Cat illustrators on Instagram

January 25, 2024 9:54 AM

Looking for your favorite illustrators who specialize in cats. Bonus if they’re funny/witty/whimsical.

I don’t want to put my thumb on the scales too much but my current fave is bunnydee. Similar style is good, but so are different styles, including Lucy Knisley-style narrative comic strips. I won’t know what I’m looking for until I find it so just tell me your faves! Self-linking also seems like it would be wholly appropriate here. (Instagram is preferred but other portfolios are okay.)

bunnydee's work looks so familiar!

In my initial sweep, I found these, which definitely lean whimsical.

Lim Heng Swee - not exclusively cats, but overwhelmingly, and definitely witty and whimsical.
