My name is Lucas Turnbloom and I am a cartoonist from Southern California.

Last year, I went through the process of cat adoption. She’s a very sweet kitty cat, but she’s also a little, well... crazy. So, I decided to turn the funny cats' shenanigans into a webcomic called "How to Cat".

The funny comic was originally intended to be an inside joke for my wife and me, but she insisted that I put it on the internet and share the silly cat with the world. My first cute drawings were previously featured on Bored Panda.

People seem to enjoy the adventures of "Sweetie" the cute cat. I hope you do too!

Water from a pan that's been soaking in the sink for a few hours is also a gourmet drink.

Well, there are faint traces of human food in there; but still, I sometimes have the impression my cat only wants what she's not allowed (forbidden fruit and all that)

My brother-in-law's cat likes to drink out of the bathtub faucet. Only that one. When I (or anyone else) am/is upstairs and he walks to the bathroom, we all know it is time to turn the bathtub faucet on! Has to be a spout (is that the right word? Sorry, English is not my first language) as small as possible, otherwise he will not drink it. He's a silly but amazingly cute cat and likes to "talk" with me in front of the bedroom window (searching for birds) whenever we visit. He will only continue to "talk" when I talk back to him :-).

Either the freshest water from the tap or the dirtiest puddle in the driveway. Cat logic

My cats are super fascinated with the shower now... Until I start running water, they look at me with utter shock when I get under the shower and they don't come back until I finish :D

My cat used to drink out of my water glass on my nightstand as I slept. I'd wake up to kitty butt in my face. She kept drinking...

Pouring and running water in the wild is usually cleaner and healthier than alternative sources, hence cats, as well as dog, may prefer running tap and hoes water.

Yup, one of my cats loves water straight from the tap and will let me know multiple times a day when he wants it. I'm a good servant and turn it on for him every time and then till he is done to turn it off. I'm his favorite servant lol

My cat rarely drinks from her own bowl but loves drinking from the dogs bowl for some reason.

Cats in the wild don't like to drink water from where their food is, to avoid 'contaminated' water. This is the same for house cats, they still have instincts. Move your cat's water bowl to another places and watch it start using it.

When they ask to have it switched on is priceless. I bought mine a fountain. Nice compromise

Most of my cats have liked drinking from moving water. They'd have a bowl, but mostly they'd stand at the bathroom sink waiting until I noticed them waiting for me to turn on the faucet.

It’s FRESH water that comes from the tap. No matter if you just filled the bowl.

All 4 of mine go for the after-shower-water. Drops on the wall, the shower curtain, and especially the last drips in the tap.

For some reason cats do prefer to drink from running water. The folks I used to work for went on vacation and their cat messed around with the faucet in the basement until she turned on the water and flooded the entire basement...it cost almost 100,000 dollars to fix (their basement is bigger than most houses, because they are stinkin rich lol)...after that they got the cat one of those water bowls that pumps the water and recycles it back into the bowl. After that she stopped messing with the faucets.

Water from a cup which is full of paint is also a marvelous beverage. I can't ever paint without a cat trying to stick her head in them!

I promised myself to call my cats by name only, to make them answer to it.. Two weeks I lasted and gave up to Kittyieh, Fluffy, Muzzlezies, Foofoos and other type of absolutely rubbish sweetness xD

when i was 16 my cat brought one of the rabbits from my neighbour. i was mortified but quickly climbed over the fence, cleaned the dead rabbit from dirt and put it back in the enclosure. a few days later the neighbour told my mum how the craziest Thing happened..... one of the rabbits died of old age and she burried it..and a day later it was laying in the enclosure, completly cleaned. she now believes that she had some Kind of Jesus-rabbit.

We call it "prisoner transport" in my house. I have to remove the lid at the vet to get the patient out of it.

Mine does this too, or if I sleep on a side she sits on the curve of my waist and I wake up barely breathing and in pain because the "princess" considers me the most comfortable throne.

The more cherished, expensive or irreplaceable the item the more irresistible it is to the cat. I just can't have nice things.

Yes. Mine always has dry food in her bowl but always insists that I pet her or at least stand next to her while she eats, including every night sometimes at about 3am, and about 10 minutes later when I'm back in bed she wants me to let her out :/ (and later my aunt lets her back in and she climbs on my chest ... there are almost no entirely peaceful - or lonely - nights for me). And yes, she sometimes simply walks away from the food after asking for me to come, even if I give her fresh food and give in and pet her waiting for her to eat. She just sniffs the food and enjoys the pets and then walks away. She also doesn't like to be pet when eating wet food or anything else than dry food but still wants me to stand next to her. And sometimes after she asks for it and I give her fresh wet food she also just sniffs it and walks away, only not as often as with dry food. She's complicated and picky but I love her.

The Quality Inspector has verified that all squares are perforated and of a consistent size and correct quantity according to manufacturing parameters. This is especially true when guests are arriving soon.

I get spite hairballs for things I did a couple of years ago, or six months ago, or however long ago. Cats have long memories when it comes to imaginary offenses.

This one reminds me of a short news I saw on TV not so long ago. There was a fire at someone's home. The cause? Turns out, while home alone, the cat managed to turn on the microwave and set the place on fire.
