Mistigram: is this #ASCIIart kitten simply cavorting with an #emoji ball of yarn on the rug, or are they actively unravelling the carpet? I think the 'busted' expression on its face speaks volumes. This piece by lockja was included in last month's #cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection.

Mistigram: in the first decade of this new century, Cute Overload and I Can Has Cheezburger? testified to the self-evident truth that the Internet was, on a fundamental level, for sharing funny cat-related content, and all other applications for it were kind of secondary. From this milieu emerged Jason "Textfiles" Scott's cat Sockington, who over the course of a decade accumulated over a million Twitter followers. Though Socks died in 2022, a good cat is never forgotten, so when Cthulu was coming up with the short list of celebrated cats to enshrine in #ANSIart in last month's #cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection, this hep cat invariably stalked its way to the top of the pile. LDA and Moth assisted in locking down this adaptation of a 2009 t-shirt design originally by Megan Hopkins and R. Stevens.

Mistigram: Moth began drawing an #ANSIart sketch of Odd from Code Lyoko, then made a critical error and left the piece up on our networked Moebius server for others to add to. Zeus II swooped in, kept the pose and took the WIP in a wildly divergent direction with help from LDA. This piece was included in the recent #cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection.

Mistigram: nostalgia can move a reasonable person to do strange things. Case in point -- for the recent #cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection, Cthulu tried to think of famous cats from the '90s, when #ANSIart was king, and reproduce them in that element for resonance synergy. This is why he for some reason thought it would be a good idea to draw the rear cover art to the 1991 album by Paula Abdul's "Opposites Attract" dance partner, #MCSkatKat, a real Poochie of a mascot.

Mistigram: Zeus II's #ANSIart portrait of Red Sonja is either highly expressionistic, or he had just partaken in some of those excellent red-capped Swedish forest toadstools before hunkering down to do a highly realistic portrait of his pet, who may or may not be experiencing an extreme catnip trip here. This piece was included in the new #cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection.

Mistigram: As part of the feline parade offered up in the new cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection, consolejockey provided this #ANSIart portrait of their #cat companion Ivy.

Mistigram: what, you've never seen a cat getting tattooed before? Where do you think tiger stripes come from anyway, huh? This whimsical #ASCIIart scene by Mozz was included in the new cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection.

Mistigram: thegreenherring drew this #ANSIart tribute to the unnamed feline potagonist of Konami's 1988 arcade game #KittenKaboodle for our new cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection.

Mistigram: here we are, #InternationalCatDay and ... I'm late for lunch! Fortunately, Mozz has packed along a little something extra to share. This #ASCIIart illustration was included in the new cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection.

Mistigram: in unixlikes, the command 'cat' outputs the contents of a file to the screen. In this case the file was a (#PETSCII) #ASCIIart illustration of a cat, so the artist littlebitspace needed to 'cat cat'. This recursive piece was included in the new cat-themed MIST0725 artpack.
