MIST0725/LOCKJA-ASCII_CATURDAY_10
Mistigram: is this #ASCIIart kitten simply cavorting with an #emoji ball of yarn on the rug, or are they actively unravelling the carpet? I think the ‘busted’ expression on its face speaks volumes. This piece by @Lockja was included in last month’s #cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection.
MIST0725/MOTH-MISSINGNO
Mistigram: this glitchy #ANSIart screen by Moth (which has flashing characters and hidden text in its original form) enshrines The Secret of Missingno, one of the artist’s favorite pieces of weird old #Pokemon fanfic. Depicted is a mutated #Mew clone, for inclusion in last month’s #cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection.

MIST0725/MOZZ-CAT-06
Mistigram: I’ve already invoked the aphorism about what curiosity did to the cat… this #ASCIIart kitty, drawn by Mozz, isn’t dead yet, but when it gets to the end of its rope it may have to tie a knot and hold on. This was included in last month’s #cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection.
MIST0725/US-SOCKINGTON
Mistigram: in the first decade of this new century, Cute Overload and I Can Has Cheezburger? testified to the self-evident truth that the Internet was, on a fundamental level, for sharing funny cat-related content, and all other applications for it were kind of secondary. From this milieu emerged Jason “Textfiles” Scott’s cat Sockington, who over the course of a decade accumulated over a million Twitter followers. Though Socks died in 2022, a good cat is never forgotten, so when Cthulu was coming up with the short list of celebrated cats to enshrine in #ANSIart in last month’s #cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection, this hep cat invariably stalked its way to the top of the pile. LDA and Moth assisted in locking down this adaptation of a 2009 t-shirt design originally by Megan Hopkins and R. Stevens.

MIST0725/US-CATS
Mistigram: Moth began drawing an #ANSIart sketch of Odd from Code Lyoko, then made a critical error and left the piece up on our networked Moebius server for others to add to. Zeus II swooped in, kept the pose and took the WIP in a wildly divergent direction with help from LDA. This piece was included in the recent #cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection.

MIST0725/CT-MC_SKAT_KAT
Mistigram: nostalgia can move a reasonable person to do strange things. Case in point — for the recent #cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection, Cthulu tried to think of famous cats from the ’90s, when #ANSIart was king, and reproduce them in that element for resonance synergy. This is why he for some reason thought it would be a good idea to draw the rear cover art to the 1991 album by Paula Abdul’s “Opposites Attract” dance partner, #MCSkatKat, a real Poochie of a mascot.

MIST0725/MOZZ-CAT-10
Mistigram: some housecats are mighty and fearsome hunters, bane of rodents, birds and bugs… others specialise in sneaking up and neutralising sunbeams with advanced relaxation techniques. This #ASCIIart #cat, drawn by Mozz, has just about got the situation under control. This piece was included in the new cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection.
MIST0725/ZII-SONJ
Mistigram: Zeus II’s #ANSIart portrait of Red Sonja is either highly expressionistic, or he had just partaken in some of those excellent red-capped Swedish forest toadstools before hunkering down to do a highly realistic portrait of his pet, who may or may not be experiencing an extreme catnip trip here. This piece was included in the new #cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection.
MIST0725/NI-LUCKY
Mistigram: this #ANSIart portrait memorialises Charles “Lucky” Mendoza, Nitron’s animal companion of some fifteen years. “Gangster, Friend, Lover of Fancy Feast.” This piece was included in the new cat-themed MIST0725 artpack collection.
