Mine usually want me to pet them and they stand just a finger-tip length out of reach. 👉 🐈
Yes, they live among giants! Got to be gentle with the little ones, ours does this too! 😅🤣😂
Basic positions of a cat?? standing, half loaf, full Loaf... and pancake
Once again, we reached out to Lucas, who shared what has changed since his last post.
“I’ve had a lot more readers follow HOW TO CAT since I last talked with Bored Panda. Sweetie the cat and I are very grateful and happy for the new fans!”
The artist also shared what a typical day is like for him when he’s working on a new comic.
“A lot of my comics writing involves me just sitting around and thinking. Or walking around and thinking. Sometimes I overthink things, and the ideas don’t flow. Then the cat knocks over the lamp, or a cup of coffee, and BAM — inspiration hits!”
Also, any clean laundry on the bed that hasn't been folded yet.

It seems to be male feet. He LIVES with 2 females, and doesn't seem to bother with their sox or shoes...it's just mine. I'm the only male in the house...Driver IS a male, so I'm not sure if it makes a difference.

We were wondering if Lucas has ever scrapped a comic idea after starting it, to which he replied: “Oh, absolutely. I always aim to have no more than four panels. I find if I can’t get to the punchline by panel three or four, the joke doesn’t really work. I admire people who tell long-form comics well. I just can’t do it."
Even if they don’t have to go! Sometimes I think they don’t like they way I rearrange the topography of the litter in the box, and have to jump in and scratch around to get it back to the way it’s “supposed” to be. You know, with hills and valleys that are more conducive to, um, elimination, than the smooth and even surface I leave it in after sifting out the you know.
My cat doesn't even have the decency to do that she stands right next to me and watches me çlean and jumps in as soon as I'm standing up.
More than once on my way to work, crossing a grassy area under some trees, I encountered a pair of neatly folded pigeon wings -- just the wings -- still attached to each other at the back. The tower hawks had struck again.
We had 2 cats brothers. Jake the wuss of the pair couldn't catch anything. He came home one day with a magpie skeleton with wings with feathers on which had obviously been on the ground for some considerable time. He was so proud of himself and dropped it at my feet 😂🤗

“When I was a young kid, Peanuts, Garfield, The Far Side, and Calvin and Hobbes were what got me into comics. These days, I adore Beetlemoses, Fowl Language, The Awkward Yeti, Sarah Scribbles, and Chris Hallbeck. Those people really are the best of the best.”
What drives me crazy is that they deliberately walk BEHIND things on a shelf even if the object isn't close to the edge.
Then, after it breaks, they crouch on the shelf and look at it like a scientist observing the results of an experiment.

And yet if we dare watch them on the litter box, it is a horrible offense.
"My human always gets it wrong. Where's the burying? Where's the accidental spillage? Well... sometimes he gets that part right."

McEVIL and the TWISTED SISTER, comes out on March 11, 2025. It features a sassy TALKING cat called Mrs. Cuddles! I’d love for people to grab the book so that the series goes out with a bang!
My piebald colored boy has been getting the zoomies but on the foot of my bed 2 hours before I get fully up for the day because he wants 2nd breakfast early 🤣
I have to stay real still and not move my feet or there will be claws. Sometimes I'll get up and just give him 2nd breakfast to save my toes🤣
Load More Replies...My little girl is a compulsive tidier - she will go in after the boys and further clean/cover. Fifteen minutes of her pawing and scraping at the plastic of the litter box every single time - drives me bonkers!
But why does that involve a vault off my stomach...by my 17 pound cat???
Load More Replies...We literally played with a balled up piece of paper last night while alll her cat toys just laying there.
I dropped half a shell of a pistachio. Best toy Sara Connor had for about an hour
My oldest cat adores strings, so we bought him a cat wand... He didn't even bat at it. But he will play with a literal straw!
Craft-size pipe cleaners and crimped bottle caps.
Load More Replies...Saw a meme where a owner bought 3 different beds and the cat still preferred a small amazon box. Lol
The bed was always the scariest, but I never knew if I should wear thick jeans or not to protect my ankles.
This is a must for a clawy kitty! cawo-frott...medium.jpg
Just like Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy..
I have to put a blanket or towel over my pillow so I won't get allergies from mine when I'm at work.
My cousins cat does this. The cat tree is a sidetable
This is a sign of extreme trust. Shut are allowed to know them by smelling . They can tell you things through odor and the butt is vulnerable too - so, they are saying I trust you and let you know how I am (but yes, for us humans but so nice)
Load More Replies...Hmmmm… I’ve never actually read or seen these so thanks for giving me insight cat version
Why are you hating on I_Am_So_???? What did they do wrong
I love the How To Cat series! Hilarious because they're true and so well drawn.
They missed the one where the cat sits on the threshold of an open door during mosquito season and ponders life's mysteries.🙀
