I am Vernessa Himmler, an illustrator, and sand-artist based in Hamburg, Germany. Since early 2013 I have worked as a freelance illustrator, and one of my recent illustration projects is a series of funny comics that show people the hilarious and crazy life of being a silly cat owner.
I’ve been drawing since my childhood and received a masters degree in illustration from HAW Hamburg - Design Department. Over the years I have developed my own visual language, which consists of realistic fine drawings and modern coloration. I started drawing my kitty cat comics only two years ago, inspired by my two cute cats Mikosch and Koschka, who I adopted from a local animal shelter a few years back.
I began creating these funny drawings on Instagram to share my life as a crazy cat lady and the awkward moments of my two funny cats, and while many of my comics depict the headaches cats can bring, they are still such wonderful pets. My favorite thing about cats is the moment when they want your attention (for a cuddle or something else), it makes you extremely happy when they chose to come to you on their own!
Scroll down below to see some of my cute drawings from a day in the life of a cat owner and for all the cat parents out remember, you don’t own your cat, your cat owns you!"

One of the many sounds - the other one is the fridge door where the cream is kept.
Oh yes and ribbon and earplugs, Christmas tree decorations, paper streamers, leather shoes, potting soil and so on and on. And of course cat toys - you wish. lol
Don't forget the plants IN the potting soil. And tree decorations only count if the cat is in the upper-most branches attempting to get the ornaments.

Our cats go nuts over twist ties from a bread bag. They both play with them until they get lost under the fridge. Once in awhile we move the fridge out and kick out all the twist ties and the cats go nuts
I have an 8 month old rescue cat called Milo. I adopted him when he was about 9 weeks old. I soon discovered what remains his favourite thing in the world to play with- dry fusilli pasta. He will play with it for ages & then stashes it in one of my shoes. My 17 year old daughter says he is broken! Who cares. He is happy!
Sometimes all three of my cats will all be staring at the same dark corner. It creeps me out.
"Koshka" .. its sounds like "Kočka" in czech language, what's mean Katze / Cat .)
I snip off the very tips of my cats claws. We have a scratching post also but she has a tendency to try hitting the dog in the eye and I REALLY don't want a blind puppy. But again I just snip off the super sharp tips of them NEVER like cut them short.
When all I want is to hug the cat: the cat hates me When all I want is to work: the cat can't live without me
Or the other person gets all mad because you are comparing an "animal" to a human...well that animal is my child and gets treated as such and honestly I feel like all pet owners should treat their pets as a family member. The o lot exception there is a working animal BUT even those get treated incredibly well.
We get fur round the door of the washing machine from the clothes and have to remove it
I really enjoyed these, really so like what my furry monsters get up to
Now these are some really new and extremely funny ideas! But they do all look very familiar...
Ahh yes. To do or not to do, that is the question. Tis nobler to read cut comics or to do boring English homework. To do or not to do, that is the question
I can relate to a lot of these. Right now I have two cats, littermate sisters - possibly half-sisters. They were real buddies until recently, then they started fighting. At least I am in a two-story townhouse so one stays upstairs and one downstairs.
I can relate to a lot of that I have a 7year one cat called angle she's a little devil
So cute and accurate. I actually laughed out loud at some, which is something I rarely do.
That's so sad, you must miss them terribly. Are there any pets you aren't allergic to?
