Corina started with Tales from the Litter Box as a little personal project about a year ago and it has become a weekly routine for her and an experiment for everyone willing to watch (even for the cats, whose active participation at messing inks has been recorded). 

She promised it would be something to release her hand and brain from her daily projects as an illustrator, away from the tablet, computer, specs... But after a while she was so thorough she homogenized the format and even designed several functional fonts for it (freak control? NEVER! *See, honey? I can be trained, just like our tribe of monsters*). You will hear her laughing out loud quite often while thinking of jokes and painting, so it's very cute. Add a cat on her lap or blocking her work at the table with the weird dog at her feet, and the result will be unbeatably adorable. Even if they spoil an ink or two. Or ten...

She has painted +200 inks already and this is a little tribute to her terrific work converting our journey with our furry family into charming and brilliant vignettes (and even commissioned books). Please, convince her to give her inky cats even more attention. Her fans are all eager to see this getting out of control but somehow she's happy with her compounded audience.

I know you'll enjoy Tales from the Litter Box by Corina Alvarez Loeblich as much as I do!

    My two girls have never done that. They don't like boxes, catnip, or their own beds. They prefer the pillow next to mine with their butts in my face. Nice. They don't really have time or the need to play. Maezy loves to "rassle" and is pretty good about not scratching, but she will punch me., or grab me as I walk by. They are very polite in the mornings, and usually wait patiently until they hear my breathing switch from sleep mode to awake mode - finally, and stare at me intensely until I roll out of bed. Yay - breakfast finally !!

    "Read between the lions" Bwahahaha, that's a good one. :))) Even my blind cat (who was never able to see) places himself in front of the telly. And he comes running if I hold something with a speaker in my hand. Then he will instantly sit on my lap, purr as loud as possible and tries to catch as much attention as he can. Our other cat enjoys to watch snooker with us. We just have to make sure he doesn't try to jump against the tv set to fetch some of the funny little balls. lol

    for some reason Corina can't see your comment, but there's a why: she HATES roaches. This is the second one she paints in her entire career and she rather not do that ever again! But she fostered a kitty one time that will give her a giant roach every night, sometimes inside her slippers. "Thank you kitty, very sweet but no, thanks". But yes, she totally agrees it needs more roaches, but no thanks LOL

    She can't really mean "trust." Does anyone pick a babysitter, gynecologist, dentist, sushi bar, lawyer or credit union based on "pet history?" I think this artist may have just used the wrong terms.

    Hello, here's the illustrator and I want to comment this one: Ruby, the sweet girl on this ink, is very special to me. She have two sisters, Stella (the dog) and Dot (the grumpy kitty at the bottom), but she got in love of Maya (down syndrome kitty) and Dragon (paralized black kitty). Ry has a very rare genetic condition called Stromme Syndrome and there's only 13 people living today with it. So it's something of awareness and to reunite all this fancy group on an ink, which Ruby, her family and Maya's family loved. Go and find her, she's exquisite! And the quote (which I don't usually chose to use) is from Ursula K. Le Guin: to be hole is to be part. We boost our selves with the right surroundings and beings, we're better together. If you find about their stories indivitually, you will be amazed of the beautiful chain of MARVELOUS people working to make this Planet a better place. p.s.: sorry for the long text!

    We had cats for. 20 years. When they passed, we got a dog. The cats wanted to sit under the tree, and the dog? Well he loved to get his stocking! One of us would hold it, and he’d pull the toys and snacks out, and he enjoyed it, and had so much fun! We’d repack it and do it again!
