I don't remember redcoats having such elaborate designs on their 'hats'. Did they?

Oh yes British Army dress ranged a lot more in the 18th century then what people think.

There were regulations but at the same time it was up to the Colonel on how his men looked and what regulations he listened to and what he ignored.
Also hats depends on what company they were with, characters in my comic are in the Light Infantry which often had caps like this (4th foot look more plain IMO compared to other light companies) and then Grenadiers with their bearskins.
Then there was the battlion and they were the ones in cocked hats, the common british regular. Even then how they wore their hats, tapping, size and details of the uniform ranged.

Also depended on how cheap the Colonel was on if he used the money on his men or on himself.

18th century didn’t really have a uniformed army as people think even the shades of red wool ranged (which I show with in the pages)

Ah. So, why did you decide to depict cats in the place of humans?

Because I think it's fun,
draws those in that are not interested in historical fiction/educational work
and to appeal to a younger audence.

Long explanation is on the website FAQ I have linked too below.
