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.
Sometimes all three of my cats will all be staring at the same dark corner. It creeps me out.
She forgot to show how cats expand during the night. So you only get to sleep in a tiny portion of the bed. In one position. All night.
One of our cats loves to start running back and forth thru the room once we try to settle in, and she loves to rebound off of the doors with a loud THUD
My kitty is older now. All she does is sleep and doesn’t play. I miss her rambunctiousness. She was a wild one and so funny. Enjoy these times even if you get less sleep because of them :) I still love my boring little old lady though <3
One of the cats we had as kids used to love getting under your covers & hunting your toes! Of course if you are fast asleep & your foot gets bitten or clawed, you pull it away. This just made it more fun for the cat though! No wonder his name changed from Midnight to Mischief!
Mine will get on the wall side of me and try to shove me off the bed. Managed it one hot summer night, too.
This happens every night. I usually put my cat out of my room when I go to bed. However, every once in a while I think that maybe tonight is the night that she will sleep with me. Wrong!
"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?
