(Fernando Alfonso III, reporter at the Daily Dot)

I Am Pusheen the Cat is an adorable collection of short comics that are based on a series of internet memes that have become wickedly popular (and for good reason!). If it were possible to die of maximum cuteness and hilarity, I probably would've done so over this brief read.” (
