Cats have inspired a lot of artwork on our site, and it's been great to see how differently each artist sees them. Over the years, our community has shared an amazing variety of cat-inspired pieces, and we’ve loved seeing the creativity and care behind each one.
In this collection, we’re featuring the cat art that stood out the most to our readers—whether for its humor, detail, or simple charm. The styles range from digital portraits to soft watercolors, from playful cartoons to sleek silhouettes. Every piece here has its own take on what makes cats so easy to love.

We reached out to one of the artists featured in this article, Lisa von Vix of "The Vix Cats," to learn more about her creative process and the inspiration behind her whimsical feline illustrations.
The artist shared that while she has been creating art for over 13 years, she only began drawing cats in the past 3 years. "I've had a rougher time as a self-employed artist when Covid hit, and I actually swore I would quit drawing. Spoiler alert: you can't do that, haha! So, I wanted to steer away as far as possible from my old works (mainly linework female portraits), and because I was about to get a second cat, I said, 'Why not? Here's a new challenge: I'll learn how to draw cats!'. I needed something sweet, fun, and 'light' to get a fresh start. And it's been a really good decision, which I thank my cats for."

Lisa hopes her illustrations bring a little joy to people’s days, just as her cats bring joy to hers, and as drawing brings her a sense of happiness each time. "Whether they’re cat lovers or just need a smile, I want them to feel a sense of warmth and fun when they see my work."
When asked about the tools and materials she uses for her illustrations, Lisa shared that she typically works digitally, either on her iPad or using her Wacom tablet with Photoshop. "I do, however, sometimes go back to the old classic notebook and paper, and play around with colored crayons, Posca pens, or acrylics, or even just a basic random pen that I grab. The traditional works don't usually make it on my Instagram, though, since they're mainly either preliminary sketches or just personal, journal-like scribbles that I wouldn't share."

According to Lisa, she enjoys the freedom that comes with drawing cats—they can be graceful, goofy, devious, or sweet, and sometimes all of these at once. "For me, I feel like drawing cats has no limits, because you can easily draw them in the weirdest or strangest theme, and it still works, plus, it's a very nice creative exercise. I've had plenty of random moments, like watching Kendrick's HalfTime show, or buying strawberries, or going to the gym, and thinking 'oh I should draw this BUT AS A CAT'."

BTW - Speaking of Dali, for those of you who remember Disney's 1940 feature, 'Fantasia', there was an interesting sort-of follow-up to it. It seems that Disney and Salvador Dali began collaborating on a Dali-esque animated piece called 'Destino', designed by Dali and animated by Disney. As I understand it, it was started and then shelved for quite a long time. A few years back, it was unearthed and completed. You can find it on YouTube; search for 'Destino Disney Dali'. But that's not all - someone had the idea to replace the original music track with Pink Floyd's "Time". And *that* version is on YouTube as well. Here it is - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc_f9VDVsNk

A follow-on to earlier experiments using brief periods of free-fall in a jet fighter, perhaps? Here's a picture from those experiments - Cats-In-SP...5464f6.jpg

YES!!! When I introduced Rillan to 'My Neighbor Totoro', she showed it to her young daughter Jamie. Jamie said "I hope I see Totoro some day!" Rillan told her, "If you do, come get me, because I want to see him too!" (When we sent a copy to some relatives in the small north central PA town where Mike grew up, they played it for their kid. Then for all the neighbor kids. Then the local video store was swamped with every kid - and parent - in town wanting to buy all the Studio Ghibli DVDs they could get their hands on. We quickly warned them to steer clear of 'Grave of the Fireflies'.)
