Siberian Artist Makes Adorable Comics About Everyday Life With Her Two Ferrets (30 Pics)
It turns out, cats and dogs are so last season. Yes, I said it. And not because you can get too much of their pawsome cuteness, but rather because a very solid competitor in winning our hearts just entered the game.
You see, the Siberian illustrator Liza Nechaeva has been documenting the insanely adorable adventures of her two catsnakes in her hilarious comic strips. The frisky ferrets named Meemoo and Feefo are influencers in their own league with 1,567 Instagram followers. And they’re the main characters in Liza’s illustrations too.
“I treat my pets like a part of the family and some of the humor comes from them acting out like children or me taking them too seriously. I sometimes catch myself telling them off like I would a child and find them blinking at me in confusion,” Liza told Bored Panda. “They understand, but choose not to listen.” So it’s time to get into the comic world of Siberian Lizard that will explain your late-night Google search for adopting a new ferret!

Yes, but your pic says otherwise. (I'm just kidding)

Who the hell downvoted you? Pet rats don't have rabies etc, only harmless stuff that occurs in ratteries owned by responsible people.

My wiener dog, Teddy Bear, sleeps with me and in the winter time when my room gets cold I just roll over and curl up around him. He's a little mini heater. But in the summer time his three-foot long a*s is on the other side of the bed.
Sometimes you can tip at the time you place your order online so it's all done before the delivery person ever arrives.
Load More Replies...Most of Liza’s comics come from observational humor since her two ferrets provide lots of funny moments throughout the day. “They inspired me to make the very first comic ('What makes a ferret?') and they continue to inspire daily stories,” she told us.
But when Liza started making comics, she couldn’t find any about ferrets. “Which was strange, because they are the 3rd most popular pet in the US after cats and dogs. So I feel that my comics have built a community of ferret and pet lovers who wanted something a little different.” Liza believes that a lot of ferret owners can relate to her comics and recognize a similar dynamic in their own homes.
Someone once told me that they are like little puppies. Very lovable.

(granted they are one of the best animals for carrying disease, just take good care of yours and you'll be just fine) :)
They are so cute in real life, but people think of them as such dirty monsters😞
No! In dis situation, u write: it’s eyes THO. Cuz it’s so frikin’ cute!
Load More Replies...I'm going through this right now. My cat has decided she wants a sitting spot where I don't want her, so that makes it even more tantalizing. I keep putting objects in her way, but no success so far.
The Siberian illustrator who is currently living in London told us that she usually starts the process of drawing from the punchline and then works backwards to create a comic script. “I find that it is a lot easier to structure a comic if I already know what I want the joke to be.”
Even if not all scripts make it to the final image, Liza likes to have a list of ideas ready to go “so you never run out when you sit down to draw.” After Liza is done with sketching, she usually shows it to her husband. “He has happily taken on the role of quality control.” Only after the initial piece passes the quality control check, the illustrator inks, colors, and shades the picture.
Reflects cats and dogs as well! They worry when their human 'disappears'.
Just never call them and act like you need every minute to yourself then they start coming to you more often or offer them treats and then capture them and don't let them go until you are done with them
i am a coffee machine and i will take revenge on u humans!!!!!! download-2...caea8e.jpg
Honestly pets gets super worried when their "parents" fight. Me and my bf have a very friendly cat at home but when we start to raise our voices he starts to bite like "stop, you're stressing me out"
If he could talk he would say wth are u saying, because he can’t understand
Liza fell in love with ferrets after seeing the film “Along Came Polly.” The main character had a pet ferret called Rodolpho who lived in a pile of dirty laundry. “I was so fascinated by this strange creature, and the way it moved, that I decidedly wanted one as a pet after that.”
Since Liza’s husband is very allergic to cats, the couple decided to get ferrets instead and they have loved them ever since. But the artist warns that these cute animals tend to sleep a whopping 18-20 hours per day, so if you’re thinking of getting one, take it into account.
Very good choice a super expensive animal that jut cost a lot of money and your sanity
With my ferrets it was potatoes, the bathtub plug and even unused tampons from the box. The potatoes and tampons could all be found in little hoards in various places around the house.
Awwww, WAIT.... Does this mean they steal your children!?!?!?! THEY'RE KIDNAPPERS!?!?!?
My old guinea was quite when he would drink water my new one is so loud when he drinks
People like that..? I'm a girl and HATE when my hair gets braided...once a complete stranger did it without me even asking, it's so weird, I don't get it..! It just hurts!
Hmmmm where could he be couldn't be that shadow that's in the exact shape of a ferret
This is what my dog does to my other dog and now she has to be on a diet because of it.
Oh my god we have to separate my dogs so they can't do this it's so bad. LOL
This happens all the time one pet eats almost all the food and everyone wonders why they're so big
That's the same with work difficulty when a certain cat is upstairs.
Me when I step on a plush toy and for a second, I think it's a paw or tail. The horror...
Owner wakes up as ferret and both ferrets turn to humans. She is excited for payback, especially, I believe, pooping on the floor so they have to clean it up.
Why is the butt censored? Hahahah I don't get this one but I love it!
The human woke up as a ferret and the ferrets woke up as humans.
Load More Replies...There are little brown specks coming from the censored area obviously she's pooping as payback...
She became a ferret and her ferrets became humans. So now she is getting payback by pooping everywhere so they need to clean it up now.
Oh god.pets are not equivalent to children, ur love for them maybe more but its a different category of care . People nowadays like to claim they are raising their 'kids' ,but that's just cause they don't want to be seen as less able beings than people with kids. Your pet will likely love u fully coz u take care and FEED them, but human children have mind of their own and can take difficult and different decisions, and can choose their own path, i.e not take care of u in return, or be an a*****e like many like to point out, and people nowadays don't have the strength , stamina or patience to go through the ordeal! All fine, but having kids is a lot more difficult. They grow up and go away. I know a girl who absolutely hates her mother, coz she spends all her time on her dog .your pets can take care of themselves in nature, it's our domestication and taking every resource available that have cut their legs,and they forget what they could actually do. It's selfish really.
I feel this strip would be twice as good if the showed more ferrets and replaced double-digits with triple-digits.
Wonder how her furniture is decorated probably lots of stripes self made! 😉😉
Cat #1 be scratching you’s legs. Cat #2 be fighting to get back in or sleeping on you’s computer
Load More Replies...I used to wish I had a cage too. My own miniature world in which I am safe from everyhting and have no responsibilities... oh wait that sounds more like a terrarium. Oh well still a small pet container
Ha! If the ferret at the desk was a cat it would go straight to the keyboard and walk alllll over it
Wth, they don't dislocate, they are just very flexible. Like a bag of loosely connected bones.
Load More Replies...Oh man, my ferret did this when I was younger and we came home to the whole house torn up because my dog chased it and looked for it all day.
This is very true, My dog has to constantly fight with my ferret just to use her chew toys. Its funny to watch as my dog who 60lbs is being bullied by a 2lb ferret.
I've actually done that w/dog treats... baaaad idea. My family won't let me live it down.
I am sorry. We all have our secrets. I will post mine if you promise not to share it. I have bladder issues and have to wear diapers though I am 11. There is always someone worse off than you.
Load More Replies...I can't say the word vet or bath around my dog. He'll freak and hide.
I do that with my puppy. If it gets to quiet he's probably pooping and EATING IT.
Day 2: My food bowl is half empty. I fear I will starve. I must quickly get the attention of the human companion to inform her of this tragedy..
This happened to me once, except in my case my hamster didn't wake up...
In the circle of ferret, it's the wheel of cuteness, it's the leap off his(Toad) face....
Does anyone else think the evil one looks like evil Sid from ice age
and I would've gotten away with it to if it weren't for you meddling kids
