AHHHH! I'M THE "RACHEL". Your mom packed my order!!! I just checked and the handwriting matches! I feel so honored 😭

[@LeighEllexson]

I love this!!!

[@ActionCat2000]

You're famous! :D

[@nadyartillustration]

I was wondering about that while watching, if THE Rachel would see this 😄

[@nazerscott4185]

Nice dress dude.. Democrats finest candidates.. When a Dad gives up on their sons you get this.

[@paigenichole8316]

was just thinking while watching this how cute it would be to see your card being written out on the vid 💜

[@furrylittlepeach]

Lmao james trying to remember who we are. I love it!

[@natalieblackman366]

I think James secretly wants a name as cool as rocket 😊

[@ArtfulShelley]

lol, ya!

[@LeighEllexson]

@@natalieblackman366 hahaha he def does but always says he loves his name

[@furrylittlepeach]

Also, my favie cat: Tonka reigns supreme.

TONKA KING

[@roo288]

I’m so relieved you talked about the like animation cuz I can’t find any info on it…and I was beginning to feel ~crezy~ thank you.

[@emmettowl]

My favourite cat ever was my late grandma's cat, Elsa. She was a tabby and she was basically made of sticks. She was so tiny and so bony she looked like a light breeze would destroy her. But one time she caught a pigeon that was as big as she was AND got it through her cat flap AND it turned out the pigeon wasn't actually dead so the moment she let go it started flapping around my grandma's kitchen with this tiny made-of-sticks cat chasing it. That cat had the soul of a warrior and remains an inspiration to me.

[@DannyBrito]

the light in the new studio is so good wow.

[@devanbridson]

I really wish you could've seen me laughing at you embodying Toad while opening Apple Cheek's package! gold as always

[@ameliamellberg]

"you can do that too if you cared" by james is the funniest thing he said so far

[@leighannenight]

I've had many cats in my life. Two of which were orange boys (not related) and they were THE sweetest boys I've ever had the pleasure to live with. So chill and snuggly but also very quirky and weird. Love me an orange boy.

[@SuzyYen82]

I was also dancing the water bender dance in the end with you Leigh 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@lonnielove8452]

I love all cats! They're the best pet in all the land😻😻

[@Thebookrat]

All cats are the right kind of cat. My favorites are big, hairy beasties. Ragdolls, Maine Coons, Norwegian Forest Cats, Savannah cats. 😍

[@Thebookrat]

(also, I have 5, btw)

[@soboley8689]

Two cat family here. Elsa, a floof and Dante, a tortiseshell, both sisters but so not alike. Elsa is a laid back chill and Dante is so skittish but they're still both adorable. Your new space looks amazing and the packing clip made it look like a nice environ to work in.

[@a.o9656]

That sticker removing part bad me holding my breath!!!!!!! So nerve-wracking

[@qwer981]

I feel so empty and terrible last few months. Your videos really help me,thank you Leigh

[@smileyy6533]

I hope it gets better for you soon :)

[@ActionCat2000]

Hi Leigh! I'm so happy that you are loving the new studio, buzzy heater and all. I have two cats, a big fluffy black Angora named Ernie who looks a good bit like OwlKitty and is a total lovemuffin, and a gigantic, 18-pound Maine Coon cat named Sophie who doesn't realize how big she is and still acts like a delicate lil' princess. I used to have a lovely grey and white Angora named Spencer, who I nicknamed "Action Cat" for his amazing leaping/flying through the air skills, and that's how I got my screen name :)

[@habibadesai1071]

I love this community of artists, Leigh getting post from Apple Cheeks and watching Chey Barton vids just makes me so happy

[@soukistudio]

I grew up with always around 9 cats and always have a connection to the black cats but appearance wise Rambo takes the cake. He's ginger on the top and white on the bottom, has a mini little tail and is very round. Very much hamster vibes.

[@drawrobot]

Been binging a few of these and there’s a genuine charm to these videos I don’t see in other ones I’ve checked out. I hail from Columbus.

[@debbiedrawsfunny]

Your mom helped pack orders🥰how sweet! Okay, right now we have 2 cats and both just showed up at our home one day. It was the first time I ever took in a stray. Trixie is a tabby with a white bib and white socks (she’s a wildcard personality wise) and Ralphie is a total tomcat brown striped tabby and looks a lot like a gentle Pallas cat and has polydactyl paws, so he’s got thumbs!🤙😍I actually had to rescue him from a fox in our backyard and that’s how he came to live with us. He’s the sweetest boy and so good with our kids♥️

[@jenkemmett]

Orange kitties are my favorite. Don't tell my calico. lol! Love the new studio!

[@KatieThomasCreative]

Ohh I love the projector set up, I've been looking at getting one instead of another tv to watch in the backyard with hammocks. The new studio is coming together super nicely. 👌 My cat is part Siamese part something else that makes him more white 😄 but he has slight ear colouring like a Siamese and he is a very affectionate and chatty cat like a siamese, I love all cats though, wish they were all my besties. 😄💕

[@LeighEllexson]

I feel like cats that are part siamese are so nice babies

[@laurenimhof2602]

I relate to the short hair constant hair cuts!! just got mine cut recently and got it shorter so I won't have to get it cut again as quickly

[@monoowa]

i love when you add toad when you are editing !!! he's so cute

[@kameroneatsstars2803]

Wooo! Loved this video seemed so chill! My favorite kind of cat are calico cats

[@jacsYT]

I don’t have cats but my brother and his partner do and I love them to death. Their nicknames are Dyson (because he INHALES his food) and The Void (because we always lose track of him when he loafs on a black surface)

[@inkyfrog]

Black cats all the way! I’ve always had a black cat around growing up. In order: Sly, Otto, Arkham, and Bacon. They’re the best 😺

[@soursprout_]

I have three cats, Milo, Gracie and Oreao. They love watching the birds and tearing up cardboard.

[@miriammorris7879]

I have/love calicos! Very is sassy! Calico attitude is real! But she is literally the best thing that happen to me during covid.

[@afrobaby25]

I have not watched your vlog yet as its just started. However im so happy to see your chunky vlogs, watching and learning from your growth in your career. You are so inspiring and thank you for sharing your journey with us.

[@lujainsair2150]

My favorite cat breed !!!finally this is my time to shine 😆 i dream of getting a devon rex or selkirk rex which are both CUTE CURLY HAIRED CATS with adorable faces♡😫😫💕

[@wykeceal8]

Heck yeah this was a nice vlog to chill out with 😌 (hope that little goose is recovering well from the surgery) my family has the sweetest, laziest, round delight of a British short hair mix named Eleanor! We honestly don’t know how old she is at this point but she loves to be held in someone’s arms in a way where it looks like she’s sitting like a human??? She’s very round and very chill and we are absolutely obsessed with her!

[@hejka.zazula]

Totally love cats, for colour - I'm really sentimental about tabby cats, but I love cats in every shape and colour. Ok. The bald ones (sphinx?) are weird but still cute. And I really love maine coons - they are kinda a bit like doggos. I have a maine coon, his name is Vladislav, but most of the time I call him Vladi. He's mostly white with some black spots - kinda like a panda. Also I think your art vlogs are my favorite ones, the chill, the vibes, the little dances

[@christinasmithart5687]

Personally, i’m into the common strays. All of the cats I’ve ever had were abandoned. My first cat was an orange tabby. My current kitty is a tabby with a white underbelly. She lives with my mom right now because our rental doesn’t allow pets. She is the sweetest though and loves to snuggle.

[@stopbeingana-hole4151]

Not me calling water “wah wah” too🤣 Edit: I love stickers, but I’m afraid of committing to putting them on things and then losing them because I put it on the “wrong thing” or I want to move them. Edit 2: I love the vibe of you and your vlogs. Calming and artsy.

[@oliviarosebean]

Hey Leigh! I am in love with your new space! I just redid my own little art/work corner a couple of months ago and my goal one day is to hopefully have my own studio like this! I have been watching your videos for years and you helped to inspire me to start my own channel and share the things I make so I owe you a huge thank you! Keep up the great work!

[@sunflowerspirited4974]

Favorite breed of cat has to be Norwegian Forest Cat! Never had one but really want one, they’re so floofy. Ginger cats are my fave coloration, my first cat ever was a big ginger boi and he was my animal soulmate lol

[@cyberjoss]

i think your mom packed my order off camera bc her handwriting matches the handwriting on my card with the :) and !, she’s so cool 🥺

[@thisnthat42]

I’ve had good results getting sticky residue off using olive oil and then wash the oil off with dish soap afterwards.

[@goghfurther]

If you ever have to take stickers off again and they’re stubborn, there’s this stuff called undu that can get them off! It does smell like white out but i found it very helpful! Great video as always, love seeing Toadie’s ball flying in and out of farm lol!

[@hannahhanke1410]

Thoroughly enjoyed the clip of James’ reaction to you giving him half of ur cutie

[@emilymarkham3899]

I love calico kitties! The variations of the coloring and patterns on their fur is just so pretty! Also, I recently learned they’re also called clouded tigers 🥺 🐯 ❤️

[@eiraleoaprd]

my cats are half Russian blues but are completely black! They are super snuggly and will try to sleep on whatever Art I have splayed out on my desk lol. Love the new studio!!

[@lilyhodges1157]

3 legged ginger cat all the way! I love ginger cats, defiantly biased since I myself am ginger. But they are great and sassy with no soul. We adopted right when they removed one of his front legs(they were not sure what happened to him, but it was useless), but that does not stop him. He runs so fast when he has the zoomies and will climb the tallest bookcase!

[@BomBomProduktion]

Orange cat are my favs. Love your videoes, and Big congrtz on the New studio

[@NutCase]

I feel very seen when you asked about cats and you mention scottish folds! I love them The fluffy grey scottish folds are the cutest to me! My husband has an allergy to cats so sadly we don't have any either.

[@helceon]

your t shirt collection gives me life - I want them all haha 👌

[@ColzoArt]

Really enjoyed how chill this was! My cat was a black & white tuxedo with white paws. She was called Sox & was the best kitty ever!!

[@ashtonreece1893]

first, loved this vid thank you for being such a chill creator to watch. as for cats, i love a black cat (i have a fluffy lil demon boy) and orange tabbies cause they’re just so sweet and snuggly.

[@Danari7]

I have two cats: Sophie and Roo. Sophie is a black and white cat and is (as her name suggests) extremely smart: she plays fetch and will sit and give a paw on command. She’s gorgeous, and totally knows it. Roo is a special needs cat: he has impaired sight and liver problems. He is a tabby with a most beautiful tiger stripe pattern. He is the kindest, softest and best cat in the world. I love all animals and I love dogs so much but for me cats are different: I have felt like I know their language ever since I remember myself. Love your vlogs, Leigh! A few weeks ago I got my order from you and have hung three postcards in my office/ living room and I look at them all the time (-:

[@melokelo]

lately your studio vlogs are the only ones that i look forward to watching the most each time i see that you uploaded :’) you’re such a comfort person leigh! i could watch all of your videos and get the sense that i know you personally even if i never met you. i am living for all your art and vlogs

[@ZAY-vn4bz]

Happy you're happy in your new studio! That's awesome. I was sending you some good vibes over the past month. Glad they got to you.

[@aliciatippin464]

I recently got a promotion at work and was like…. I CAN BE A LPP!!!!!! Also saw you had a new video and I was like … ah bummer I have to wait to watch it…. Oh hold on!! I’m a LPP I can watch it now!!! ♥️♥️♥️ so pumped

[@LeighEllexson]

LPP !!!! Hahah I’ve never abbreviated it and I’m here for it

[@AndraMarieArt]

I don't have a cat but my best friend has two of the nicest cats! They are like part Russian Blue and last time I was there the cat was upset that I was holding him, but wasn't holding him like a baby on his back.

[@PinkWytchBytch]

Girl I need to take a moment to just thank you for the sheer chill vibes and relaxation this video gave me. Like no joke, things ain’t going to well right now and this video somehow gave me just the most relaxed peaceful time I’ve had for a bit now. Something about this exact atmosphere was what I needed to start letting my shit go and start some kinda healing. I know it’s random and sounds a bit silly, I just felt you deserved to be thanked for making something that managed to do a really great thing for me, which was remind me how to just BE and let myself relax. Side note: I love black cats because they’re always somehow the sweetest things ever to me, even if they’re supposed to be aggressive they always seem to love me and that in turn ended up being a sort of mutual “everyone things were bad luck let’s be buddies”

[@edelleaa]

i also get very attached to things and the ones i love always seem to break.. i had these 2 absolutely beautiful hand painted glasses, beautiful shape, beautiful art, were a gift too.. 1 broke first and within the year the other one as well... and then i broke my next favourite glass which was this deep blue color... guess i'm waiting for the next one to break now haha

[@shaikara]

I have a lovely scottish fold and a scottish straight and adore them!! In the future I would love a calico and a Maine coone as well!!

[@nicnevin6385]

I'm also allergic to cats, but I have always wanted a Maine Coon cat. They're massive and they're supposed to be the cat equivalent of dogs. They look super majestic and have the best ears.

[@ChelseaLinaeve]

ohhhh my god that quail soup mug has absolutely stolen my heart!!! are there any manufacturing marks on it I could use to try tracking it down by any chance 👀

[@LaurenceP-art]

Loved your video as always! My favourite cat is the sphynx cat! They are so cuddly and sociable, it's like all the best qualities of a cat and a dog put together :)

[@bmichele6397]

You throwing the toy randomly was everything... my cat is black, her name is Ninja... she earned it honestly

[@mystikmisfit]

appreciate the company Leigh! always feel such comfort and joy :-) + honestly, (in regards to including vid bits that didn't record the way you ideally wanted) being loose and imperfect is one of my fav things a person can be / embrace.

[@deborahmeyers551]

Loved your sketches on the page they popped! Loved the beautiful flowers in a vase artwork never heard anything like noise really. My cat is a Tabby cat 🐈 thanks for sharing Leigh 💜

[@blackbearjam]

"It's out of my hands." It's literally in your hands Leigh! hold on tight

[@ThePattiw]

Great studio! It will all come together soon enough. I love all cats, never met one I didnt love. But the prettiest cats always have some creamy coffee colour in them - so usually tortoise shells and calicos💕

[@samanthar3497]

Love watching you draw and your vlogs

[@pietradeister767]

This vlog was so chill, i loved it

[@hanaminzuka]

lovin' all the kitteeeyy cats!😻 grew up with a lot of 'em but sadly, my husband is allergic to cats too.. 😢

I have a soiled black kitty named Oliver and he's THE BEST!

[@taralynnb]

OMG I love the thumbs up effect!!

[@AnchoredArtDesigns]

Such a beautiful studio! Amazing work!

[@Finchinks]

I’m watching while walking at the gym :) catching up on sooo many videos

[@kristafernald6940]

My dream cat is a ragdoll ^^ Cause they are super sweet and snuggly ^^ I am also quit fond of calico's:) But my favorite cat is our black cat Luna! She's the best cat I've ever met! She's so sweet snuggly and playful! She's clumsy and loves to play fetch☺

[@cinderbonetattoo]

I love when ya post a new video :) also I have a black cat named Apollo and he’s an absolute tank but also ridiculously cuddly and talkative. I also have a tabby and white cat named Luna who plays fetch with hair ties, loves pets and has such a sweet face. Ironically I did not name either of them!

[@hellokikijapan]

Just liked your video to just see the party animation, and loved it. I think I will like more videos going forward. Thanks!

[@tomkeundjona]

My favorite cats are my own little grey tiger like balls of fluff. They are rescues so I don‘t know the exact breed but they are as cute as can be. Loving your new studio! ✨

[@ibelieveinxinwei]

my heart shattered when i saw Tiffany's other mug arrive broken at your place :')

[@madelinecedillo4821]

Chill and lovely vlog :) It was so cute seeing your mom help package orders. So I have two cats! I have a black tabby named Moe. He has the markings of a tabby but his coat is black white and grey. Also, the root of his hair is white so it's a bit trippy when I give him a bath because he turns into a white cat. I also have a longhaired tortoiseshell cat named Yoshi! I got her fairly recently so she's still a little jumpy but when she wants to be she's a huge cuddle bug and biscuit maker.

[@laurenadams6245]

I too have short hair and also et it cut super short each time. That way, the ideal look will last longer...and I like saving money.

[@katiefarmer3474]

We have three kitties and two of them (Conrad and Hamilton Porter George) are orange tabbies and one is a Persian mix (Wilkes). I think orange tabbies are my favorite but I’d love some orange maine coons one day!

[@SwanCreates]

I felt that with the stickers on the water bottle. I'm terrified to use my precious stickers on anything just in case I have to get rid of them, yet I can't stop myself from collecting them 🤣

[@Rec426]

These videos always gives me inspiration. Was just working on my childrens manuscript while watching this :) And my favourite cat… I’m more a dog person but I’d say a ginger Tom cat cos that’s the breed I had growing up before we got dogs :)

[@enbeeartist]

I love my Tortie, she's an absolute gremlin that somehow gets into the worse kind of trouble i wouldn't expect. She has figured out how to escape my house into closed off basement, crawls into the empty space of my ceiling, and my least favorite was when she sat on my front porch for several hours and waited till 1 am to call out to me. Absolutely love her, but a gremlin

[@halidramzan2803]

I'm not the only one that shuffles through Leigh's videos till a new one comes out right? 😆

[@_alicenoah]

I have six indoor cats and feeding 2 strays cause my mom's a cat lady eheh. All of them are rescued and named after alcohol drinks. Btw lovely video! your new studio is siiiiick

Tortoise shell cats are so cute. They look like patchwork kitties. Lol. All cats are special.

[@elliea6460]

Both of my cats were strays :) one of them asked for help and the other one was very little to be on the streets by its own so i took her in. They're ying and yang and they make my life happier 💜 i hope i can take good care of them enough so they can live up to their 30s 😂

I am so glad you changed the Patreon structure because I am PSYCHED that I signed up in time to get that grumpy guy.

I use InShot to edit reels on my phone and I LOVE IT

[@mekagooden4915]

Love how your new studio is coming together. James get on those blinds lol. I love all cats, I'm also allergic but my daughter absolutely is cat obsessed so now we share our home with two silly cats. Ive become somewhat immune to them and don't react to them that much. I don't let them into my own personal room though and I think that helps also. Anyways Im off to watch your podcast! until next time happy creating.

[@highly.katheinated]

I did like the video just because you reminded me it throws a party 😂😂

Amazing vlog as always :D We currently have two cats! Pusifer, almost 14 years old, calico, a little fat, very soft and very needy. Omega, 9 years old, tiger stripey with white areas, not fat at all and also very soft and needy. They are our little shadows.

[@taliseella]

Good lord those stickers mostly came off the water bottle like a dream 🤤 Loved your vlog as per usual Leigh you do such a nice job on them 😍

i love orange and white cats they’re THE CUTEST. But i have two black cats and their fur is so soft and i love petting them :’) they’re named comet and pepper!
