I Illustrate My Experience As A Modern-Day Parent In 30 Comics With A Feline Twist (New Pics)
I'm Chesca Hause or "Cat Mom" as I've been dubbed online. I may not be the #1 MOM, but I’m not doing so bad and I find people's flaws (especially my own) a huge source of amusement. I think that’s why a million people over various platforms now follow Litterbox Comics - people enjoy laughing at the mess of life together!
I started the comic 4 years ago because I had a hard time being a mom. I found comfort in sharing the ridiculous things that happened and building a community of moms who got it. What I didn't anticipate was how many non-moms would enjoy my comic too!
Although I still create some word-for-word comics from things that happened in real life, I consider the Cat Family to be their own “people” and hope to keep being able to draw their adventures even as my own kids grow.

Exactly. As long as you hear them it's fine. You know they are busy playing and you can continue with whatever you are doing. Silence is no good - drop everything and check on them. One example of why you get that super hearing as a parent with small kids...
That's EXACTLY how it is too... when my 7 yr old is too quiet, I'm in trouble lol.... and usually so is he lol!
Oh no. Someone has got they’re eyes on the tv with a cricket bat in their hands.
'When Billy is with a girl, they make happy screams.' OH THE FLASHBACKS TO SEASON 3 FLASHBACKS
Ha ha! This happened to my Aunt just yesterday. I was playing with my nieces and nephews while my aunt was in the kitchen. The kids and I were being really noisy because we were talking about Santa Clause and why no one has REALLY seen him. Then we switched to scary stories and I began telling them about a creepy episode of The Twilight Zone. The kids are listening to me and they are riveted and quiet. My aunt notices and comes into the room with a worried expression on her face. But after she sees that I'm telling a story and she goes back into the kitchen with a look of relief.
Too true. Once you become a parent silence goes from golden to ominous.
The "Joys of Motherhood" are pushed so hard that you can't help but feel like you're the problem when you don't spontaneously feel it.
I'd been a cartoonist since I was little, inspired by the greats such as Garfield, The Simpsons and Invader Zim and I desperately wanted to use my art to reach out to moms that might feel the same way. I already followed the fantastic Fowl Language and Hedger Humor and thought, "Maybe I could do a webcomic too?" The reactions to my first comics were very positive and I gained followers quickly - I knew I was onto something!
People ask if it's odd having strangers peek in on our lives. It probably would be if they were drawn to look like us, but having them as cats really helps! They're based on us, but I consider them their own "people" with exaggerated cartoon lives. They are meant to be ridiculous and often wrong, so if people react strongly, then I know I'm doing my job.
The biggest thing I'd like people to take away from my comics is that it's OK to not be OK. Nobody is perfect and the best thing you can do is not take yourself too seriously.
I've got a couple of new projects in the works. The first is a Patreon-exclusive comic following the Dog Family! Those comics are only released monthly, but they can’t be seen anywhere else! The other one is a compilation book of my comics, with a bunch of extra stuff drawn and written by me. I'm still working on that one, so it won't be in the shops until '23, but I'm very excited about it!
If you missed the previous parts of my comic, you can find them here, here, here, here, here, here and here.
I don’t like pineapple on pizza but I still think if people like it, it deserves to be there

Kids can insult your greatest insecurities five minutes after meeting you lol

Load More Replies...I adore LitterBox comics-- I have been following them on Instagram! I think that they are so incredibly cute and are enjoyable irregardless of whether you are partner or grew up having siblings. Also, please stop with the absolute needless censorship, BoredPanda. It is so incredibly hypocritical and you end of ruining the artists' original work.
