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!

I would happily listen to the best serenades, so long as the performance is on a weekend.
no weekend, all week. Cats doesn't work that way XD
Load More Replies...Reminds me of the scene in Aristocats where Thomas O'Malley is jamming out with his buds.
a scene repeating all over the world in every alley and roof LOL!
Load More Replies...with friends, so we can annoy you even more
Load More Replies...Omg my neighbors dog does this. Lucky for her, she’s adorable 😂
don't trust Cornbread (cute name!). I'm lying, our cats does that too: they are marking us all!
Load More Replies...And the ones that do this immediately after eating are just conditioning us!
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 !!
Mi gato hace eso, pero luego de comer lo vuelve a hacer agradecido! Xq #lambusio siempre 💖😂😂😂
I am deaf and need captions turned on my TV. My two cats parked in front of the TV, blocking my view of the captions on right and left. My boyfriend said I need to learn to read between the lions... oof!
"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
Load More Replies...Look I know you can see me now that I'm in front of this flashy thing, now it's time to sit right where you are looking. Here or here or here. It's okay I don't mind moving like you are.
So much fun...been following her for years...you can really relate to your own cat life
Just watching them sleeping peacefully is therapy. Always catch myself with a big grin on my face. :)))
Load More Replies...for nice people like you to find typos, you're actually the first one who mentioned it. TY!
Load More Replies...Absolutely adore these cartoons!!! This one perfectly illustrated the bliss of relaxing surrounded by animal friends
Points out the h. Misses the glorious point. Could probably benefit from psychoanalysis.
Like on people who miss the loveliness of your work and pont out the h....wait or obsess on that...Stopping that in 3..2...grrr...Now. Self checked. Being on the next!
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
Load More Replies...A lemon! One of mine played with that. They'll make a toy out of anything.
exactly! one of our cats stole underwear until we had to hide every piece. Then she started to steal jeans XD
Load More Replies...every piece of furtinure, actually. I'm always so scared to move them..! Sorry!
Load More Replies...Not strictly true. A person may have never owned a pet due to no choice of their own - Parents did'not want, accomodation restrictions, work commitments etc.
you're right. But then you grow up and have 10 cats and recover the lost time ;)
Load More Replies...you mean like your president. When moving to DC he told Mike Pence he was "low class" for having pets.
He's not my president, thank the gods (old and new)
Load More Replies...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!
Ruby is one of the cutest little things on Instagram! And Maya and the rest of the bunch ALSO!
Load More Replies...This is the most beautiful and meaningful Ink that I have ever seen 🙏💖💖💖💖💖💖😍
thank you very much! It was very emotive to everyone involved when we released this ink. People crying all over the world. I blame de hormones
Load More Replies...ROFLMAO That's actually a portrait she did of me with one of our cats. It's just like that, ALWAYS
Load More Replies...Cat: you're doing it wrong! Me: can you do better? Cat: No, but I would make somebody else do the work.
No matter what I do, there he is. I swear I have heard him mutter "tsk,tsk,tsk" under his breath.
I also have a Siamese, an elderly girl named Mixa. She's my alarm clock. She purrs and rubs her whiskers against my face every morning... When I scratch and try to get some more sleep, she ever so gently pokes me with her freezing wet nose. It's very adorable torture.
she sounds so gentle and sweet! We have a grandma as sof as yours, but then, the youngest one... he could kill you in order to wake you up, the little bastard!
Load More Replies...No, no, no, no, no, no, no! It is their house too... I live with 5, i'm used to it now, lol!
re-interpretation: you pay the bills, but it's all about their rules LOL
Load More Replies...I have a Christmas tree because of the cat. Brings me amusement watching him attack it
Load More Replies...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!
maybe because they are immaculate beings? They spend the entire day grooming, so a spotless place to rest seems quite logic!
Load More Replies...My cat tends to pee on clean bed sheets...She is a tidy cat otherwise..But i have to watch her when she is around my bed..
She sells the files ;) (impossible to sell prints because of postal service costs down here, but some ppl at the UK are thinking about that)
Load More Replies...Jajajajaja mis planos arquitectónicos horas antes de la entrega 😂😂😂😂🤦
Have no idea how creative they are by ruin Corina's work! I'm glad she laughs about it: I wouln't!
Load More Replies...Cat's education is pretty easy. It doesn't take more than a week until the cat educated you. 😂
Cats are demented, they do not recognize personal space and if they do they just don't care.
My mother had to cover the windows to prevent fighting through the window x) (she has 4 cats at home)
yup, that's exactly the meaning of this ink (not only not spayed pets around the neighbor). Some get very well while some others might need curtains
Load More Replies...Cat pee is the second worse smell in the world. Skunk spray is the worst.
Los novios callejeros de Misha le hacían eso a Kenshin en Maracaibo 🤦
I want a doormat with this one on it. Much more appropriate than one of those "Welcome" mats. :)
I know exactly how this feels. But I unconditionally still love my 4 cats (Momo, Carl, Cornbread, and Freddie). All cats in general are the greatest!!!
exactly our feeling about our furry family!
Load More Replies...I find very hard to pick a favorite. The gestures, the expressions... I want to see more. Love the colors, the captions, the situations... too much laugh. Too much accuracy.
You can see more than 200 inks on her Instagram and Facebook! Thank you so very much for stoping by and observe her work! IT IS really accurate, right??
Load More Replies...THESE ARE AMAZING! It's like every single one was drawn about my cat pack! Thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you, darling, I'm glad you liked them!
Load More Replies...i love her style, very accurate and anyone who's got a cat can see the accuracy on their portrayed expressions and bodies. very accurate. love the coloring and the panel framing. really nice job!
Since I am violently allergic to cats now. I have Rabbits and sometimes they act very cat-like and other times very dog like, but altogether they are all furry family. (love my Athena and Moya, soon to be adding Pepper to the fur family)
Rabbits are adorable and have GREAT personalities! I love rodents in general, they are so clever and sensitive!
Load More Replies...so much truth and accuracy can't stop laughing the style is also really beautiful
