Excuse The Mess...

I'm really excited about this blog. So far, it's garnered more attention than I originally thought it would.

With that, I have to say, please excuse the mess so far. There's still lots of work to be done. I want to create a logo, a header and a banner; not to mention, create more funny comics that stays within the scope of Cat's Patack.Of those, 3 are in the works even though my wedding is less than a month away.

Thanks for your patience!

What is that?


When I brought Akito home to Sesshoumaru and Kuja.

....actually, Akito was a feral kitten who was caught with a rat trap. I rescued him and he lived in my bathroom, like a Gremlin, for 2 weeks until he was fully vaccinated, recovered and cleaned. He was horribly malunourished and had round worms. The vet told me that a week later he would have died.
It's so amazing to look at Akito and know that I saved his life.

...that's just gross.

Sesshoumaru vomits. And eats his vomit.

MINE!

One of my bestest friend's cats, Char and Sakura. Sakura likes to lay on the food so Char can't eat any.

I was so tired drawing this comic. I promise to do another, much better, comic of the two cats.

I Think He's Still Bitter...


AAs I've said before, Sesshoumaru vomits a lot. At this time, I thought it might have been his esophagus which lead to this comic.

(For those wondering, after many visits to the vet, new diet, tests, treatments...they still don't know why he vomits so much. I had to stop because x-rays are very expensive and I had started collecting medical bills of my own....)

That's My Bed

My friend gave me her cat's old bed because her cat never used it. 
The bed was BRIGHT pink with big blue bows and a rainbow lining. It was quite...bright. 

And my cats fought over it. And urinated on it. It was so bad I had to toss the bed in the trash. Sesshoumaru dragged the pink urine-crusted bed back out and laid in it. So then it went into the dumpster (not Sesshoumaru, but the bed). 

Go To Hell or Heck?



This was just an excuse to draw my sister's cat, Oreo.
Kuja and Oreo used to live together actually. And when Kuja was an kitten, Oreo spent the first 2 weeks trying to kill her. And eat her. After that, he protected her and would attack anyone that tried to harm her.

But, I'm more vulgar than my older sister, so our cats kind of reflect this mannerism...

To The Pet Store We Go!

This one was sloppily done...but I didn't like the style at all, so this is the last sloppy comic.

This is my cat's reaction when I put them on leashes. Kuja is a ball of fury and Sesshoumaru's bones melts.

I'm Trying to Throw Up Here...

Sesshoumaru throws up. A lot.

Sometimes he will try to vomit on my desk, which has all of my expensive equipment. I panic and throw him to the floor. Or push him off.

Hello






I'm sure those would be the words they would say to each other.

Kuja is not a very nice kitty.

Greeting

This is the beginning of  my comic that I have no decided to publish via a blog.

I started Cat's Patack years ago --about halfway through college-- just to explore and learn more about Photoshop and fonts. My teacher had installed a love of fonts in me and I wanted an excuse to use various fonts. 


At the time, I was very lonely. I lived by myself in the ghetto with 2 (later 3) cats. Those cats were my companions. I talked to them like they were people. And I earned my label as the Crazy Cat Lady! But, as any pet owner would know, pets have such a strong personality and character that events would occur that I felt would need to be shared. Not just any events, but hilarious events.

As you will see, most of my comics are true. They are based off real life incidents.

So with that, enjoy.
