comics with a feline twist, I depict my experiences as a contemporary parent

I’m Chesca Hause, also known online as “Cat Mom.” I may not be the best mother in the world, but I’m doing okay, and I find it quite funny when people have defects, especially when it comes to my own. I believe this is the reason why Litterbox Comics has a million followers across several platforms: people like laughing at life’s chaos together!

I began the comic four years ago because I struggled with motherhood. I took solace in telling others the absurd things that occurred and creating a group of moms who understood. I didn’t realize how about many people who weren’t mothers would also love my comic!

Even while I still do some word-for-word comics based on actual events, I consider the Cat Family to be their own “people,” and I hope to be able to continue drawing their exploits as my own children get older.

If you don’t naturally experience the “Joys of Motherhood,” you can’t help but feel like you’re the problem.

Since I was a little child, I’d been drawing cartoons and was much influenced by masters like Garfield, The Simpsons, and Invader Zim. I yearned to utilize my art to connect with other moms who might share the same sentiments. I was a fan of Fowl Language and Hedger Humor previously, so I wondered, “Maybe I could write a webcomic too?” My early comics received overwhelmingly great feedback, and I quickly grew a following, so I thought I was onto something.

People enquire as to whether it is strange for outsiders to view our lives. If they were depicted as us, it certainly would be, but putting them as cats actually helps! Although they are modeled after us, I still regard them as distinct “people” with exaggerated cartoon lives. If individuals have strong reactions, even though they are often absurd and incorrect, then I know I’ve done my job.

The main lesson I want readers to take away from my comics is that it’s acceptable to experience discomfort. The best course of action is to not take oneself too seriously because nobody is perfect.

I’m working on a few brand-new projects. The first is a Dog Family comic that is only available on Patreon! Those comics are only published once a month and are exclusive to our site! The other is a collection of my comics that also includes a ton of my own original writing and drawing. That one won’t hit the shelves until ’23 because I’m currently working on it, but I can’t wait!
