The Tuxedo Cat and My Childhood Story ✨

  

Yeserday, I came across an incredibly beautiful cat on the street.
In Korea, every stray cat seems to have a personality of their own. Most of them quietly run away or keep a safe distance when they see people. But once in a while, there’s a special one who approaches you, rubs against your legs, or even flops down to show you their belly.
It’s a rare moment, but it feels truly special when it happens.
If someone starts feeding them at a regular time, these clever cats will show up right on schedule.
A cat that first came alone might even bring a friend along next time.

Last night, I saw a cat moving cautiously. Our eyes met.  👀

Big round eyes 👀 and a tiny pink nose 💕—aren’t they just adorable?
In Korea, cats with black and white fur—especially when the black stands out more—are often called “tuxedo cats” 🐱🎩. It’s because they look like they’re wearing a tiny tuxedo!
We even have a tuxedo cat featured in our illustrations, too 🖼️🐾. 

Don’t you think they share the same confident gaze? 😼✨
Our character cat is all dressed up—fancy clothes, a crown, and even high heels 👑👗👠...
This actually comes from a memory from my own childhood.
When I was in my early teens, I started to get curious about my mom’s makeup and pretty clothes 💄👒.
Whenever my parents weren’t home, I would secretly try on her makeup and dress up in adult outfits.
There was a certain awkwardness—it didn’t quite fit my age—but I remember being fascinated by how beautiful it all looked 💫.

Actually, my little brother used to secretly join me in this little ritual, too 🤭💄👦🏻.
This illustration captures that playful, secret world we shared as kids—a world of curiosity, imagination, and dress-up fun ✨👗👑.
It’s a glimpse into our childhood memories, where even a crown and high heels felt like magic 🪄💫.
Here’s the full illustration! 🎨🐾
