ChunkyMonkey by Amina Illustration

I'm so in awe of talented artists who can depict cats and gardens in all their glory.  
Amina is an illustrator who truly knows both of these topics and the Instagram Reel linked below shows her process in creating a commissioned piece of two internet-famous cats -- @kingchunky_spymonkey and @chunkytheclotho. I think my favorite part of the video is seeing her own orange cat watching her paint from a nearby windowsill full of plants.

In her bio, she says, "I am inspired by plants and nature as a whole, and try to inject it into my life and my art as much as I can ! My strengths lie in traditional art, portraiture, narrative illustration, and spoiling my cat."

BTW, postcards and prints of "ChunkyMonkey" are available from just $6!

This fiesty orange cat on a jade plant was shared on TikTok by Olga Omelianska. Commenters are going nuts pointing out the cuteness of the cat and the strength of this jade plant to put up with this abuse! My jade plants fall apart at the slightest touch, this one is a champion! They also point out that the flowerpot itself must be somehow affixed to the window shelf as it would normally have all come tumbling down at the first cat leap onto the plant.
