If by some strange happenstance you have never before seen a Kliban cat drawing, you will instantly recognize that each and every one of them captures the essence of…. cat. A well-established illustrator and cartoonist (Playboy, The New Yorker, Never Eat Anything Bigger Than Your Head, et al) B. Kliban used to devote off-moments in his studio to drawing his felines Nitty, Norton, Burton Rustle and Noko Marie the Snake. An editor friend saw this work and convinced Kliban to let her take it publishers, and in 1975 Workman published CAT, a huge bestseller which inspired an outbreak of cat love that has not abated to this day. That groundbreaking book was followed by more books, and more drawings, which manifested on calendars, cards, mugs, ceramics, clothing – almost 9,000 unique items to date. And the book that started it all is still in print. Cat people of the world, rejoice -- and savor the twice-a-week pleasure of KLIBAN’S CATS.
Comic is updated on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

I used that line with my wife when we were dating and that’s when I found out she had never heard of Kliban
I promptly dug a few cartoon collections out and shared, she’s as much of a cat lover as I am
I am proud to say she can now identify when a cat is posing as a meatloaf

Oh, c’mon everyone.. If you squint a little, you can see an owl in the moon. Woody157 is just using his imagination. Quit jumping on people, play nice!

…now THAT’S love. My old cats were ALWAYS sharing their dead mice/rats/birds/whatever with me…

" Love to eat them mousies, mousies what I love to eat, Bite they tiny heads off, nibble on they tiny feet." I like the cat in the moon too.

’s)
