In case you didn’t know, approximately 6.5 million pets enter U.S. animal shelters each year according to the research done by ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). By adopting a cat, versus purchasing one from a retail store or a breeder, you allow for an additional opening at an animal shelter for another pet to be adopted, thus saving 2 lives. Back in 2017, Lucas Turnbloom and his wife did exactly that as they decided to adopt a cat. Fast forward to now, they have a sweet but slightly crazy kitten as a part of their family.

The said cat has been of great inspiration to the owners as they observed the cat’s antics over the years and decided to turn these situations into funny mostly four-paneled comics. The ongoing webcomic series is titled 'How To Cat' as they describe the adventures of a black and white feline.

In case you didn't know Lucas is actually on Bored Panda as well, in his previous post where he was talking about how his comics came to be he mentioned some other interesting things about himself.

"My name is Lucas Turnbloom and I am a cartoonist from Southern California. Most people know me from my Scholastic graphic novel series 'Dream Jumper.'

In 2017, my wife and I rescued a sweet, yet rambunctious little cat. A few months later I started a webcomic loosely based on her adventures called, “How to Cat.”

"The comic was originally intended to be an inside joke for my wife and I, but she insisted that I put it on the internet and share it with the world. The strip seems to have found an audience on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter – which is incredible.

I’m so happy people have found joy in this silly little comic. I hope to continue it for years to come."

When it comes to talking about his rescue cat, here's what Turnbloom had to say, "A few years ago, I went through the process of cat adoption. She’s a very sweet kitty cat, but she’s also a little, well... crazy. Her name is Sweetie as funny as it sounds. Either way, I decided to turn the funny cats' shenanigans into a webcomic called 'How to Cat.' and as you can see it went pretty well...I think."

I usually point at the treat on the floor so she can find it easier. She seems to recognize that gesture

Apparently most dogs understanding pointing, but only about 40% of cats. I have 1 that does and 1 that doesn't.

Fun fact, cats eye unfocus the closer they are to an object so they have more issues seeing, they're meant to see better from far away.

The construction of cat's eyes prevents near vision so, yeah, they can't see it.

Because I point at the treat after I drop it, the cat points at things she wants. "Is your cat...pointing at my sandwich?" Yeah...it's a thing.

Gizzy & Thori can spot a ladybug that´s sitting on the balcony wall from inside through the closed balcony door, but they can´t spot the dry food kibbles directly in front of them on the floor...

Also cats are bad at seeing objects that do not move, but will react instinctively to any movement.

I have to lay on the ground and put my finger right next to the treat for my cat to see it. Either it's because she's older, or that's just normal 🤣

My cats pulled that trick so often with so many types of cat food that we ended up with a lot of extra cans that they didn't want. We started giving them to the neighborhood stray cat. Now we have a third, outdoor, cat who loves us more than the two spoiled creatures indoors.

My cat actually lets me sleep but he, himself, likes to get up around 6am to eat and watch the birds.

I thought my cat just did this. She only does it after I wash my hair, though.
