Baby’s first zine participation!! It was an absolute honour to be invited on as guest artist and been given the chance to work with some of the community’s most talented creatives in the @namingofcatszine ! This was definitely one of if not the most ambitious pieces I’ve ever attempted over the course of a few months in 2023 but I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone and create something I can truly be proud of. Thank you so much to all the mods, artists, writers for their incredible efforts and of course the unwavering support of the Cats community for making this happen 🫶 it has been an amazing experience from the beginning until the end 🥹

Fun fact

Did you know that Maine Coons wag their tails much more often than other breeds? They wag their tails quite a bit not only when they are angry, but also when they are happy, excited or just calm.

I just know that when Old Deuteronomy arrives, both munkustrap and tugger are a mess of wagging tails.

and that's a wrap on Jellicle January. thank you sm @jellyfuljellicle for making the prompt list!! I think drawing so many cats has made me feel much more comfortable with tackling the mental obsticle course of transliterating those whacky costumes

today is the day of Old Deut.......a bittersweet note to end on. </3 I could think of no better way than to draw what is always, across all productions of cats, my favorite moment in the musical. warms my stone cold heart every time!

RIP Ken Page <3 <3 <3

Brush my hair

Read my lines

It’s time to go

Wear my suit

Put the make up on

Put on a show

Up, up, up, to the Heaviside layer

Up, up, up, I'm going straight up

Take my lunch Lose my lunch It's a shaky start

I'm old Deut

Now he's old Deut

I've lost the part

Down, down, down, to the center of the Earth

Down, down, down, I'm going straight down

old deuteronomy has learned that human fathers are oftentimes "out for milk". unwilling to shirk this duty, he too sets out for the closest catvenience store to make sure none of his 467 children are left milkless.

Been writing my senior project about the evolution of Cats and it reminded me that I love this silly musical so much… but I’ve never drawn them b4. Changing this NEOW.

Still can't believe Ken Page has passed away. He will always be Old Deuteronomy to me, and I feel like I'm kind of numb but also sad at the same time. Rewatching the '98 film is going to feel very different now, especially during his song.

Thank you, Ken Page, for giving us and so many people so many moments of happiness, may you rest in peace.

Ken Page truly was the quintessential Old Deuteronomy. His portrayal of the character was so warm and loving, and his voice fit the role in the most beautiful way possible. He will always be one of the most iconic Cats actors and Broadway actors. He’s going to be so so missed, may he rest in peace.

I drew this because I find it funny how everyone else is just raising their arms except mistoffelees who has to be completely straight and with his arms stretched out completely above LOL

The silly picture:

Hello goofy paws of old deutoronomy

I just realized I never posted the CATS zine I made back in 2020! I've had the CATS brainrot since like uhhhhhhh 1998? I know all the deep CATS lore.
