Cat Hoarder



This week's topic for Illustration Friday, Hoard. The other day I saw a story about an animal hoarder who was arrested for having like 150 cats in her home....I'm not kidding. They mean well....but normally dont have the means to take care of all the animals....like 150 cats! Its usually related to OCD, addiction or dementia. Although Wikipedia tells me that cat hoarding might be related to the Toxoplasma gondii parasite, which render the infected host attracted to cats....Interesting. Anyways, I didn't feel like drawing a bunch of dead cats for this topic, so I tried to keep it a little lighter! Thanks!

The illo of the cat lady was very cool, and not showing any dead cats was a good decision. Just wondering does she have a cat stuck in her hair, or is it something else. Very funny, especially the background, well done.
