Talented young artist, Hannah Hillam is definitely a cat mom. Her comic-style drawings of daily life with felines are far too real to be fabricated by a non-cat person.

Through her clever kitty comics, Hillam reminds us to laugh even when we feel like crying (like when the cat wakes us up at 5 A.M). To get a daily dose of wit and cat-sass, follow her on Instagram!
