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.
Like an idiot, I put the can down to their level so that they can smell that it's not "food", just people junk.
Me too. This is how I learned one of mine will eat canned carrots.

yep..my cats are tuned in, unless i.m calling to come or not to do something..
My cat,Turnips , always come running when I'm chopping something, in case I chop raw chicken. So disappointed when it's potatoes, onions or something else boring :)
My cat will come over me when they hear the sound of plastic or if I say "Hiti! Hiti! Hiti!"(Our native language [Dusun]) which means "Here! Here!Here!" in English. I used this phrase not only when I want to feed them, but also pat them.
Are you from Malaysia? I'm just curious because I had a friend that spoke Dusun and I had never heard of it before (to be fair I am one of those ignorant Americans lol)

Load More Replies...I have the same with my dog.. Any kind of cans.. Or any kind of bags.. Anything that makes "sounds like my food" noise.. :D
I only need to think of tuna and the cat comes! (Proof ot mind reading) 🐈😁
Lol that's why you show them what you opened and wait for the face of sheer utter disappointment and disapproval from your pet haha
I peeled the foil off a jar of peanuts and Cid woke up from a dead sleep. He doesn't even EAT canned food...
Everytime we open a plastic baggy the cats think it's their candy, they will actually climb up your leg with their nails super lovely in your legs to see what you got xD
If i heard a can of canned corn opening, I'd coma a' runnin! althogh I am no cat.
cat: 3 meter dash! hooman: False alarm. Cat: Noooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
There was a time I opened a tin of fish with chili sauce (for me, not my cat), ate it in the kitchen, and my cat ignored me for 1.5 days because he thought I ate his stuff.
My cat comes running when she hears a can opener despite the fact that her whole life the cat food I bought is pull top.
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?
