Doctor Mew is a Doctor Who fan art piece by comics artist, fan artist and scientific illustrator Jenny Parks.

Background
Parks started drawing cat versions of people since about age 11 or 12. Parks has a Bachelor's degree in Illustration and a graduate degree in scientific illustration. In a CNET interview with Bonnie Burton, Parks said "Years later, after I graduated from art school, I decided to have some fun and re-draw cat versions of all of the Doctors, which I first did when I was in high school, and was also years before the new series of Doctor Who started in 2005." Parks said her fan art career took off with a table at the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con where she had Doctor Mew buttons and posters.

Reception
In an overview of Phoenix Comicon 2016, Catster's Kate Benjamin said "her collection of pop culture characters as cats never disappoints, especially the portraits of Doctor Mew." Visual News's Jessica Czeck said Doctor Mew made Jenny Parks "internet famous." Catster's Phillip Mlyner described the title of the piece as "pun-tastic."
