From the expression on the rescuee’s (presumably Kliban’s) face, he’s being “rescued” from getting work done, as even non-SuperCats often do by sitting on the paper, reclining on the keyboard, etc.
Cute cats have rescued the artist from obscure poverty. He doesn’t look that happy about it.One could argue that cats also did the same for Edward Gorey, after he did the illustrations for T.S.Eliot’s Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats.
I once had a cat muse, Wilamena the Radio Cat. She would look at me like I was about to do something extraordinary and I felt obligated. Got a lot of art done in those days.

Super cat here to save the day. Fur therapy does help. So do the purrs.

All cats have superpowers. What’s the first thing you want to do when you see a cat? Pick it up and cuddle it. That’s their superpower.

I wept for the memories. Blessing upon Hap Kliban forever.
