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!

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...
Like I tell my husband.. Wouldn't you rather use a freshly flushed toilet or one all of your brothers went in and left?
My cat won’t even wait until than. She literally goes in while I am cleaning it and marks her territory. She wants it clean but not clean enough there is no evidence of her.
My cat Spots is notorious for this. He will either appear out of nowhere, or have the guts to watch me clean it. Then walks right past me to use it, like he owns me. & I feel owned everytime!
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!)

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.
We have a 7 or 8 month old quarantine kitty at home. She fell in the bath last night while trying to be an acrobat. Absolute funniest thing I have ever seen. Also, toilet zoomies and 3am zoomies are definitely a thing.
So glad my kitty doesn't have 3am zoomies. We always play before bed time, including some zoomies, then we sleep until my alarm goes of. But maybe she imitates the dog? Who sleeps like a stone :-D
