cat pictureI Want To Draw a Cat For You is the genius idea of one man who really loves drawing cats. It works like this: you send a dude named Steve $9.95 and Steve sends you a drawing of the cat you describe. Yes, an actual drawing! On paper! (Remember paper?)

Steve's cats are posted on the I Want to Draw a Cat For You Facebook page and they come in all shapes and sizes. The requests he gets range from the very specific ("a young writer cat in tighty-whitey underwear giving a shoulder ride to an old lady cat. Writer cat says, 'Ummm... Calzone!'") to the very general ("surprise cat!"). The results are really creative: for the surprise cat, he drew "a cat that can kick just like people" and he's been known to include bonus birthday pigs.

Check out the amusing intro video for IWTDACFY after the jump, because Steve's song and dance routine is almost as amusing as his drawings.
