When Lucas Turnbloom and his wife rescued a sweet but rambunctious little cat back in 2017, their lives changed forever. Now, Lucas’ adorable black and white ‘How To Cat’ comics, which are loosely based on the adventures of Sweetie the cat, have become a global hit and we’ve fallen in love with the cute but crazy feline.
The artist revealed that his comics started out as an inside joke between him and his wife. However, she insisted that he put the illustrations up on the net for everyone to enjoy. Things took off from there!
When you’re done upvoting and enjoying Lucas’ newest comics, check out his previous posts on Bored Panda right here, as well as here. Happy scrolling!

Lucas and his wife found Sweetie at a shelter after she had been in and out of several homes. According to the artist, it took the cat around a month to open up and relax around her new owners.
According to Lucas, Sweetie is, well, a very sweet cat. However, she can also get a bit crazy with her shenanigans. Fortunately, it’s a positive thing. It brings a lot of joy to the artist and his family. What’s more, the catto is a constant inspiration for Lucas’ comics.
“I’m so happy people have found joy in this silly little comic. I hope to continue it for years to come,” Lucas said earlier about his desire to keep on drawing and making all of us cat and humor-lovers happy for as long as possible.
Before “How To Cat” took off, Lucas was mostly known for his Scholastic graphic novel series ‘Dream Jumper.’ You can check out the first volume right here.
Lucas considers himself to be an artist, cartoonist, illustrator, author, and guitarist. He, his wife, two sons, and Sweetie all live in San Diego, in Southern California.
Well, I have more than one cat, so the weird one does go for the toy...
I don't know why but Imagined the cat as some kind of bouncy Pokemon lol
My cat gave people a great Zoom close-up of her nostrils a few weeks back. Yeah. This.
Every time! Or if we sit on the floor to play a board game, she's all over it and us (oh this must be cardboard square cat patting time!)
The first caption is wrong. My cat comes home to vomit, and goes back ouside again directly after he's finished.
And cat hair when ur patting or brushing them. RIP my eyes and nose
Our cat Taques does this and usually gets away with it. The building where I live only has six apartments, so we all know each other. Each apartment has a storage room on the top floor of the building, where there's also a large terrace. Guess where my cat scurries off to if we're too late putting our foot in his way?
hold cat gentle like hamburgerAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH
The bowl is clearly empty, try filling that centre bit with some food.
Our cat did this exact same thing when we gave her a new collar. :)
It is only rarely that I read such a long post, but this I did and it was totally worth it. I AM DYING OF LAUGHTER. These are so perfect, spot-on, the punchline is so awesomely delivered and it is beautifully drawn. I used to have cats, I am currently leasing my neighbour's cat and a few strays and these are all just breathtakingly wonderful. Wishing you and your cat many more beautiful and funny days!!!!
I love how Sweetie is illustrated. Her lines are simple, but she is so cute.
