Extra Ordinary tells the story of Li, a Chinese girl who lives in New Zeland with her boyfriend Jordan and her cat Shoelace.
That's pretty much it.
Everyday we get treated to Li's quirky habits and interactions with her cat and boyfriend, usually involving cats in some way. It is pencil-drawn and very cute most of the time. Or always. It could be seen as a typical Slice of Life 4-panel comic, only sometimes it borders on the surreal.
It can be read here.
It doesn't seem to have a definite updating schedule, but it's updated quite often.
