Sorry I didn’t update last week, it was my birthday. Yipee… 23 years. Thanks to everyone who greeted me! And a Happy Halloween as well! Also, look forward to a bonus comic involving Doodling Around (the site might still be down, if that’s the case go here instead), a special Halloween banner, and maybe some more extra comics over the weekend.
Love how panel 3 turned out, although it’s a little frustrating that compared to Hibi’s tree, drawing people at this extreme angle is still very hard for me to do. Oh well!

Keith: A cat's pretty nice, even if I prefer dogs...
Keith: And... I guess I'm just one of those people who name their pets after what they say. Well, whatever.
Keith: At least no one heard me going "Miyan! Miyan!" earlier.
Keith: Alright, let's get you a collar! Myan: ~mew
Whew, delay, I really was lazying again this week hah. At least I got to finish the comic in one day, although technically it took me from Saturday night to Sunday morning to finish.
Nuhh, that first panel with Keith kneeling down took forever to draw. I’m pretty sure it’s not perfect yet, then again, 90% or so should be good enough not to lose my sanity over.
Some things I’m planning to do this month, hopefully I can get most of them done:
Draw something for that webcomic Halloween event. If you have a webcomic, why not join as well?
Make 3 comics a week, so I have a buffer of 1 month worth of comics (12 pages) in preparation for the thrice a week update. The buffer’s also going to be used if my Patreon page is finished; patrons pledging a certain amount can view them in advance. If you have any suggestions for some of the rewards, just tell me!

Keith: Hmm...
Keith: When I look at you... Myan: meow Keith: Suddenly, the perfect name comes to mind!
Whew, this is a big one! Panels 1 to 7 were already done since Tuesday, but heh, I was slacking off for the rest of the week (archive binging The World God Only Knows and Angel Densetsu, and finished them!) so I didn’t get to finish it on time. Even then, this is worth about 3 comics and but I finished it anyway; hopefully this means I can make 3 a week in the future! I kinda cheated by drawing Keith in super-deformed styled though, but oh well.
Barring my poor Photoshop skills for panel 6, I quite like how I drew Keith in some of the panels here as well as the backgrounds, particularly for Keith’s room. The last panel’s looking especially nice, don’t ya think?
Oh yeah, some highlights this week, and I just want to thank everyone for the support!
Cat Nine has reached Top 50 in The Webcomic List! Have no idea how we can influence the rank (there’s no way to vote), but thanks anyway!
Cat Nine has reached Top 200 in Top Web Comics!Voting helps a lot, and again, thanks!

Keith: Name... name... naym... "Myan"?
Keith: Nahhhhh!
Keith: Maybe there's something on TV? Inspiration is everywhere after all.
TV: Now, Miss May-Anne with a beautiful halter top blouse! Keith: Hah, they didn't notice it at all.
Keith: Something outside might inspire me... Oh!
Clouds that look like "Myan" Keith: The sky looks beautiful today.
Keith: How about my pockets?
Keith: Huh, I should get some cat food too. And maybe get more ideas outside.
Pep Squad: Give me an M! Give me a Y! Give me an A..? G-give me an N? Wait, wait! It's supposed to be myna! Keith: Hmm...
Poster A: Labor Day Sale "May One" up to 25% off on selected items Poster B: Visit "Myan"mar Bagan Keith: Hrmm......
Sorry for another flashback, but at least you guys will finally find out the real secret mysterious reason why her name is Myan, and not because I couldn’t think of anything back then!
Transcript
Myan: Is... my name really that stupid?
Keith: *slurp*
Keith: uhh...
[The first day] Keith: So what should I call you?
Keith (thinking): Let's see... Something awesome... Something unique...
I think the last panel is very wallpaper-able, If anyone wants it at a specific size or make some adjustments, just say so! Click on the image below to see what it should look like at 800×600. I’ll probably change or remove the dotted background though, unless you want it to stay.
Transcript
Keith: ...I see. Keith: Myan I'm disappointed. If someone asks if you're a Super Saiyan, you say yes!
Keith: I-I mean, you're not a stray anymore, so behave okay? Myan: Okay...
Actually managed to finish this on early, hah. Hmm, I like how the abstract background turned out for panel 2, which I really need to practice on… the abstract backgrounds I mean.

Myan: Yeah-UH! Kid A: Nu-UH!
Myan: Myahaha! Myan is bigger than you, which means I'm right! Kid B: That's stupid, and so is your name! Kid A: I bet your dad is a loser!
Ooh, intimidating, except she’s fighting with kids, and it’s… it’s Myan.
It’s been a while guys! Sorry for those expecting the rule 63 thing, but I dunno, I’m just not feeling it. Lame excuse, yeah. Real sorry to the one who commissioned it and everyone expecting it1 At least all 36 pages for the current episode is written up (maybe faster updates), and I have some good ideas for the next episodes.
Transcript
Kid A: Yeah, well, my dad is better than your dad! Kid B: Nu-uh!

Myan: Are you two fighting?
Myan: Cause MY dad...is better than YOURRRRR dads! Kid B: Really? Kid A: Nu-UH!
