If you've been considering a career change, now's a great time to consider becoming a cat. That's because Lisa Swerling and Ralph Lazar, the creative artists behind Last Lemon, have created a simple and funny guide full of cute drawings for 'How To Be A Cat!'

The two calls these cat drawings the Internet's first “user-driven guide,” since they've been taking drawing ideas from their followers. The general gist of cat logic seems to be that you must strike a fine balance between apathy, neediness, and infuriating obstructiveness. If so, it would seem that my adorable cat is an expert.

Be sure to visit Swerling and Lazar's site, Last Lemon – they've got more funny drawings from this and other cool ongoing projects as well!

Especially if it's your spot in bed! Nighttime potty breaks - do so at the risk of losing your spot

    My cat Clairabell used to scratch on the door at around 3 am until I let her in. Once I let her in, she would lay on my chest and refuse to move . Let me tell you she's not a very light cat, I always had trouble falling asleep and tried to kick her off by she would always come right back. She also had a very loud motor so her purring also kept me awake.

    I've got FIVE cats & they ALL do it. One of them has trained me to feed her at her favourite window seat where she will then ask for the menu & then the wine list before deciding on a nice little Catarratto Chardonnay. On a sunny day she will refuse the table at the window & insist on eating her meal al fresco (on the wall...)

    Cats will do some silly things to get your attention. Always check the litter box, food and water bowls.

    There is a trick! Take an orange peel and mist the oil from it on and around the plant. Also, a natural citrus spray will work. You can leave the peel in the pot for added deterrence! Good luck!

    I heard a crash one morning, and went into the living room to find my tree on its side, a lot of the decorations smashed, and one very self satisfied cat sitting underneath the stricken tree with nary a glimmer of remorse.

    Mine prefer to "help" make up the bed by continually jumping up on it while I'm putting on the fitted sheet, top sheet, blanket, etc., then yowling like I'm beating them within an inch of their lives when I pick them up and put them in the floor. Of course as soon as I'm done with the bed, they are no longer interested in it or in me ...

    I know it's not probable that all domesticated house cats stay indoors and I also know that in rural areas they love being outside but I agree with Elena to an extent that in cities and densely populated areas cats should stay inside. My neighborhood just has so many cats wandering around outside whose owners don't bring them in EVER no matter if it's snowing raining or 10 below. I know not everyone is like that but personally if you live in a city I think your cat should be indoors or at least monitored while outside.

    I've never let any of my cats wander outside. Once they choose me (all my cats have been rescues - most as abandoned kittens), they are indoor cats for life. Not only is it much safer for them, and ensures they will live longer - but it also eliminates any chance that they will bring fleas, ticks or parasites into my home.
