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.
"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.
I always trim my cats nails, have like 3 scratching posts and YET always scratches my damn sofa.
Same here. But for me it's sofa AND the mattress underneath my bed...

Only one of our cats needs this doing and the first paw is fine then she thinks better of it! So it takes me a week to do all paws.
I am currently having this fun. I have to keep waiting until he dozes off on me & then get as many as I can before he notices. Either that or get used to shredded clothes from his claws getting stuck & shredded me from when he kneads me.
We snip the very tips of our cat's nails off, and then we place rubber claw caps on them as she has a really bad habit of scratching on things that AREN'T her scratching post. We have leather furniture, so it's a no go. I don't want to stop her from naturally needing to stretch, but the caps protect her and protect the furniture... as well as us. She likes to swipe at us, and even with tip-cut claws, they are still sharp and will hurt us and draw blood. She's mean to the dog as well, so we have to take that power aware from her.
and the caps naturally come off as her nail naturally grows and sheds. And she's able to still scratch at her posts and other approved scratching things as she feels like it. We just replace it with a new one whenever she sheds one naturally.

definitely with mine as well heheh, bendy hates getting his nails clipped
So true! But then I have the added hell of getting the kitty caps on their nails after I cut them.
My cats use their scratching posts and let me tell you....that's not enough. We need to cut their claws. Those things are horrible, deadly, blades.

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?
