Amelia’s cute drawings are quite popular on the internet. More than 82,600 people follow her Instagram account, and another 1,000+ cat lovers eagerly wait for her newest art pieces on Facebook. Watercolor’s newest drawing (at the time of writing) is of an internet-famous cat with fruits on its paws; it got more than 17,700 likes on Instagram.
The artist’s illustrations are incredibly pleasant to look at. This might have something to do with how ‘clean’ her drawings look, and the warm color palette that she uses for her cute cats.
it’s a very rare kiwi cat....an extremely cute endangered species...
Amelia’s rise to fame has everything to do with her drawing style and the fact that she redraws well (and lesser) known memes. But why is it that funny cat memes draw in so many diverse people from radically different backgrounds?

Mashable cites the co-founder of Know Your Meme, Elspeth Rountree, according to whom images of funny cats have always been popular, far before the advent of the internet.
"They're the perfect distraction from our hectic lives. You don't need any explanation or prior knowledge to understand the slapstick humor that animals provide. Cat videos and images are a quick hit of pure, unfettered 'cute.' They're also entertainment in easily digestible doses," Rountree stated about famous cats in the age of the internet.
Cats bring a mix of cuteness, danger, expressiveness, and liveliness very few other animals can even begin to compare to. That’s why so many people choose to keep them as pets; and the more people have cats as pets, the more meme-potential there exists. Which means that Amelia the artist will probably never run out of cats to redraw.
If a Cat does that there may be something wrong, if they do it a lot get them checked out by a Vet.
There is something wrong with my new cardboard box Human Mommy. Well, never mind, I’m still going in. I love my cardboard boxes sooo much. Meow!
Sooo, I hope it's not a poop scoop but why would you put it on cat's face?
Same. She has talent but the original pictures had more life to them.
Load More Replies...These were cute. However, obesity in cats = short lifespan, liver disease, cancer, and much more. If you care about your cat, find out how much food they need, and spend time playing with them. Give them toys to play with. We haven't bought toys for ours... just crumpled up junk mail and store receipts, which they love. An active cat is (usually) a healthy cat. Oh! Stay away from colorful store food. It's unhealthy. Cats don't care what color it is, as long as the main ingredient is meat.
Hello whatever, your commit is the best. Poor little souls that are drowning in their fat.
Load More Replies...The drawings are good but no-where near as cute as the real life Kitties!!!!
I like that these paintings remove irrelevant background and formalize the image as iconic.
I could look at on every day for a year. Hey..think about making a yearly calendar and see if you can pick up a few extra dollars!!
I wanted to comment a picture of my silly cat, but the camera button won’t work 😢😢
