Cat's Café, a comic series written and illustrated by me, Matt Tarpley, tackles the experiences of life one cup of coffee (or tea!) at a time. As a guest at Cat's Café, you’ll get to meet a slew of lovable characters and discover their lives are strikingly similar to our own. Starring Cat (the owner of the cafe), Rabbit, Penguin, and other animals, these loveable characters explore important topics such as anxiety, diversity, and empowerment with a thoughtful touch.
Providing service with a heart-shaped smile, Cat is the owner of the cafe and works hard to brighten the day of every guest. Cat has a seemingly magical ability to meet the needs of every special guest.
Rabbit bounds around the cafe assisting Cat with the day to day duties. As Cat’s apprentice, Rabbit not only learns the ropes of brewing delicious beverages but also how to overcome their own anxiety.
Penguin is lifelong friends with Cat and a coffee fiend. Always the first one through the door, Penguin cannot start their day without a visit to Cat's Café.
Kiwi is a kiwi. Only says ‘kiwi’. Best buds with Penguin.
There are many more friends to meet, such as Opossum, Axel, and Chipper the intense chipmunk, each with their own story to tell. So, grab your favorite mug and blanket, and cozy up at Cat's Café.
Created from a place of empathy, I set out to tell relatable stories with healthy and positive outcomes. Knowing we all experience life in different ways, I felt it was important to define Cat's Café as a comic that promotes acceptance and understanding. Check out the previous part here!
You’ll be sure to leave feeling warm and fluffy!

Awwww I really felt this. Just remember that it is okay to love yourself little buddy, as you ARE amazing. xox
Be nice to yourself - we are all worth it (L'Oreal got something right).

postmen and delviery people need more notice. They travel so far to give you some thing and get barley any pay.
It's nice to have that someone who'd tell you "I got you" despite how hard the situation is..Just you know, knowing someone's there for you.
I identify with this more than all the rest. The WORRYING. Just let me free!!!

Everything I think. There's a thing: Generalized Anxiety Disorder.

This cutie always throws his phone to lava. Here u go: The phone was an Impostor. 3 Remains (Computer, IPad and TV left the game) Victory
I wonder why they're sad? P.S. I agree. Sesame Street has a whole song called It's All Right to Cry.
This feels like something related to lgbtq transgenders. Or maybe it's just me
How can you not see the irony in this? A wolf in sheep’s clothing…come on.
I think it's a metaphor for a transgender person going out in public as their new gender for the first time.
Load More Replies...I put an 'immigrants welcome' sign at my local laundromat (a pic of Wonder Woman explaining that the Bill of Rights is for everyone) and I'm pleasantly surprised to say, 1-1/2 years later it's still there, and it hasn't been defaced.
Most people love immigrants! It's the illegal ones we have a problem with.
Load More Replies...no don't be sorry you're funny I wish we were friends or something you seem sweet
Load More Replies...Money doesn't know race, gender or preference. People shouldn't care as much either. Everyone just wants to live and be happy.
I want this or a similar sign in front of my vet's office in the future. It will be advertised as Christian, but I don't want people thinking that Christians are discriminatory or prejudiced. Christianity is a religion of love for everyone, regardless of gender, skin tone, identification, or orientation.
No disrespect to Tennille, just my personal view but I hate that expression. Why does it have to be b***h which implies female? We need something gender neutral really. 🙄

Load More Replies...That Kiwi is ... very strong. I want to cuddle kiwi... but I also fear kiwi a little...
Aww the baby! So cute and sad. What if the axolotl didn’t come by?! 😭
Fish are friends! Not food!! 😂😂 Also, that shark's derpy smile is the best!
This hits me on a personal level. Guys do not bottle your feelings up. Cos I care for you guys. I love you all ♡♡♡
Why isn't s/he fine? These "character in a bad mood" comics always leave me curious and sad.
erm is that an Australian word? sleeping bag is usually for camping.
Load More Replies...I usually try to do the same thing, as to not only meet new people but to brighten their day.
I try to do that but it always looks awkward and stupid as I have social anxiety. I always try though.
Load More Replies...I usually just become so nervous about what they will think or see I lose focus.
I'm a bit concerned about this rabbit. This is the second time s/he's said to have anxiety. I hope Rabbit will be OK.
queen did you cut an onion around here? *searches for onion refusing to admit she's crying* WHERE IS THE ONION
Load More Replies...I like this. It seems silly but it really makes you feel like you’re there
Nothing bad lasts forever! Everything will work out. Probably in ways you can't even think of right now.
This is so true - I have PTSD and I stay up until I can't keep my eyes open because I dread lying there thinking. It's not working, though.
Yep... and when I go to say 'hello, how are you?' words come out in the wrong order. Why, WHY?
Load More Replies...It looks like a Grimm if you do this... but it looks more like a donkey from here.

My aunt is surviving her second round of chemo, and I'm learning to love myself again.
I'm fighting my depression, and making better friends than the ones I had before
I’m finally making progress on a deal I’ve been waiting months to finish. And I’ve been to the gym almost every day for 8 months now!
I am learning to stop hurting myself (emotionally) and how to love myself
You need more than emotional support if u spill coffee... you need THERAPY!!! ;)
I think he's my fave character, although I also like the snake and I'd like to see more of the bat.
