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!

My cat may be deaf and senile yet she is blessed with a magical six sense to appear out of thin air when it is lunch or dinner time.

My cat. Our tortie. She can spot food on a plate at 50 yards, but not a treat under her nose!

I've read that cats have a harder time seeing close objects. I don't know if that is true or not.

My cat comes up to me for pets... Then stays jusssssst out of reach. And glares at me.
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 had to put prescription eyedrops in our huge male cat's eyes when my partner was away. So I thought doing it on the bathroom sink counter and rewarding him witg treats after was a good idea. Now he thinks that being on that counter means getting a treat. Forgets the eyedrop part.

Wonder if this will be my cat since it's going to be her first christmas? As for my other cat, he avoids the tree like its a demon that will end him but has no problem with outside trees.

“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.

Oddly, my cats have gotten into the habit of either burying nothing on the opposite side of the cat box, or swiping up the sides of the box where there’s no litter, while leaving their “deposits” totally uncovered. Not to mention the amount of litter outside the box.

I've learned from experience that there is a very limited window for belly-rubs when it comes to cats. Pet the belly for a couple minutes and your rewarded with sweet, chonky fuzz and purrs. Wait a minute longer and you have little daggers of death caught in your arm.

When your cat has eaten grass outside (to aid digestion) try to wait until they throw up before you let them back in. Although with me it's usually, "Ahhh it's started raining, poor puss want to come in." Cat comes in. Cat barfs up breakfast with small piece of grass in it.

My cat used to do this every day. I found when I started feeding her a little wet food every day (with dry being available all the time), it cut down on the puking.

THE BEST WAY TO GET CAT TO USE SCRATCHING POST: Use it yourself. Run your nails down it several times. So far, I am batting a thousand with this method. Whatever I "claim", they have to claim.

Nonsense, our 2 own cats plus a parttime cat all used it perfectly, never scratched anything other than those poles. Heck the even wore them out,... 4 poles in 18 years.

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?

In the wild cats are actually very vulnerable when they use the bathroom. So them staying with you while you go is a way of protecting you. They do it in cat colonies. So no cat gets jumped when going potty.

We fixed this problem by buying an electric water fountain. One of our cats was obsessed with dunking his favorite toys in the water bowl and then tipping it over. It all stopped with the fountain.

I've had cats who will only drink filtered, who will only drink puddles, who will only drink after they make sure they've stuck a paw in to be sure it's really where it is and what it is, and one cat who (bless him) liked to catch droplets from the shower for his water. INSANITY!
