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!"

Yep. One time I woke up because my cat had half her head in my mouth and she was licking my tongue. I asked her what she was doing and she told me it was none of my business and walked off.

I sometimes see my cats' faces. and sometimes I feel pain before opening my eyes seeing my cat holding out his paw like: "About time you woke up, b***h."

It's either this, or I see nothing because there's a cat on my face.

My cat has this weird thing where she has to lick my eyelid if I'm sleeping and she wants attention.

My cat likes to pat my closed eyes with his paw. Once I woke up about a half second too early. Ouch.

Since kittenhood, one of my cats, who's 16 now, will whack me with his tail if I try to ignore him in the morning. Then he'll turn around and repeatedly touch my face with his very cold, very wet nose. Yeah, I'm awake.

They show their butts to you so you know it's them... it's the way they identify each other among themselves.

One of mine licks my eyelids open. Then she's like: Oh, good, you're awake; pet me.

My cat would pounce on my chest to wake me up, and scare the hell out of me. Then she would bite my nose.

I hate cat anuses, especially when they are all crusty. Why can't they just present the front end?

One of the many sounds - the other one is the fridge door where the cream is kept.

Yep. The other day I just shook the bowl to cover the spot and it was accepted by the queen of the house.

Sometimes all three of my cats will all be staring at the same dark corner. It creeps me out.

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

If I lift my youngest, she will look everywhere except where the spider is, eventhough she was meowing while on the ground. Duh

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
