    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.

    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.

    Here the real cat is cuter! We can expect easily things like that (or the blue thing in the other pic, the hat-lettuce) in comics, but no as much in reality. Good paintures anyway :)

    Did you know that if you plant a pineapple top, it will grow? (at least that's what they say; mine just rotted.)

    Don't do this to cats or any animals. The feeling of restriction will stress them out.
