VG Cats (short for Video Game Cats[2][3]) is a webcomic written and drawn by Canadian cartoonist Scott Ramsoomair. Published on its own website, it follows the adventures of a pair of anthropomorphic cats, who both have an interest in video games, and often play the roles of characters in popular games that are parodied in the strip.[4][5]
The VG Cats website also hosted Adventure Log, a Final Fantasy XI webcomic written and drawn by Ramsoomair, and Super Effective,[6] a webcomic parody of the Pokémon game series. Adventure Log has not been updated since 2008 and "Super Effective" was on hiatus from 2014 , recently resuming updates on September 8th, 2024.
The comic series often includes video game-based humor and satire targeting the video game industry.[7][8]
