it was custom made, but I'm gonna count it anyway
Pens
I don't actually have a photo of any, BUT the plaque over this lady's shoulder says "Długopis KOTY" aka "Pen CATS", and at this point that's all that I got (also there are CD albums on the top shelf)
Repertoire brochure
Distributed most likely sometime in December 2003, given it advertises the premiere and all the preview shows. Cats Warsaw had in total 6 preview shows, and it also had 2 premieres
The repertoire is for January and Febuary 2004, aka the original planned run of the show
Calendar
This is the only photo I have of it, possibly for June or July page, and curiously enough the same photo can be found in the Warsaw book, on Demeter's page. This suggests at least some other portrait photos from the book were originally taken for this calendar
Not merch but I thought they should be included
Cats Warsaw documentary "Ujażmić Koty" ("The taming of Cats")
Making of Cats Warsaw, which included some of the musical's history and the director's history with it; some interviews with the cast, mainly Damian Aleksander (Munkustrap), Ewa Lachowicz (Demeter), Grzegorz Suski (Macavity), Jakub Szydłowski and Paweł Podgórski (both Rum Tum Tugger); rehearsal, backstage and premiere footage
It had its premiere on December 20, 2004
2005 edition of the Poems (that I do own)
2005 edition of "Old Possum's" translated by Stanisław Barańczak, simply titled "Koty" ("Cats")
The only tie it has to the musical is the fact that the cover photo is a very edited fragment of a rehearsal photo featured in the middle spread of the programme mentioned in the beginning of this list
It's Tantomile plus Etcetera's leg
