Erebus Anomaly, affectionately known as Felix, has captured attention online as a world record-holding tabby cat and an unusual assistant in the world of pottery.
Felix became a viral sensation after joining ceramic artist Catherine Przenioslo at the pottery wheel, where his curious involvement transformed the creative process into an internet favourite.
Rather than simply watching from the sidelines, Felix became part of the artistic process, earning recognition as a charming “pawterry” assistant. His paw prints were incorporated into Catherine’s ceramic creations, giving each piece a distinctive connection to the famous feline. Videos and images of Felix participating in the pottery-making process quickly attracted attention, combining the appeal of handmade ceramics with his playful personality.
The popularity of Felix proved to be more than just a social-media trend. A special collection featuring his paw prints reportedly sold out in around 10 minutes, demonstrating the remarkable demand generated by his online following. The rapid sell-out turned the collaboration between artist and cat into an unexpected success story.
Known formally as Erebus Anomaly, Felix’s world-record status adds another extraordinary chapter to his story. His combination of record-breaking recognition, viral popularity and participation in ceramic art has made him an unusual star in both the pet and creative communities. From leaving paw prints on pottery to winning fans around the world, Felix proves that sometimes an artist’s most memorable assistant can come with four paws.
