“What It’s Like To Have A Cat”: 40 Illustrations By This Artist (New Pics)
Interview With ArtistIf you clicked on this post based on the title, we are going to assume you are a cat person, and that you’ve come to the right place! With that being said, today we’d love to show the new illustrations of a Hungarian artist called Rita Vigovszky. Rita’s work mostly features her cats, which are one of the most popular pets. In times when a lot of people find comfort in pets and also connect with them on a deeper level, the artist uses her talent to explore the relationship between cats and their owners.
Rita illustrates her life with a cat, and perhaps some of these illustrations might remind you of familiar situations with your own pets. With that being said, if you’d love to see more of Vigovszky’s work on Bored Panda, then make sure to click here for part 1 of the illustrations!

Bored Panda reached out to the author of the comics, first, we asked about how the artist started making comics, and how the whole thing came about.
"I've always enjoyed these types of short webcomics, and unconsciously started to make my own ones way before I even started to share them with the public. They are a fun way to share your feelings with the world, and see how people find these feelings relatable."
We were also wondering what inspires Rita to make comics overall.
"Miyu (Rita's cat) has been and will be my muse, but I like to take inspiration from everywhere, from my own life principally, obviously, but I always try to make mental sketches and look for ideas for new comics. I have a lot of ideas I have yet to make, I just need more time for them!"
No, just the dream. The reality is the sweetness suffocating us by sleeping on our faces.

My sweet kitty passed away few days ago and this brought tears in my eyes. Goodbye my friend. Pita-na-st...84-png.jpg
Sometimes, my heart cat comes back to visit me in my dreams.
Mine came back in my dream only once. It was one of those dreams that seem so real. When I saw her, I picked her up and said something like " I can't believe how I was lucky enough to have you come back to me.". Then, I woke up. :(
Load More Replies...I can sometimes feel the presence of my twin brother, a cat that was adopted when we were both 18 months old. He died at 16, so he had a nice long life. He was so pampered, and was the smartest cat I have ever known.
Same here. I often feel the familiar pressure from their bodies leaning against my back or on my legs when I’m sleeping. It’s so comforting. Sometimes I swear I see them out of the corner of my eye. Now, I’m pretty much of a realist, and prefer science over mysticism, so for me to say those things carries weight.
Load More Replies...This one made me tear up. I shared my beloved Spikers life for 20 years and she's been gone now for almost 20 years but sometimes in those half asleep half awake moments I still feel her there.
Few years ago cat i had (she was19) passed away😭 if you've had a cat you know the feeling of them jumping on the bed. The night she passed i went to lay down feeling incredibly heart broken and i swear on everything that is everything she jumped on the bed to lay with me.... Cried so hard😭😭😭😭
This reminds me so much of my cat, he would always run up to me when I came home, stay with me for the rest of the day then run too my bed for sleep time. But the he got cancer, we tried to beat it but nothing worked, yet he remained the same way no matter what. I use to cry everyday till and after he passed. I miss you so much eleven thirty.
Nowadays we tend to believe they reincarnate to other cats you'll take care off. Somehow we see certain personality treats back in our current cats. It's as if parts of them never leave you & always will be around. Its their way of saying we love you & take care of you!
I did not expect tears but here I am. My baby girl passed in 2020 and there has been a massive hole in my heart since then.
May I make a comment regarding grammar selection…. firstly I am a HUGE Cat 🐈 lover but you really should proof your writing prior to publishing specifically the overused and poor phrasing "THAT BEING SAID" is mentioned at least three times! American grammar is poor enough, please substitute something more unique for your readers, we all appreciate it.
With all of that being said, we were wondering whether the artist was always making comics or if it was just something she started doing recently, and here's what she told us.
"Drawing has always been very important in my life, even since I was a little girl, and I started experimenting with digital drawings during my teenage years, but I had never thought until finishing college that making illlustration could be my career one day."
A lot of people enjoy the work Rita puts out, so we were curious about what it was like to have such a motivating audience.
"It's so, so rewarding. Especially when you feel like the world is burning with all of these horrible events going around, seeing a comment where someone says my comic made them laugh or I get a heartfelt feedback for one of my commissioned illustrations - that's what keeps you going. It's just a very nice feeling to know you might make someone's day a little bit better."
Lastly, we decided to let the artist share her additional thoughts with all of you Pandas.
"I'm constantly trying to improve my artistic skills and experimenting with new techniques, it's a never-ending learning curve and I am never satisfied with myself. I'm trying to make my art more niche, because I tend to want to try out everything but I also want to give my followers what they expect of me and what I really enjoy doing too - cats, even more cats, and lighthearted, relatable comics."
Where are the hairs that are spread all over the clothes - that every cat owner wears as an accessory?
Yes. We chronically have noseprints on the windows. We have 3 cats and a dog. Occupational hazard for pet owners.
