Also known as: Alastor Cat · Cat Alastor

Cursed Cat Alastor is a fan-created character from the *Hazbin Hotel* fandom that reimagines the demon Alastor as a small, mischievous cat with red fur, sharp teeth, and black tufts on its ears and tail. Korean artist @coma_0423 designed the character in February 2024, posting a fan comic to X (Twitter) that quickly spread across the platform and inspired a wave of fan art on X, Tumblr, and TikTok within days1.

Overview

Cursed Cat Alastor takes the imposing Radio Demon from Vivienne Medrano's *Hazbin Hotel* and shrinks him down into a scrappy, feral-looking cat. The design keeps Alastor's signature color scheme (red fur, sharp grin) while adding animal features like black-tipped ear tufts and a fluffy tail. The "cursed" label comes from the character's slightly unhinged appearance, a common aesthetic in internet fan art where beloved characters get redrawn in deliberately off-kilter or chaotic styles1.

The character typically appears in short comic strips or standalone illustrations showing it causing trouble, being reluctantly adopted, or interacting with other *Hazbin Hotel* characters in domestic settings.

On February 25, 2024, Korean artist @coma_0423 posted a *Hazbin Hotel* fan comic to X in which Charlie tells her father Lucifer that they're going to raise a cat that looks like Alastor1. The comic showed the cat version of Alastor in a series of everyday situations, playing up the contrast between Alastor's menacing personality and a small cat's antics. The original Korean-language post picked up over 3,900 likes within its first week1. Later that same day, the artist shared a translated English version of the comic to reach a wider audience.

How to Use This Meme

Cursed Cat Alastor is typically used in fan art and short comics rather than as a reaction image or template. Common approaches include:

- Drawing the cat version of Alastor in domestic scenes (eating, sleeping, knocking things off tables) while retaining his sinister grin - Creating comic strips where other *Hazbin Hotel* characters interact with or try to manage the cat - Mixing "cute cat" energy with Alastor's canonical menace for comedic contrast - Adding the character's distinctive red fur, sharp teeth, and black ear tufts to any cat illustration for a quick reference

The format works best when it leans into the gap between a tiny house cat and a powerful demon overlord.

Fun Facts

The original comic was posted in Korean before @coma_0423 translated it to English the same day, giving it immediate access to the global *Hazbin Hotel* fandom1.

The character's rapid adoption by other artists, with major fan art pieces dropping within a week of the original post, mirrors how *Hazbin Hotel* fandom tends to latch onto fan-created designs almost as quickly as official ones.

The "cursed" descriptor follows a broader internet convention where fan art that's slightly unsettling or chaotic gets labeled "cursed" as a badge of honor rather than criticism.
