My Wife Insisted Me To Put These Comics On The Internet – They’re About A Cat We Rescued A Few Months Ago
My name is Lucas Turnbloom and I am a cartoonist from Southern California. Most people know me from my Scholastic graphic novel series “Dream Jumper.”
In 2017, my wife and I rescued a sweet, yet rambunctious little cat. A few months later I started a webcomic loosely-based on her adventures called, “How to Cat.”
The comic was originally intended to be an inside joke for my wife and I, but she insisted that I put it on the internet and share it with the world. The strip seems to have found an audience on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter – which is incredible.
I’m so happy people have found joy in this silly little comic. I hope to continue it for years to come.

This is literally why every door stopper in the house I grew up in was removed. It was better than committing caticide, albeit a bit rough on our walls.

My cat plays with the drawer pulls on my dressers. I’m thinking about replacing them because I get up with him at a MINIMUM of 3 times a night. I love the little guy and he’s old and sick, so I will help him out, but some nights I’m like “Seymour! Let me sleep!!”

Our cat Sassy used to do this every night. When she wanted something, she used the drawer pulls to wake us, and yes, a few times a night. She'd lift one, let it drop, lift, drop, all the while watching us. Our very much loved BRAT!

Does this cat just have a bag disguised as his fur to store his guns?

That's an extreme response! I wonder if I should check why my husband accidentally set the kitchen alight!

I have a cat sized dog that does this - I'm beginning to wonder if she's just wearing a very good disguise!

My cat's an indoor-only cat and still manages to do this! Any door in the house that I decide to close turns into this. I end up just picking her up and carrying her to wherever I think she'd like to go next (her food, the bathroom she loves hanging out in for some reason, etc.) or just carrying her around till she's ready to wander off and leave the door alone (she likes to "be tall" so she can see everything placed at human eye-level around the house. What? Oh of course I don't spoil her.)

We got an insert with a flap to put in our slider during the day. I left it in a bit too long, and early one evening I found a raccoon and her babies eating the kitty kibble. Not sure who was more surprised!

Our dogs also do this, you let them out then they just do nothing then goes inside then a minute later they and to get out again then if you let them outside they will bark at you to let them in them a minute later they want to go outside again!

this is my Raven one of my black cats...He fits his name and I swear just goes in to check out the hours then scratches the door to go out. 15 minutes later he is outside wanting in. I counted 32 times one day that I stupidly went along with it...lol

My cats get shy if they see they are being watched when they clean. They actually stop and walk away, refuse to make eye contact and pretend that *nothing was happening*. Never heard of a shy cat until them (brother-sister team).

Of course not! You do get used to being watched... judged... and found wanting!

Instead of scritching I get loud meowing from both my cats if I am there longer than 2 minutes.

Not a chance. Especially when you are being stared at while on the commode. Cat: Hurry. Stand up! Me: Okay, okay! Cat: Push the handle thingy now!!! Me: Okay, let me pull up my pants! Cat: I said NOW! Me: Okay, tripping over pants. Cat: paws on toilet seat, Oh boy! Swirley water! Yay. Now look! Water back! Yay! Push handle thingy again!!!

My one cat loves the toilet. She could be sound asleep or nowhere in site but when that toilet flushes shes right there sitting on the seat sticking her paws in the bowl and batting at the water. & if i flush again she runs around the toilet looking for the water

I had no private time when my daughter started walking until she got to be 5 yrs old. Then we got 2 kittens and there went my private time again. Lol

Nothing worse than going into the bathroom and having our cat Buddy jump and sit on the lid. When I finally remove him, he does watch. Heaven forbid we walk in when he's in the litter box :)

The little cat inspiring these must be a gorgeous little thing and clearly good at teaching her humans.

When I get a new littler box down, the three actually tussle as to who's going in first!

My cats don't like dirty litter box. Even i clean it twice a day. They will wait until it really clean.

I call that baptizing the litter box, my cats compete over it. One doesn’t even wait for me to finish pouring the new litter!

Well, you wouldn't want to take a leak to an unflushed toilet either, would you?

In reference to second pic, I am sure many people would have noticed that cats walk right angles to us, unlike dogs which either lead us or follow us in parallel. That's why you would bump into cat more rather than dogs, or may be its just my cat.

I trip on my cat all the time but I also trip on my dog too (he's a little chihuahua pug mix). I think it's because they find it funny when I fall and even though they act like it's not on purpose they are possibly conspiring against me...I see the joy in their eyes while I'm on the ground trying not to cry cuz my toe hurts so much

We also have a giant Maine C**n - they like water. So when it's shower time we have to make sure Hoot isn't anywhere nearby.

There is NO way you can't love a cat! Even the mean, schitzo weird ones. They own you, not the other way around.

Cute thing happened yesterday. Me and my dad were walking home and our cat was outside our gate. When he saw us he started running up to us while doing a lot of mini meows. My dad ended up walking slightly ahead of me and our cat kept looking back to make sure I was coming

My cat runs ahead of me and stops to look back every few steps just in case I might be heading to the kitchen.
