There’s no wrong way to make cat art.
Be as literal or figurative as you like.

This is your chance to explore the curious, chaotic, mysterious, and magical world of Cats. Whether you're capturing a feline form, channeling cat-like energy, or just letting your imagination chase something strange and elusive, this is a space to play, stretch, and pounce.

All mediums welcome.
All interpretations encouraged. 
We can’t wait to see what the cat drags in.
