Cat Ladies - Abrams, April 7th, 2020
​​By Susi Schaefer

Princess keeps very busy taking care of her ladies: Molly, Millie, Maridl, and Merthel. She has them properly trained. She makes sure they stay groomed and glam. And she takes them on errands so they don’t buy the wrong treats. But one day a mysterious stray appears: There is a little girl in Princess’s favorite napping spot! Princess storms off to find an even better spot for her catnap when she runs into trouble. When the stray comes to her rescue, Princess realizes maybe she could make room for a fifth lady...after proper training,
​of course.

"This is an entertaining spin on the crazy cat lady trope, and viewers are sure to fall in love with Princess and her motley crew. Schaefer’s digital art is brought to life by added hand-painted textures, resulting in lively characters dancing across a warm and inviting world."
