Sunnyville is a SliceOfLife saga about an [[FunnyAnimal anthropomorphic cat]] named Robert "Rusty" Duncan who moves [[FishOutOfWater from a big city into a totally alien environment]] - a small, remote village. After exploring the woods, he runs across Samantha "Sam" Macgregor, another anthropomorphic cat and [[CountryMouse country girl]]. From there, the two embark on all kinds of day-to-day adventures.
As of early 2014, two whole trade paperbacks exist, collecting seven whole stories. Plus,
the entire [[http://sunnyvillestories.com/free-episode/ first episode]] is free to read on the creator's blog.
