reality

Living with animals comes with quite a few challenges. From having our cats causing endless chaos to having our dogs bringing about absolute pawndemonium, having pets in the house can be hard. But, of course, it's worth it. 

No matter how many times we will wake up with our dog's paw right on our faces or how many times we will have our cat run over our stomachs when we least expect it like a heckin' elephant, no matter how many struggles we go through, having pets is the most amazing decision we have all ever made. And feeling our pets' love towards us is always worth it in the end, no matter how many shenanigans precede those moments of wholesomeness. 

Something that all cat owners have come to understand over the past year is that working from home when you have a cat is not easy. Your cat is annoyed with you for not leaving its house for so long, you have to deal with their endless annoyed meowing, your cat keeps invading all your zoom calls. The reality of working with cats is relatable to all cat owners, and it is absolutely hilarious. 

Of course, the talented Israeli artist, Ilana Zeffren, understands the situation just as much as any other cat owner, and in her latest comic, she has managed to capture that reality purrfectly. Except that she's showing us the cat's perspective on the whole thing. Spoiler: it's too funny. 

We have some amazing news from Ilana as well! A fresh collection of her hilarious and adorable comics are about to be released as a book in England with Soaring Penguin Press! Soon, you'll be able to buy a copy and enjoy reading more of her art. Having seen her comics before, you know just how amazing she is. So, if you want to find out more details about her book as well as show some love and support to a talented fellow cat lover, check out Ilana's kickstarter right here.

Things I Have Drawn is an Instagram account where father-of-two and book author Tom Curtis shares kid's drawings from all over the world. But that's not all – he decided that it would be more fun to bring those cute, childish doodles into the real life. The result is both funny and terrifying at the same time.
