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.

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!
Based on this tweet by @elspells13.
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
Thank god I chose to adopt instead. Honestly, I can’t handle pain, and the amount of s**t that has gotten me is crazy

It's like someone is trying to break out of your uterus using heavy equipment
I am laughing so hard.I had a friend ages ago on her first child ask this,and I didn't want to scare her ( she was already anxious) so I told it hurt like when you stub your toe real hard but the pain doesn't last long.The first thing she did when I seen her afterward was punch me in the arm and yell "you lied to me."oops.
Something ripping your organs out and breaking you back and hip. That is what it feels like
The "moment of your life" part comes 1-5 minutes after baby is out (assuming all goes well of course).
Like your body is trying to poop out all your organs. All at once.
Maybe throw in the pressure of a watermelon along with some intense burning... and 💩... Yep, I'm good! Lol...
My Mom said my birthday would be a day earlier if I didn't take 6 hours
Although being able to use the bathroom again after the baby is born is quite a relief. On my second pregnancy right now.
Birth is painful as hell and you'll end up thinking you can't go through with it because you fear you will break in two. But that's pretty much the moment you're gonna start pushing anyways and then it'll be over soon-ish. This is my experince with 2 of 3 births. The third was acute c-section and not at all like the first 2. The 2nd birth was without any pain control because I only got to the birthing room 6min before I had my girl in my arms. Natural birth with no pain control was waaaay better than c-section.
That depends. My mom was immediately scheduled for a C-section but my sister had to go through hours of labor before doc decided C-section needed. I went through a lot of hours of labor with my doc deciding minute to minute whether one was necessary. He didn't end up doing a C-section but it was a near thing after an entire labor. Then the C-section itself is just as bad, just different... As I've heard from women that did both. C-section itself is painless but the recovery isn't fun.

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.
