My previous comic was about us buying a new sofa, sorry, cat bed and how pleased we were. However, it should be mentioned that where the curvature of the left arm meets a shelving unit, it creates another area for Tali to hide in. And when I can’t find her, I immediately think the worst…

We recently bought a new sofa after the old one barely lasted a year of being sat on (that teaches us for buying a cheap sofa…) which can only mean one thing; Tali has something else to sleep on and hog with her elongated sleeping habits.

I am a huge fan of the Metal Gear Solid series so it was high time that I made a What If? cat of the games’ protagonist, Solid Snake. And it gets better. Solid Snake, or Solid Moggy, joins six other brand new What If? cats and five of my favourites to make an A4 poster which I’ll be selling tomorrow and Sunday at London’s MCM Expo. After that, the posters will be available to buy from my shop.

This Saturday and Sunday I’ll be at the London MCM Expo, a place for all things comics, films, sci-fi, anime, video games and, I expect, a lot of cosplaying! My usual items will be on sale (you know, my mini comic Goodbye Kitty, the Best of Eat, Sleep, Sniff volume 1 etc,) but I’ll also have some new prints and an A4 poster of a few old and new What If? cats too.

If you’re in or around London, come and say hi! There is a wealth of talent in the Comic Village and for all the details as to which celebs will be making an appearance, take a look at the official site.

I only found out this morning that, apparently, today is World Goth Day so I thought I’d quickly knock up a What If? cat for probably the most famous goth in the world of movies. The cliché moodiness of this particular goth is somewhat cancelled out due to his cuteness but still, he’s a goth nonetheless!

As it’s the start of National Vegetarian Week I thought I’d share what happens when Tali eats her greens. We bought her one of the indoor cat grass boxes since cats like to chomp on grass and initially she loved it. But we were quickly reminded why cats eat grass in the first place…

Question time! Gekkeijuleaves asked:

Don’t suppose you’ve considered making t-shirts at all have you? I’d definitely be interested :D

I have toyed with the idea and started looking at suppliers but the whole thing can become a bit of a nightmare very quickly! That’s not to say I wouldn’t so it’s worth getting on contact via email and I can investigate the possibility of one-offs or something. Thanks for your question!

If you want to ask me anything, email or click the Ask button in the top navigation. I have been a bit slack at answering questions, so I apologise for that but aiming to get tackle a few more in the coming weeks.

Every couple of years, Cats Protection has their (newly renamed) National Cat Awards where owners nominate a particular feline who has gone above and beyond the usual duties of being the family pet. With such grand stories that get sent in, I sometimes forget Tali’s exceptional skill; saving my wussy butt from spiders!

I’m not sure if spider-catcher is a category in the National Cat Awards but you can find more out about them by visiting the official site.

Tali was ever vocal this weekend which isn’t usually an issue but I’ve been a bit sickly recently so the sound of her meows weren’t as pleasant as they normally are. I did ask her to keep it down however I think this just made her meow even louder.

Trying to discipline Tali is a bit of a pointless task. Wagging a finger in her face to show authority never has the same effect when she rubs her cheek against it.

I hope you’re all having a nice Bank Holiday now that the weather has momentarily dried up. And if you’re not in the UK, I hope you’re having a nice Monday! My day will probably be spent doing some work then annoying Tali by calling her name every time she falls asleep. Which is a lot. Hey, fair is fair, she does something similar to me! Though I probably should get a better hobby…

Today is May the 4th which, of course, means it’s Star Wars day where all nerds, geeks and enthusiasts celebrate a beloved sci-fi classic by telling everyone “May the 4th be with you.” I’m certainly no exception and give to you Boba Katt, a cute but ruthless bounty hunter. Happy Star Wars day!

Tali can sleep for hours like any good cat but when she does so on my lap, that can be problematic. Not because I don’t want her there but when I do need to move she looks at me with a pitiful stare, making me feel incredibly guilty for disturbing her. The only solution is to then sit a bit longer, granting Tali her wish. Crafty moggy.

I bought some new shoes recently and for some reason, Tali is absolutely infatuated with them. I’m often catching her rubbing her face on them like a lunatic, purring excitedly as if whispering sweet nothings into its faux-leathery ear.

I’ve had a jump in followers recently so I just wanted to say welcome to Eat, Sleep, Sniff! Feel free to get involved by asking me anything as I aim to answer what I can do on Fridays.

And to all my existing followers I thank you for your support :)

Tali has got into the habit of sleeping on one of our cushions that sits atop a bean bag and does so with her back to us. But she’s so lazy that she won’t even turn around to look at us and instead flops backwards to meet our gaze upside down. Ridiculously cute but oh so lazy.

I’ve been working on a project for Cats Protection recently that required me to draw some random kitties and since the last couple of posts have been quite heavy on the promotional front (remember, I’ll be at Comica tomorrow so come say hi!), I thought it would be fun to upload what I’ve done so far. I do like the miffed looking cat on the bottom left!

Wed, 18 Apr 2012 12:37:27 +0100

Continuing my celebrations for the upcoming launch of Goodbye Kitty, my new mini comic, I’ve posted the first three pages to give you an idea of what it’s all about. The story was inspired by a letter from a young girl who had gone through some tough times and I guess you could say Goodbye Kitty is my personal response to her letter.

Goodbye Kitty is debuting at Comica Comiket this Saturday and then will be available from my shop next week. Do pick up a copy! Only 200 have been printed and they’re all numbered too. I’ve poured many hours into it and rather chuffed at its outcome so if you are going to Comica this Saturday, come and say hi and if not, stay tuned for an update to my shop.
