Sunny The Inkling Cat

Abigail “Abby” Howardhttps://www.instagram.com/sunnytheinklingcat/ (born: https://www.deviantart.com/sunnythecat3/gallery), better known online as Sunny The Inkling Cat, is an American animator and voice actress residing in Palm Bay, Florida. She is dedicated to making fan-animated projects relating to the Splatoon video game series (and sometimes other video games) with Source Filmmaker as her computer-animation software.

Her videos consist of animations featuring her custom-created inksona model. Because Sunny loves cats, her sona is depicted with cat ears and a tail where she occasionally calls her sona a “cataling”. Sunny is known for her admiration of being a child at heart. Most of her older animations were normally about her tendencies of shrinking and hugging her friends as part of her childlike innocence. Some of her videos feature voice acting from Sunny herself as well as other actors while others would use the Splatoon inkling noises for the dialogue. Later animations feature her in a new updated inksona with a Mario-themed hat, whiskers, and other minor outfit changes.
Her first video released on July 16, 2018 under the title “(SFM Splatoon) Octoling!? Give Me That OctoBrush!”. The 13 second animation featured original characters by Sunny where an octoling sneaks into someone’s house and gets wacked with an “octobrush”. Sunny appears in the video in her early inksona form as a witness. This animation was surprisingly darker compared to her later animations that were more silly and childlike.https://youtu.be/18SjyefVWZM?si=cl65KFhwoLSm5uvy
On July of 2019, Sunny made a birthday collab for her 18th birthdayhttps://youtu.be/XvakXJLKZE8?si=MCdt-FSn7Q6EALx1 featuring several community members wishing Sunny a happy birthday with fan art, rendered pictures, and animations. Not long after this collab, she was locked out of her account for a while due to possible false accusations with YouTube’s terms of service. Many of her later videos from mid 2019 to early 2023 were uploaded to publicly accessible links to her Google Drive and Vlare before the website shut down in 2021 and were advertised frequently on her Twitter/X account. Four years later on April 27, 2023, she won an appeal and returned to her YouTube channel. Some time in mid-2023 her computer broke and has been on a hiatus since.
==Upcoming projects==
Despite her hiatus, Sunny has two projects planned when she gets a new working computer.
* Sunny’s 1,000 Subs Collab (an appreciation collab for reaching 1,000 subscribers on YouTube).
* Cat Animation Presents: Splatoon The Movie (a personal fan-animated movie about the Splatoon game, announced on Twitter/X).
==Trivia==

* Sometimes her sister helps her manage her YouTube channel and social media.https://www.deviantart.com/sunnythecat3
* Sunny is a fan of DreamWorks as her Twitter/X username says “IHeartDreamWork”.
* Sunny had made a 20th birthday collab in 2021, but due to being locked out of her YouTube channel at the time, it was posted on Twitter/X instead linked to Google Drive. The collab was also a lot shorter than the one for her 18th birthday.
