After you get a cat, some things change forever. Gift wrapping is one of them. Luckily, Nick Filippou from Baltimore, Maryland, has created a comprehensive cat comic guide, explaining this complex task to all the newbie feline owners. “Right now, I have one silly cat, Minnie,” the artist behind i iz cat told Bored Panda. “Minnie formerly was a feral cat from Little Flower Rescue, and I got to meet her as a volunteer. I fell in love immediately. She too has a clipped ear like the kitty in my comics.”
“I had another former feral, named Sylvia, who sadly passed away last year,” Nick said. “She was a tortoiseshell cat with three legs. I adopted both of them at the same time about four years ago. Sylvia had some serious tortitude… but she was a loyal and very cute cat. I miss her every day.”
“Minnie is the sweetest and most talkative cat I had ever met. She’s very playful, and everyone who meets her just falls in love. She’s also very mischievous… and the inspiration for my funny comics! We always catch her trying to open cabinets, knock things off of tables, and she even climbed our Christmas tree this year, which made for a pretty cute drawing.”
“She’s also is a little famous on YouTube, with her ‘Ya Hungry?‘ video compilation with over 4 million views.”
“I’ve always enjoyed drawing cute doodles, and I decided to start drawing my cat as a comic about two years ago,” the artist added.” He even self-published his first comic book on Amazon, ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas, As Told By The Cat last year.”

People were quick to react to the humorous tutorial
To the people who suggest to put the cat in another room: if I put my cat in another room, it grabs the door (the door has parts that can be grabbed, all my doors are like that, wood and glass) with her claws and roughly shakes the door while meowing as loud as she can. It feels and hears like during a 7.0 earthquake. And trust me, no one can wrap gifts on a 7.0 earthquake.
Mine can open every door in the house in under 10 seconds.

My cat doesn't mess with me while I'm actually wrapping the presents, she rips them all up once they're under the tree. Little devil...
My senior cat passed away and I got a kitten. Now I haven’t had a kitten in 15 years and this is her first Christmas and I believe I’ve forgotten a lot!! My kitten is like your cat. She didn’t bother me wrapping but once they were under the tree the tissue paper was flying and boxes chewed up. She even climbed my tree 3 times that I know of. How that tree has managed to stay looking this good is amazing but I can’t say the same for my presents!! But I wouldn’t trade her for the world.

Step 58: stick a bow on the cat's flank. Wrap QUICKLY while cat is distracted.
This is just so relatable. I used to read the "Sunday Times" ( broadsheet in the UK). I usually sat on the floor to spread it out. My cat was on it is seconds, would have to shove him left to right to read the next page then remove him to turn the page and repeat for about 40 pages. What is it with cats and paper?
Paper, books, homework, computers, crafts/hobbies... They just want all your attention for themselves :3

I always crumple some decoy paper and periodically toss it around the room to keep our 5 kitties from "helping" me wrap gifts.
So relatable... I love my cheeky kitties. I miss them every day at work.
Step 3 "Give away cat in anger" Step 4 "run to get cat back cuz u regret giving her away" Step 5 "lay out new wrapping paper"
Hi Bored Pandas! I’m the comic creator. You should check out ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas, As Told By The Cat! http://a.co/d/bW701Bz
Everyone suggesting disposing of the cat during wrapping clearly never had a a cat :P It's the best joy when your felines "help" you out by running off with packages, eating ribbons and playing with leftover bits of paper. I wouldn't take the fun away from them :D
Go online, order gift and have it shipped to recipient. Of course you do have to get your cat off the keyboard.
OMG don't even get me started on trying to add ribbon. Just don't bother.
I just move the cat (or cats in this case) gently and after a few times they let it be. Are my gifts filled with cat hair? Consider that as a bonus.
One, nothing wrong with her Two, nothing wrong with her Three, nothing wrong with her Four, nothing wrong with her One, something's got to give Two, something's got to give Three, something's got to give now. It's you.
