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...

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!

    This was in a parenting tweet about a year ago, I love that it's been turned into a comic.

    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!

    I think my children are the least safe at home under my faulty supervision. Also, I'd like to point out how unfair it is that there weren't any of these superfun places for children when I was a kid. I'd like to talk to the manager of the world and leave a formal complaint

    I don’t like pineapple on pizza but I still think if people like it, it deserves to be there

    When I was in Germany, they put squid on my pizza. Pineapple seemed so "normal" after that.

    Wow. I put chicken, pineapple, and bbq sauce on pizza. (And red onion) it's kind of like a teriyaki pizza. It's delicious. Anyway what I'm saying is... Is that why there's an unmarked van parked outside my house?

    Daddy's taste in pizza is an indication that he needs medical help... though I agree chicken is a lame topping. At least it isnt absolutely vile like pineapple.

    Pineapple on pizza works. Italian sausage, pineapple, onion, jalapeño. Try my sweet and spicy pizza.

    I hate pineapple on pizza. But if I wanted sweet and spicy, I would love to replace the pineapple with loganisa sausages. Im not even Filipino btw... speaking of which, you pizza store people should make logsniss sausage a topping, that would be dope.
