I wanted to draw how I see not-cats so I picked my starter cat as my muse and got to work! Here's what I ended up doodling!
My headcanons for not-cats is that they're actually a lot like otters, with their stout legs, large heads, dark eyes, dexterous paws, and bi-quad nature. I drew my starter, Sophie, with a more otter-like body type with only a few changes to be more cat-like. The longer, curly fur for one and the more visible ears. All in all, I quite like my headcanons and plan to draw more not-cats like this. Perhaps I'll even open an art-shop if theres demand for it.
