As much as we spend time with funny cats, they still sometimes are a real mystery to us humans. To explain what life with these furry creatures is all about, Scott Metzger has been drawing animal cartoons since 1996. His single-panel images cut to the very core of owning a feline, and their humorous nature might just explain to you some of the 'cat logic' that seems impossible to understand and first.
Scott is a proud owner of adorable cats himself who often supplies him with drawing ideas. "My two cats are Hannah (13 years old) and Max (7 years old). Both are rescue cats," he told Bored Panda. "Hannah is part Siamese and part Calico. She's sweet and friendly, but she clearly prefers my wife and 10-year-old daughter. Max is a tuxedo cat, and he loves people - he loves everybody. He'll sit on any available lap."
The artist said that he's been creating these funny cartoons for 22 years mainly because he enjoys making people laugh. "It's a great feeling when a comic connects with people or if someone says they laughed out loud at a silly cat cartoon," he added. "A couple of weeks ago, a woman emailed saying that she battles depression, and my animal comics have made her laugh and feel better. That made my day."

Leave the pot, so that another full mug can be poured for knocking over.
Hah - my tiny mother's massive black cat used to lie on her vacuum and expect her to pull them both around the room.
We used to have a cat named Fleabag and he'd ride around the house on our canister vacuum. Always cracked me up!

No...barf on her face. That WILL wake her up and very quickly. #truestory
"Hello can you hear me? You have nine lives and if you don't get your butt home you will only have eight left".
they shouldn't but they will if you leave them out.

That monitor is dangerously placed if you have a cat in house!
Anyone who has had a cat, and a Christmas tree, knows that all low hanging ornaments are fair game.
I feel like I need that card in my life just in general!

Bob the Sphinx: Max, rub your b******e all over his face and then stick your nose in his eyes. If that doesnt work, go kill a mouse, drop it on his pillow, and sit on his chest until he wakes up.
Under the blanket and rip his toes to shreds! (Worked like a charm on me...)
I would love to go shopping inside a huge CATMART! Especially if its full of cats, and they will ignore you all the time.
The trick to getting good customer service in Catmart is wearing black.
This would be my cat, Alex. His favorite hobby is to roll on his back and air his junk out.
This is my Scooby. I just tell people, look for the apartment where the black and white Maine C**n is bathing his personal private cat part in the window.
They forgot "attack hooman's ankles every time they have their hands full". ;-)
Pretty sure it's a Mistletoe seeing is its Christmas season decorations in the store.

I suffer with insomnia and genuinely do this while writing emails. End up with ddddddddddddddddddddddd
The phone isn't off the hook with the wire all tangled. This is not a cat good at his job.
and it's 12.27 am and I've just been 'asked' to take puppy out by a none too gentle paw. I wasn't asleep or admittedly even trying but it's still horribly wet out there and I trod on a snail. Fantastic!

Purple is "Non-Stop Meowing" aka BE ANNOYING BUT LOVABLE OK 3..2...1 GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It's excellent!! Though The Scratching Post doesn't sound like a place that would have a grand piano!
Load More Replies...Is that cat at the far left table Tigger, Hobbes, or just a random cat?
I love that the same white cat drinking milk is here, after being at the piano scene.
And the brown stripped cat washing himself from the cat hall of Fame!!!

Why are houseplants jerks? Ha, ha! Surprised not to see 'more ways to annoy the dog'.
Phew! Though probably distracted by finding out about their family.
Load More Replies...Ok, the truth here... how many of you read these with the melody of the songs that they match?
My favourite so far. Go to hell... Though isn't he more likely to have shredded knees from the startled cat leaping from his lap?
"Gesundheit" is used like "bless you" in German too, literally it means health.
But that wouldn’t make it interesting would it?
Load More Replies...HONEY WHERE DID THE CAT GO! I don't know but there's this weird shape on the carpet
and eventually you write a book about your struggles
Load More Replies...Sometimes I feel I am living in a Cat-inception sort of world. Cats at home, Bored Panda Cats at office, cats in my neighborhood, cats on flights, cats on buses, cats on mars(its a song). Cats cats cats everywhere. I guess they have already owned me. You guys are next, invasion is near.
I'm starting to wonder if my cats are cats... they never push things off of anywhere, glasses etc included... :x
I personally do not adore cats or actually like them but these cat cartoons are really awesome
