Meet the talented Em Paquin, an animation student who desperately wanted a cat. We came across some of her lovely re-created digital paintings of popular cat images online and reached out to ask her to explain the meaning behind this project and the goal of painting 100 cats.
Em explains that the project was originally titled, "Day __ of drawing cats until my parents let me adopt one." Em continues to reveal her longing for a cat of her own, "I wanted so desperately to adopt a cat, and being home for quarantine was the perfect time to introduce a new furball to the family. The only thing in my way was my parents who I've been living with, now that my college courses are online."
"These daily illustrations were a subtle way of voicing my wish to adopt a cat."
On day 21 of the project, Em brought home a new kitten named Beanie. However, Em realized how much she enjoyed drawing cats and wanted to push herself but taking it further, thus setting the goal of drawing 100 cats!
So, what will Em do the moment that goal is reached? Seeing as how she's already on Day 68, the 100th drawing isn't too far away.
"After that goal is reached, they will probably continue, maybe for a year, or maybe I won't ever stop."
Well, we're glad to hear that because we love them! Keep up the beautiful drawings, Em! Follow Em on Instagram for daily cat drawings!

One of our favorite entertaining comic artists, @hannahhillam, has introduced a new kitten into her comics, and into her life.
Introducing Mouse! Hillam adopted him from @humanesocietysv and decided on the name "Mouserat," Mouse for short. Before coming into her care, "He was fostered by a wonderful woman who said he and his siblings helped her through the stress of working in a hospital during the beginning of COVID. I'm so glad he came home with us because he fits in so well. This cat will play fetch for an hour straight. He loves perching on my shoulder and has quite the purr. He has endless energy and the prettiest green-yellow eyes."
Hillam sadly lost her cat Bear, July 18th, 2019. Bear and Battleship were often featured in her popular comics and now it's time for Mouse to make his comic debut. According to Hillam, "Battleship was pretty ticked that we brought a strange new cat home but he's warming up and they're even playing together now."
We can't wait to see the relationship between Mouse and Battleship develop! Follow Hannah Hillam on Instagram for all comic updates!
