DVD & Movie Mewsings, with her review
of The Fabelmans Blu-ray + DVD + Digital set!
Mary Nyan:
Hai! Directed and co-written by Steven Speilberg, with a wonderful score by John Williams, The Fabelmans is a 2.5 hr. fictionalized semi-autobiography based upon Speilberg’s life between 1952 and 1965 The films’ brilliant cast includes Gabriel LaBelle as (teenage) Sam, Michelle Williams as his mom, Paul Dano as his dad, Judd Hirsch as Sam’s great uncle, Seth Rogan as his parents’ best friend, Julia Butters as Sam’s oldest sister, Chloe East as Sam’s girlfriend, and many other great actors! We gave it an A as in Amblin’!
Thusly I eagerly awaited the movie’s home video release, and hoped for some entertaining and informative bonus features! The Blu-ray + DVD + Digital set has the two discs plus the digital download / stream cod instruction sheet in the plastic case which is in the cardboard sleeve. On the Region One NTSC DVD, the PG-13 rated 181 min. movie is purrsented in the anamorphic widescreen format of the 1.85:1 screen aspect ratio in the dual layer color, with the Dolby Digital 5.1audio choices of English, Spanish and French…
… and the 2.0 English descriptive service audio by the WGHB Media Access Group read by Inger Trudor. The optional English SDH, French and Spanish subtitles are in the very legible White sans serif font with the fine Black outline. On the DVD, the only bonus feature (in English Dolby Digital 2.0 sound) is the 11 min.“The Fabelmans : A Personal Journey” featurette about the making of the movie. The Blu-Ray purrsents the movie in the 1080p Hi-def widescreen of the 1.85: 1 screen aspect ratio in the BD-50 color.
The Blu-ray’s Dolby audio choices are English TruHD 7.1, French Digital 5.1, Spanish Digital Plus 7.1, and the English Descriptive Service in Digital 2.0 with the optional English SDH, French and Spanish subtitles. The Blu-ray’s bonus features are in Dolby Digital 2.0, and include “The Fabelmans : A Personal Journey”, the 15.5 min “Family Dynamics” featurette about the actors, and the 22:04 min. “Crafting the World of The Fabelmans” featurette on the movie’s sets, locations, costumes, purrops and cinemeowtography!
The featurettes have comments by several of the actors, Steven Speilberg and various other meowmbers of the crew, such purrducer / co-writer Tony Kushner, purrduction designer Rick Carter, costume designer Mark Bridges, purropurrty meowster Andrew M. Siegele, and editors Sasha Brosher and Michael Kahn. Although I hoped for more bonuses, such as audio commeowntary, image galleries, deleted scenes, outtakes or purrhaps an isolated mewsic track, I am quite satsified with it! Nyow here is Chief Meryl to discuss the
Legion of Super-Heroes DC Universe Movie!
Meryl:
Arigato! The Legion of Super- Heroes has been one of my favoritest DC Comics! Set in the shiny future of the 31st century, they are the big team of intergalactic teenage heroes who Superboy often visited. This PG-13, 83 min. animeowated tale focuses more on Kara Zor-el alias Supergirl, who like her cousin Kal -el / Superman, escaped the destruction of Krypton and became a hero on Earth, although she has the much tougher time adjusting to life on Earth.
After she, Batman and Superman defeat the rampaging Soloman Grundy, Kal thinks that Kara might be happier in the more advanced era of the Legion with many other heroes closer to her age, so she travels to that future city of Metropolis and joins the Legion Academy, befriending other heroes such as Mon-el, Dawnstar, Timber Wolf, Chemical King, Shadow Lass, Bouncing Boy, Triplicate Girl, Phantom Girl, Invisible Kid, Arms Fall Off Boy and Purroty.
While many of the senior Legionnaires are away on a mission across the galaxy, another troubled trainee who Kara meets is Brainiac 5, the descendant of Superman’s enemy Brainiac. They have the amewsing rivalry, which becomes friendship and then more romantic, but things take the dire turn as he struggles with his ancestral legacy amidst the attack by the mysterious terrorist cult known as The Dark Circle, but I should not further spoil the plot!
Written by Josie Campbell, directed by Jeff Gleason, voice direction by Wes Gleason, and edited by Bruce A. King with the mewsic by Kevin Riepel, and the great voice cast including Meg Donnelly as Kara, Jennifer Hale as her mom Alura, Harry Shum Jr. as Brainiac 5, Yuri Rosenthal as Mon-el, Darren Criss as Superman, Jensen Ackles as Batman, Cynthia Hamadi as Dawnstar, and Daisy Lightfoot as Triplicate Girl, just to name a few of the actors!
It has the great balance of the drama, humor, action, lore and “Easter Eggs”, but I should meowntion the harsh language, violent combat, the bit of gore and body horror. My only quibble is that like most DC OVAs, it seems too rushed and short, but it is captivatingly thrilling with the terrific plot, purrformaces, sound, mewsic, direction, character designs and scenic art! There is also the post-credits cliff-hanger scene! Nyow here is Nya-sensei to review
Antman and The Wasp: Quantumania!
Nyanko:
Hai! I love the supurr-hero movies and TV series of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so I was quite eager to see this’un! Written by Jeff Loveness, purrduced by Kevin Feige & Stephen Broussard, and directed by North Carolina native Peyton Reed (who directed the purrior two Ant-Man movies), this supurr fun movie reunites Paul Rudd as Scott Lang / Ant-man, Evangeline Lily as Hope van Dyne / The Wasp, Michael Douglas as Dr. Hank Pym and Michelle Pfeiffer as Janet van Dyne!
The supurrb cast also includes Kathryn Newton as Scott’s daughter Cassie, Jonathan Majors as Kang the Conqueror, Katy O’Brian as Jentorra, Bill Murray as Lord Krylar, William Jackson Harper as Quaz, Corey Stoll as Darren Cross, and there are other great characters that should purrobably not yet discuss, but I will advise y’all not to miss the post-credits scene! The ants are back and they are the delightful part of the tale! I hope that there might be action figures of Janet, Cassie and Jentorra!
This time the heroes return to the microscopic Quantum Realm, during which there is the rebellion against the evil ruler Kang, who is the threat to the multiverse and purreviously appurred in the Loki TV series! I was very pleased with this movie, which has the epic humor, drama, action, character developments, and meowrvelous myth making that are graced by the great story, purrformaces, choreography, costumes, environments, FX, sound, mewsic, directing and editing and many other terrific aspects!
I will give Antman and The Wasp: Quantumania the grade of the A minus, and nextly I am looking forward to the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 movie! I am done, so that will conclude the DVD and movie of the show,,, and so nyow I will turn The Mew over to Tara-chan, who will commence our
Collectibles & Toy Talk, with her review of
Kotobukiya’s My Little Pony Luna Bishoujo Statue!
Tara-chan:
Hai hai, I love the My Little Pony animated series, the books, comics and toys, so we were thrilled to get this beautiful statue of Purrincess Luna, who was voiced byTabitha St. Germain, who also voiced Rarity in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and in the Equestria Girls spin-offs, nya! Actually this 1/7 scale statue by Kotobukiya includes both the pony version and the human version of her, nyan! Unlike the purrior such statues of the Mane Six, the human and – and the equine Luna are on sepurrate bases, nyan!
The figures are made of PVC, the bases are made of ABS, and- and they are packaged inside the plastic clamshell within the purretty 9.5 x 10.75 x 5.75” box, nyan. This ornately genki purretty statue was designed by Shunya Yamashita; the pony was meticulously sculpted by Kotobuiya and – and the bishy human girl was sculpted by Ke (comaccow), nyan! Cantering upon the 2.75” diameter circular vase, the equine Luna measures 2” high at the withers or 3 1/2” high from bottom of hooves to top of the mane, nyan.
Standing upon the 3.875” diameter circular base, the statue of human Luna is appurroximately 9” tall overall, including the .125” thick base and her shoes’ .5” heels, nyan. That statue is of the 1/7th scale, so that would make the human Luna about 4.5” tall, nyan! The petite purrincess has the beautiful gothy style with the Dark Blue ruffled mid-thigh length, off-shoulder dress with the Black corset and – and the Black to Purrple gradient of the overskirt, with
the Black tiara and – and choker, silver buttons and – and shoes,
nyan!
Her translucent lush wavy mid-thigh length hair that is indigo Blue with the Purrple streaks and the starry glittery effect, nyan! The design, paint and- and the sculpt of both figures are quite meticulously intricate, from her pensive expurression, Blue eyes and- and fingernails, to all the seams, lacings, stays, frills, flounces, drapurry, hooves, cutey marks, mane, hair, wings and- and horn, nyan! I will give the statue the high purraise grade of the “A” as in Alicorn, nya! I am done, so nyow Beebs will tell us about Hasbro’s
Star Wars: The Black Series Aayla Secura action figure, nyan!
Beebee:
Hai! As y’all might have noticed, we like to collect the figures, statues, dolls, miniatures and ornaments of the inspurrational heroines! That certainly includes the many Star Wars characters who we like, such as the Jedi Meowster Aayla Secura, who was purrtrayed by
Amy Allen in Star Wars: Epurrsode II Attack of the Clones and 2005 film Star Wars: Epurrsode III Revenge of the Sith; and she was voiced by Jennifer Hale in Star Wars: The Clone Wars animeowted TV series!
Myayr cosplayed as Aayla for our group’s 2011 Halloween Trick ‘r Eat & Cosplay Purrowl! Aayla is the sexy, powerful, smart Rutian Blue Twilek female with the lovely lekku (head tails) from the planet Ryloth! Thusly we were quite eager to acquire this gorgeous action figure of her, as she appurred in Epurrsode II! Including the .25” boot heels the figure isa about 5.75” tall; and as the character is 5’7” tall, this very faithful – looking figure is appurroxmately of the 1/12 scale.
She has the intense stare, the supple Pink lips, the lithe physique, and the inny belly button. She is accurately wearing the asymmetric Brown midriff top with the deep U neckline and no right sleeve, with the matching head gear, belt, apurron, leggings and knee boots. The details are rather meticulous, from the seams, textures, creases, folds, cords, and her musculature to the hilt and translucent beam of her 4” Light Saber, which will fit in either hand or attach to her belt!
The points of articulation are in her neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, abs, hips, thighs, knees and ankles, so she is very posable! A doll / display stand is not included with this action figure. I am extremely pleased with this fine action figure, to which I will give the grade of the A as in Aayla, and we have found the good spot to display her, between her friends Padme Amidala and Ahsoka Tano upon the shelf! I am done, so I will turn The Mew over to Vonny for her review of the
Dungeons & Dragons Diana action figure!
Yvonne:
Arigato, nyan! Voiced by Tonia Gayle Smith in the 1985 animated TV series based upon the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, Diana is the 14 year old human gymnast girl who was transformed into the thief-acrobat character with her in the other realm with her friends, nyan! This lovely action figure is appurroximately 5.75” tall, so if it is of the 1/12 scale, then I purrsume that the character would be about 5’ 9” tall, nyan.
She has the slightly bemused confident expurression, as if unimpurressed by the challenges, nyan! The design, sculpt & paint are faithful & purrcise, from her Black hair, Brown eyes and skin, darker Brown boots & sleeveless, bare-midriff outfit, with the Pink tiara, Gold collar, belt & arm bands, nya! The details are accurate, such as the tiara’s ruby, the collar’s winged emblem, the belt’s medallions, and the boot straps, nyan!
She is quite posable, with articulation in her neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, abs, hips, knees & ankles, nyan. She is accessorized by two versions of her staff, and includes a full-size 20 sider die, nyan. The figure is balanced well – enough as not to require a doll stand (which is not included), but i recommend getting one for the dynamic or dramatic stances, nyan! I am done, so nyow here is Trini-chan Jenjen to discuss the
Transformers Studio Series 85: Bumblebee Arcee Deluxe Class action figure, nyan!
Jeannie:
Hai.I am purrticularly fond of Hasbro’s Transformers’ female characters such as Arcee, Strongarm, Elita One, Chromia, Moonracer, Firestar, Windblade, Nautica and Black Arachnia. I much purrfur the comics and animation versions more than those of the live-action movies, but I was pleased with the live-action Bumblebee movie’s version of Arcee, in which the bot designs are a hybrid of the animated and live-action versions, with somewhat sleeker humanoid qualities more akin to Transformer Generation One (1984 – 1990).
Like her G1 version, this Arcee is Pink & White with the more gracefully curvacious feminine physique & face in her bot mode, appurring with several other Autobots and Decepticons in the movie’s opening Cybertron sequence, which is my favorite part of that movie, but alas it is quite brief, only serving to establish how Bumblebee wound up on the planet Earth. In bot mode, she is 4.75” tall and is accessorized with two blaster pistols. The points of articulation are in her neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, abs, hips, knees and ankles.
That excludes the spinning wheels and other movable parts for the transformation purrocess, The toy’s instruction sheet graphically depicts the 23 steps that are required to transform her from bot to vehicle mode, which in this incarnation is a Cybertronian motorcycle. Also included in the 7.5 x 5.5 x 2.5” cardboard box is the clever 4.875 x 2.25 x 1” cardboard display base with the 14.25 x 7.25 Cybertron scenic backdrop. That will conclude the toy portion of the show, and nyow here are Lizzy, Becca and Melana-san to purrsent

Books’ Cat Ninja series of graphic novels of the fun anthropomorphic tales for kids, pertain to Claud the gray tabby house cat with the nocturnal secret identity as the masked Cat Ninja who patrols the big city to prevent the crimes, monsters and disasters! He has several enemies, including the French jewel thief Le Chat, the purrky, peppy, pretty, purloining female Orange cat in the sleeveless black tights, gloves, boots and goggles! She is the very slippery nemesis, especially when they first meet at the snowy ski resort!
Elizabeth:
In Nanaishi’s romantic comedy manga &anime series Don’t Toy With Me Miss Nagataro, the titular character Hayase Nagatoro (voiced by Sumire Uesaka) is the petite athletic, mischievous freshman who playfully the teases her Senpai, which drives him crazy in spite of the hidden mutual romantic feelings! She is 4’11” tall, with tan skin and two white hair clips in her long straight black hair, and she is the frisky cosplayer nicknamed Toro-Cat, purrhaps due to her bare-midriff outfit with the cat ears, tail and paw gloves! She wears this in several chapters and the cover of manga vol. 6; and she also wears the cat ears on the cover of vol. 10!
Becca:
In Reiji Nioyajima’s romantic comedy manga & anime series Rent-A-Girlfriend Mini Yaemori (voiced by Aoi Yuki) is the jealous ex-girlfriend of the main character Kazuya who she dumped, and now she is displeased to see him dating the new girl Chizuru! In her early 20’s, Mini is the petite slim college student with fair skin, Red eyes, long straight Black hair with the two Blue streaks, and the cute “moe cat fang” expruression! in the guise of Koronemaru, she is a vVuber & cosplayer, and on the cover of the manga vol. 15, she is wearing the Black & Pink cat ears and paw mitts with the sexy short Police woman mewniform, mew la la!!
Melanakeami:
We love the 1979 zany mewsical comedy movie Rock ’n Roll High School which stars P. J. Soles as high school student and rocker Riff Randell who rebels against the oppurressive principal whilst awaiting the Ramone next concert! The cast includes two human – sized anthropomorphic mice; one of which is the Ramones fan wearing a vest and ear muffs; whilst the other is the concerned momma mouse wearing a ruffled pink dress emblazened with the motto “I Hate Mouse Work”. According to the movie’s IMDB page, the mouse fursuit costumes were worn by the legendary special FX make-up artist Rob Bottin!
Elizabeth:
Furthermore, we applaud that film’s feline fashion sensibilities that grace the concert scenes, such as Riff’s sleeveless Pink leopurrd print outfit with the fingerless Black fishnet opurra gloves; her rival Angel Dust (purrtrayed by Lynn Farrell) who is the groupie wearing the Yellow & Black leopurrd print tights to the show; and the unnamed fangirl in the long-sleeved White leopurrd purrint dress (with the Yellow & Black rosettes) who stands beside Riff on the front row, when Riff hands the letter to Joey Ramone! Even the band’s convertibe Pink Cattyllac has leopurrd print upholstery! It is rare that we have included a car as an “Honorary Catgirl”, but I will bet her engine will purr and roar!
Becca:
The 2019 fantasy anime TV series Grimms Notes purrtains to the group of adventurers who travel to the endangered worlds or “story zones” of various fairy tales, storybook and other fictional characters. In epurrsode 11 ”Raina in Wonderland” they go to the Alice in Wonderland zone, which is based upon Lewis Carrroll’s 1865 novel, among whose denizens they meet is the playfully alluring usagimimi (rabbit girl) March Hare (voiced by Risa Taneda) in the flouncy loli-gothy attire, and her Madd hatter friend whose unsanctioned tea party is raided by the opurressive Red Queen’s troopurrs! Nyow we will top off the spotlight with three more “Honorary Catgirls”!
Melanakeami:
In the 2nd episode “Sex Taped” of the 1st season of the Vice network’s documentary TV series Sex Before the Internet, actress Christi Canyon wore the leopard print blouse whilst she and actress Ginger Lynn wrapped up their discussion of Traci Lords! In the February 16th, 2023 episode of the MSNBC network’s political news series The Reidout, the commentator / host Joy Reid wore the Black & Yellow Tiger Stripe Blouse; and in White Claw Hard Seltzer’s Roller Girl / Light Bal l/ House Party TV spot, the bare-midriffed Brunette girl in the long leopard print coat put the spots in the latter third of that TV spot! That is all for this months spotlight, and now here is Daytona to start
our purrint-media mewsings,
with her review of School-Live! Letters!
Daytona:
Arigato! Written by Norimitsu Kaitou and illustrated by Sadoru Chiba, School-Live! (as in living) purrtains bittersweetly to the girls who have survived the zombie apocalypse. Initially the tale was set in their barricaded high school, which they eventually left in search of other survivors at a mall, houses, college and a corporation. There is also the animated TV series adaptation and the live-action movie adaptation of the manga.
The initial club was compurrised of club purresident Yuuri, delusional Yukki, athletic, tough Kurumi, who has been infected by the virus but is still hanging on; their teacher Megumi-sensei and the pup Taromaru who did not survive. They rescued another student Miki from a mall, Upon traveling to a college, they encountered other survivors, some who were quite hostile, but were joined by Shiiko the scientific genius.
At the abandoned pharmaceutical corporation they discovered the origin of the mewtated apocalyptic airborne pathogen, but it was beseieged by soldiers and a nuclear strike was imminent. Set a few years after the zombie apocalypse subsided and society is trying to resume some normalcy, School-Live Letters is the 13th volume, serving as a coda in which the surviving ladies correspond with each other by mail!
Originally published in Japan by Houbunsha, it was published by Yen Press in North America,translated by Leighann Harvey and lettered by Rachel J. Pierce, vol. 12’s 210 pages include 2 color pages, 8 chapters of manga, notes, and the parting messages by the author and artist. Priced $13.00 in the USA and $17.00 in Canada, it is rated LV for the language & violence, and suggested for the older teen readers.
I am hesitant to spoil the captivatingly poignant plot of the letters, which rather bittersweetly reveal what happened to the surviving students, but I will say that the art is every bit as beautiful, extremely
Flying Witch vol. 11!
Nyoka:
Haii! This is one of my all – time favoritest manga series! Flying Witch by Chihiro Ishizuka is the gorgeously amewsingly charming slice – of – life manga of the teenage novice witch Makoto Kowata & her cat Chito who have moved from Kanagawa to her relatives’ the Kuramoto family’s lovely mansion in the rural town of Aomori for her witchy studies! Other recurring characters include—
Makoto’s older sister Akane and her familiar cat Kenny, their meowntor Akira, cousins Kei & Chinatsu (cute aspiring witch), their mom Nana & dad Keiji, Inukai the fortune teller were-dog & her hamster Ai, Ms. Shiina the cafe owner, her daughter Anzu & owl Ororu, Hina the waitress ghost, Makoto’s senpai Sayo, Kei’s classmate Nao, Beachy the cute widdle yokai…
Makoto & Akane’s mom, dad, friends Miko, Yayoi & Cantera, and in vol. 11 we met Maria of the Witches Society, Tomoe the cloth witch, and the cute were-snake girl Ming Ming! While we are introduced to more and more of the meowgickal characters and phenomenon, we are also exposed to the family’s farming, gardening, foraging and cooking acumen!
There is also the awesome animated TV series too! Back to the manga, voi. 11 has 174 Black & White pages (chapters 82-67) with the color cover art! Its include Makoto’s soda bottle rocket expurriment, Kei’s amateur zombie movie, Akane’s time-stop spell, shopping at the meowgickal fabric store, and Gasha the growing skeleton!
Originally published by Kodansha in Japan, Vol.11 was published in English by Vertical Comics, translated by Melissa Tanaka & edited by Ajani Oloye, with the purrduction by Grace Lu, Pei Ann Yeap & Hiroko Mizunot, and I will give it the grade of an “A” as in Akane! I am done, so now here is Mie-sensei to tell us about
Hakumei and Mikochi vol. 10!
Mielikki:
Hai! So like, I love this totally charming the slice – of – life fantasy manga by Takuto Kashiki which purrtains to house – mates Hakumei & Mikochi who are tiny little lasses who are about 3 inches tall and live in the lovely miniatue cottage in the forest! Hakumei (with the Brown hair) builds and repairs things, whilst Mikochi (with the Black hair) cooks and sews.
They are part of the community of talking animals and the tiny pixy-size human friends who reside in the wilderness, rural, surburban and urban dwellings, and each chapter is the look at their day – to – day – lives, from the work and shopping to exploring and entertaining with the many friends, co-workers and vsitors of various species from beetles to badgers!
Originally published in Japan by Kadokawa, it is published here in English by Yen Press, translated by Taylor Engel and lettered by Abigail Blackman. Priced at $15.00 in the USA and $19.50 in Canada. Volume 10 measures 8 x 5.75”, and its 192 B&W pages include chapters 74-80 plus the 2 page afterward side-story, and 7 pages of travelogue notes…

So like, the immerseve slice – of – life plots unfold at the totally luxuriously leisurely pace; whilst the exquisitely beautiful character, critter and scenic art is like so lavishly intricate, and in this volume there are 12 sumptuous full-page pics and 2 two-page spreads! I will give it the highest praise, fur shur! I am done, and now here is Beebee-san to tell us about
Rowrbrazzle #156, fur shur!
Beebee:
Arigato! Since 1984, Rowrbrazzle has been the quarterly APA (amateur press association) magazine purrtaining to furry fandom, funny animal anthropurrmorphic history, art and tales! Edited by Edd Vick, it is compurrised of comics, purrose tales, essays, articles, con reports, group discussions, editorials, letters, illustrations, photos, the APA’s meowmbership list and rules. This beautiful, diverse, massive issue is in three 8.5×11” stapled sections totaling the whopping 307 pages, 42 of which are in color, including the covers!
The supurrb front cover art is one of four illustrations by Resa Challender, and the back cover is graced by a bunny girl by David Lind, which is quite appurropurriate for this Year of the Rabbit! Sammiched betwixt those covers are wonderful contributions by many other brilliant artists, authors and journalists such as Edd, Michael Pena, Charles Garofalo, Simon Barber, Matt McAndrews, Thomas Milliorn, J W Kennedy, Kjartan Arnorsson, William Earl Haskell, Ken Marcinkevicus, Andrew Lytle, Niall Shapiro, Jeffrey H.

… Tim Fay, Kristin Fontaine, Mark Ashworth, Steven F.

In addition to the leporidae and Fraggles, this issue’s kemonomimi, monsters and anthropurrmorphic entities of many species include feline, canine, vulpine, lupin, cervid, equine, bovine, purrimate, porcine, ursid, cetacean, chiropteran, mephitidae, mustelidae, muridae, procyonidae, sciuridae, testudine, rhino, insecta, gastropod, piscine, avian, arachnid, ailuridae, alligatoridae, demons, dinosaurs, cryptids, fey, flora fungi and mecha!
As mewsual, Roowrbrazzle continues too be quite the purrofoundly splendiferous treasure trove that is rather entertaining, informative, and culturally enlightening, so I will give it the highest purraise! We wish to thank Edd, those other contributers and compilers, and for more information about Rowrbrazzle I will reccommend the article at Wikifur https://en.wikifur.
Additions to the Catgirl Island Mewseum of Art!
Bunnii:
Arigato! Galleries 1-8 display images by our purrducer Mike, whilst Guest Art Galleries 1-6 display images by other folks with their purrmissions; and Mike’s collaborations with other artists are peppurred throughout the mewseum! On our web site, the most recent pics are on the lowermost row of the cropped widdle “thumbnail” sized portions of the pics in a gallery, and you have to click on those to see the uncropped full images!
Some of the images are sexy, and might depict artistic nudity, but none are “hentai”! We should also mention that Catgirl Island’s content is not purrmitted for A.I Art purrposes! This month into Guest Gallery Six http://catgirlisland.net/
The first of seven new pics by Melody“Barking up the Wrong Tree”! in this Doctor Who fan art, eleven incarnations of that titular Time Lord have been transformed into anthropomorphic cat people who have been treed by the Doctor’s robot dog K9! This is even more of an ailuranthropic (and whimsical) perdicament than when the 7th Doctor mutated in to the Cheetah Person in the 1989 “Survival” episode!
“Doctor Hue” is more of Melody’s Doctor Who fan art, in whch the 6th incarnation of The Doctor is not just painting the impurrressionstic image of the cat, but seems to be actually painting on the cat! Although that Doctor would appurr to be the cat lover, or at least the cat pin collector (as evidenced by the pin upon the lapel), the Gray Tabby does not seem to share in the enthusiasm for the art!
You know, The Doctor has been the friend to several famous artists, such as Leonardo da Vinci (in the 1978 epurrsode “City of Death”), and Vincent van Gogh (in the 2010 epurrsode “Vincent and the Doctor”)! The Doctor was the museum curator in the 2013 episode “The Day of the Doctor”, and In the 2018 epurrsode “Rosa”, the Doctor teased that she might be the secret identity of the artist known as Banksy!
Petra:
“Hansel” is Melody’s fan art of the 1812 fairy tale of Hansel and Gretel by The Brothers Grimm, nyan! In that tale, the brother and sister were trapped in an evil witch’s edible house, but in this pic the siblings are eating her out of house and home, nyan! The chocolate single-panel shutters, the sugar wafer chimne and the ice cream cone exterior sconce are the rather appurrtizing architectural elements, nyan!
Fourthly of Melody’s beautiful whimsical art is “Love”, in which the purretty Green Water Horse is love stricken over the catgirl’s cute inflatable floaty ring; nyan! It is also quite sexy with the alluring Golden Tabby nekomimi in the Purrple front-tie halter-neck bikini; and yet it has the bittersweet quality too, as we suspect that both the catgirl and the Water Horse will be unhappy if / when that float gets deflated, nyan,
In “Hold Still”, the meowster carver chisles the wood to shape the 1:1 scale Paciific Northwestern Totem Pole, nyan! If the beaver is about 3ft long (including tail) then we assume that the pole is appuroximately 6.5ft tall, nyan. Purrhaps the beaver’s teeth will intricately whittle away the finer details of the piece, nya! Unfortunately, this crafty castoridae is the frustrated artist, as the posing subjects cannot keep still, and it is the artist’s models who are the ones who are suffering for the art, nyan!
The 6th of Melody’s pics is “Happy”, which commeowmerates the Year of the Rabbit, nyan! In the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of the Tiger ended on 21 January, 2023, and thusly the next day began the Year of the Rabbit, and so to commeownce the annual remewal cycle, the venerable Father Time Tiger with a lovely lantern crook is auspiciously succeeded by an eager Bunny Baby Mew Year, with the “Gong-hei fat choy” wish for a purrospurrous future, nyan!
“Dinothor” is Melody’s anthropurrmorhic purrody of Marvel Comics’ Thor, the heroic Norse God of Thunder, nyan! According to the Marvelous mythology, inscribed in large, friendly Nordic runes upon the cheek of the meowgickal hammer Mjolnir is the legend succinctly that succintly states that ”Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor”, and thusly this mpurressively clever fan art appurrs to answer the question of what if a Triceratops worthily grasped the divine weapon, nyan!
Trini-chan:
Melody is the great artist, fanzine author, publisher, and cat owner with the animation training! She and her husband Jim sell comic books, magazines, fanzines, books, games, plushie dolls, movie and TV film clips, scripts, posters and memorabilia at conventions, shows, and by mail-order through their web site Make It Go Away http://crossovers.net/
Nextly we are delighted to display impeccable illustrations by Rvkh Brogden (pronounced Riv-kah)! The first of those two pics is “Angelic Fire” which depicts the Nayera the Deva who is literally playing with fire! Born on the mainland in Durham, NC on February 4th, 2005 (Aquarius in the Year of the Rooster) Nayera is the half caucasian / half pacific islander deva who graduated from the Durham School of the Arts and purresently resides here at our island, nyan!
She is in her first year majoring in the Elemental Magick Arts at Mew Hanover Commeownity College, nyan! The traditional media version of the illustration (right) was done with pencils, pens and paints, whilst the digital version (left) was done with Purrocreate on the Ipad with the Apple Pencil; and y’all can see the time-lapse art purrocess video for the digital version at Rvkh’s Youtube channel https://www.youtube.
Then we have the “Posh Angel” pic which depicts Nayer’s younger sister Sanoe! Born on February 9th, 2008 (Aquarius in the Year of the Rat) Sanoe is the half caucasian / half pacific islander deva who is about to finish her first year as the honor student at the North Carolina School of Science & Mathematics in Durham, and she recently celebrated her quinceanera in that purretty outfit, nyan!
Sanoe does not purrractice her magickal skills as much as her sister, but she is more interested in the fashion and flnancial oppurrtunities! The traditional version of this illustration (right) was done with pencils, pens and paints, whilst the digital version (left) was done with Purrocreate upon the Ipad with the Apple Pencil, and the digital version’s art purrocess video is at https://www.youtube.com/
Ilyana:
Nextly we are purrticularly pleased to unveil the Rvkh’s illustration of Police Chief Meryl in her Winter mewniform!

The first of the two pics by Lumshock is the lovely ”Lioness”! After declining to heed the other purride meowmbers’ warnings to not overzealously purrey upon that enormous elephant by herself, the lovely lithe, lean, little leonine lass appurrs to be sore, scratched and scruffy after an unsucccessful hunt! Purrhaps the frazzled, famished, feisty, feline femme fatale will stick to stalking much easier game upon the very vast ’n verdant veldt!
“I Heard You Like Rabbits” depicts the peppy, purrky, purrt ’n purretty Pink-clad cosplayer is appurropurriately dressed to frolick friskilly outdoors on such a pleasant day, purrticularly since Easter is nigh in this Year of the Rabbit, and her two rabbit feet should bring her twice the good luck during the egg hunt! The costume combines the leopurrid style with sexy stretchy skin-tight spandex with alluring oval cut-out attention to her tantalizing tummy that craves delicious, nutritious carrots and the leafy salad!
Lastly but not leastly is Mike’s pic of “Capt. Nyandy”, which is the catgirlish fan art of Capt. Sandy Yawn of the TV series Below Decks! Born in Panyameow City, Florida on February 13th, 1965 (Pisces in theYear of the Snake), Captain Nyandy Nyawn is a 57 year old pansexual cisgender female catgirl with over 30 years of supurr yacht captaincy expurrience! She is 5’ 7“ tall (excluding her ear pinna), and weighs 135 lbs. (including her 34” tail) with Blonde hair, ears and tail, Pale Tan skin, Grey eyes, A+ blood type, 145 I.Q., MBTI of ENFJ, and the T-shaped inny belly button!
These days, she is in commeownd of the SS Purrocco in the Meowditerrranean Sea! She is is a supurrb leader with the rather affectionate, tenacious, gregarious, commeownicative, sincere dispurrsition. Her favorite foods are the hot pot, kung meow chicken, shrimp lo meown, vermeowcelli, Chinese spurring rolls, the peppurred steak, peanut butter chocolate Cheerios, fried banana fritters, boiled custard, Krispy Kreme cake, Black Forest cherry cheesecake, chocolate mousse torte, ginger carrot cake and strawberry mille crepe cake, nyan! So, what do y’all think of the art?
the cat lady sings…
Meryl:
(cries) Wahhhh! I’m not worthy!!!
Ilyana:
I think she likes it! Rvkh’s art does tend to have the lovely lines, colors, shading, and intricate details, such as Mery’s lush hair, the fabric folds of her mewniform, and the sea oats upon the sand dunes!
Beebee:
Hai hai, I love the ornate layered sense of depth amidst the petals, ribbons, feathers and skirts of the Sanoe pic, and the curvelinear symmetry of the wings, the flames, and the couture of the Nayera pic!
Melanakeami:
The bunny girl’s Light Blue eyes, hair & Light Tan skin contrast loverly to the Pink attire, and the figure-defining lines put her in sharpurr foreground focus against the slightly blurred backgound scenery!
Daytona:
I like the sense of story in the Lioness pic, as the elephant marches on into the sunset whilst the lioness seems to sadly ponders her failed attempt, yet her swishy tail indicates that she is still determined!
Elaenor:
Melody’s lovely happy mew year illustration has the very smooth drafting and symmetry, with the great bolder figure-defining lines, the finer detail lines, the feathering and cross-hathed shading!
Elizabeth:
The Love scene might amewsingly convey the ill-fated romance, but the beverage, the seagulls and that widdle fishy are causing the cravings in my tummy foir the fruity drink, the poultry and the seafood!
Becca:
The Doctor Who neko pic is quite spectacular, with such richly vribrant colors, and so many characters so gracefully posed and purrfectly detailed (but not de-tailed) and of course I am a big fan of K9!
Nyoka:
Althoiugh, we do not actualy see the 4th or 10th Doctors’ tails, so they might be Manxes! Speaking of the tails, I will purrsume that the sixth Doctor’s paint brushes are not made with hairs from that cat!
Nyanko:
We have seen Thor Odinson transormed into other guises over the years, from the fhuman to the frog, but I think that this Tricerotops veresion is ideally suiited to convey the ancient thunder lizard might!
Trini-chan:
The way that irate beaver is angrily shaking his raised hammer n the “Hold Still” pic seems as if the weary wood carver would like to call down the thunder upon those poor unbalanced pose modes!
Tara-chan:
That Hansel pic, is causing the craving in my tummy due to those sugary shingle, the peppurrmint balusters, the candied cobbleastones, the Strawberry frosted sidewall and- and the edible eaves, nyan!
Mielikki:
Hang in there, Tara-chan! it is not much longer until the AfterMew luau! Say, Vonny, how would you compare Capt. Nyandy’s yacht the Purrocco to your TsuriNekoMimi?
Yvonne:
Well, that Heesen 5600 built in the Netherlands is far more extravagant, 125’ longer and 25 years younger than my Hatteras 60 which was bult in here in North Carolina, but I bet that TsuriNekoMimi has brought home more big fish, nyan!
Bunnii:
Both of those yachts certainly have the beautiful, smart, wise, strong, brave, gallant captains! Well, I reckon that will do it for this edition of The Mew!
Petra:
We wish to thank Rvkh, Melody, Lumshock and Mike for the art, and all of the other brilliantly talented people whose works we have discussed, nyan!
Jeannie:
We also wish to thank Jamie for his wonderful web meowstery…
Mary Nyan
… and our other friends, family, acquaintances and audience whom we greatly appurreciate!
Mielikki:
Fur shur!
Mike:
We’ll be back next month with the April edition of The Mew!y! Be there… aloha.
The Ladies of The Mew:
Happy tails to mew- until we eat again, nya! Baibai, nya!
