: In the artwork, the cats are arranged along catenary curves, which are mathematically defined by the hyperbolic cosine function ( ) rather than the standard quadratic parabola. About the Creator "Catenary Kitties" is a digital art and coding

: The "kitties" themselves were hand-drawn using Adobe Fresco , while the environment and curve-based layout were built using p5.js , a JavaScript library for creative coding. It features a wide array of math-inspired comics,

: Pressing the "p" key on the keyboard triggers motion within the sketch.
