Cat memes are funny on their own, but who could have thought that redrawn cat memes could be even better? Well, Emily, an illustrator living in Cambridge, MA, does exactly that, and oh boy, her artworks shared on "Catwheezie" never disappoint.

Besides bringing our attention to hilarious cat images shared online, Emily transforms them into vibrant, captivating digital paintings. Previously, Emily shared how it all began: “The project started when I decided to draw a cat every day until I was able to adopt one myself. For a while, I imagined I might be drawing cats forever, doomed to never adopt one. Magically, things fell into place, and on day 21, my family and I adopted Beanie, a two-month-old rescue kitten.” 

Nowadays, "Catwheezie" has a devoted cat lover audience of 131K on Instagram, collecting thousands of likes on Emily's recreations.

Finding your own style takes time and experimenting. Previously Emily shared that before she found her artistic voice, she played with super cartoony cats. Now, her drawings are more realistic than cartoonish but still have a vibrant personality. The artist shared: "It's fun to see how my art has evolved and how I've honed my skills over time."

    Experimenting might include exploring other styles and artists, thus creating inspiration boards. Artists also tend to analyze different tools and mediums. But what really helps to grow as an illustrator is sketching, trying to do better, failing, and starting it all over again.

    This reminds me of my cat Maximus - he LOVED any bag or box on the floor. Yes, past tense. We lost him in 2017 and I'll miss him until I am no longer living.
