Update CAT IL v10 - (CAT_NAI_v2:0.6) x (IL_v2:0.4)
Update CAT IL v9 - (CAT_NAI_v2:1.0) x (AolaStyle:0.5)
Update CAT IL v8 - (CAT_NAI_v2:1.0) x (EnergyCAT:0.3)
Update CAT IL v7 - (CAT_NAI_v2:1.0) x (Unreleased_CosmicCuteStyle_Lora:0.6)
Update CAT IL v5 - (CAT_Illustrious_v4:0.5) x ((NAI x IL):0.5)
Update NAI v2 - This is (CAT_Illustrious_v4:0.5) x (NAI:0.5) so that its half and half. This way its closer to NAI's flexibility and knowledge than v1 but still maintains the high quality style of CAT.
Update NAI v1 - This is v4 merged with NAI in order to gain some of the Natural Language prompting abilities of NAI. This version should be compatible with NoobAI, Illustrious, and even a few Pony Loras. (There are several Pony Loras used in my showcase).
(rejected) Update v5 - Is more flexible with other styles and cleaner but loses the style of v4 so I'm going keep v4 as onsite generation. Here is a comparison of v5 and my baseline: https://civarchive.com/images/64724098
Description
Created by training a Lora on images generated by CAT and merging that Lora with WAI-NSFW-illustrious-SDXL v6 at a factor of 0.7

Congrats on this model! I'll test it out soon!
Thanks! Your post is very cute!
t produces very cute images very well. First of all, I made some images, and very satisfied.
Thanks! Your images were very cute! Seeing your art made me very glad I made checkpoint.
My kids (who love their cat! and watching her play around the holiday tree) have a fave joke, combining both themes Cats and Christmas:
"Why was the cat afraid of the Christmas tree? Because of its bark". Ha, a classic.
edit:y'know what, I'll make that joke the theme of a pic I'll post here.
edit edit:nopes, turns out "cat making joke under xmas tree" prompt doesnt come out so cool ;D
so I settled for more generic cat under xmas tree.
Heh that made me chuckle. I'm definitely going to force my friends to listen to that joke lol
Thanks for the joke and post!
@CitronLegacy Yeah, anytime you need corny jokes, just ask my kids!
(Apparently our kitten is very inspirational, cuz most of their jokes revolve around her.)
@ravemry9 Nice! I'll keep that in mind the next time I want to commission a joke XD
What’s a cat’s favorite Christmas movie? The Santa Claws! 😹
Loool
Honestly that sounds like a good Christmas movie.
John: A group of old men with long beards like Santa Claus climbed a mountain for Christmas.
Bob: Yeah, so?
John: But a fire broke out on the mountain they were climbing.
Bob: So what happened?
John: It burned deliciously.
Bob: Hey, what a terrible thing to say.
John: No, I mean the meat we brought for the barbecue.
Bob: What the heck, that's what it was. And the old people?
John: Of course, they had nine lives.
The video is still up on youtube, you know.
My native language is Japanese, so I'm sorry if I didn't translate DeepL well.
Lol this sounds interesting!
Please link the Youtube video I'd like to hear it in Japanese.
I'm not good at Japanese but I guess I'll understand the tone and delivery.

This is a foreign youtube channel I often watch, not my own video channel.
The videos on this channel are very impressive with the bold cooking compared to Japanese BBQ.
When I was thinking of a joke, I thought of Santa Claus' beard and the people cooking in it. it is a famous channel from the early days of YouTube, and I used to watch it reprinted on the Japanese video site niconico.
@novhero Nice! this looks like a cool channel! This makes me want to cook some BBQ or grill something!
I miss those days when it was easy to reprint between Youtube and NicoNico. Back in the day I used to reprint Touhou content from NicoNico to Youtube like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNFW5ic6_Jg
This is awesome! I've started to use this checkpoint recently. It creates high quality and vibrant colourful anime images.
This is my first time using an illustrious model. It's a shame that there are not as many loras available yet.
Thank you! I really appreciate the feedback. Glad you enjoyed it!
I have no doubt that the community will build an excellent collection soon. There will probably be thousands of great Illustrious Loras in a few months.
Until then, try using SDXL models. I've found that about 75% of the SDXL Loras I tested are are compatible with Illustrious.
@CitronLegacy after testing some more, I also found that it is versatile enough that it can do many characters really well without a lora. In fact, some loras can obscure the art style and lower the image quality.
@im_new_to_this Thanks for all the thorough testing! I can't take credit for all the characters as Illustrious in general has an amazing knowledge of characters.
I agree. I've also see that sometimes Loras can mess up the style or details (like lips or eyes) and its better to just use the checkpoint by itself.
If you really want it use a Lora it can help to lower the CFG. I often use CFG of 5 when Loras are messing up details.
@CitronLegacy I found this useful guide on how and when to use character loras in illustrious: https://civitai.com/articles/7918/illustrious-and-the-use-of-character-lora
It helped me a lot!
I think this model is very compatible with Buzz Generator and Text Generator 😆😆
Nice! I'm glad you said that. I think art using Buzz Generator would be a fun theme for one of my weekly Bounty Competitions.
I just published some Eeveelution gijinkas/human versions! Let me know your favorites! :)
They are so cute! I really like Eevee, Jolteon, Glaceon, and Sylveon.
Welcome to CivitAI. 🎉I'm looking forward to your future posts!
@CitronLegacy Thank you for the tips! ❤
@TinierFart My pleasure. Thanks for the cute art! :)
I posted four images of my pokemon OC but two of them got flagged as 'under review' although she was wearing nothing bad, I'm waiting for the opinion of the human moderators for now. Don't worry this will be solved!
The post with Baker Sylveon is very cute!
Images getting flagged for no reason happens a lot.
For example this image got flagged as XXX for "Explicit Male Nudity" even though there are no people in the image lol

I really love CAT actually! I love how I can generate characters without needing LORAs as long as I add additional details describing a character! Good job! :)
Thanks! I can't take credit for Illustrious base. All Illustrious checkpoints should have knowledge of all these characters because Illustrious is trained on the Danbooru 2023 dataset.
It’s a great checkpoint. One of my go-to standards
Made a few more Eevee girls - as you can tell it's my favorite pokemon ;3
Eevee is very cute so that's a good favorite!
Happy new years!
Happy New Years! 🎉
Hope you have an amazing 2025!
