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!

When you’re done upvoting and enjoying Lucas’ newest comics, check out his previous posts on Bored Panda right here, as well as here. Happy scrolling!

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.

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!)

My cats use the scratching posts regularly. But, that doesn't stop them from scaling and shredding the extra mattress in the spare closet.

Helium doesn't ignore the pull of the large mass we call Earth. It just gets pushed up more than gravity pulls on it, because larger molecules are being pulled down harder. Cats however...

Rex, our mighty hunter would give it all up for a chance to chase the falling leaves. Until his widdle paws get too cold, then he remembers he's a spoiled indoor boi.

The first caption is wrong. My cat comes home to vomit, and goes back ouside again directly after he's finished.

My calico does this to me every night. It's like getting a chest massage because she is very considerate about not digging her claws into me.

Every cat is different. Mine love their cat trees. This is pretty funny, though.

You can count on the cat to sit on you when you're down and out.

Our cat Taques does this and usually gets away with it. The building where I live only has six apartments, so we all know each other. Each apartment has a storage room on the top floor of the building, where there's also a large terrace. Guess where my cat scurries off to if we're too late putting our foot in his way?

I honestly think a cat is a perfect pet for me. I mean, I’m nocturnal, so is a cat.

My cat literally just sticks his head under the dust ruffle and flops down. Like we can't see all the rest of his fat self. 😆

Our cat did this exact same thing when we gave her a new collar. :)

I think it was a joke, fellow pandas... ?! It amazes me how sometimes people are so on board with the jokes and sometimes everyone’s just like .NO. 🤷‍♀️

We fixed this problem by buying an electric water fountain. One of our cats was obsessed with dunking his favorite toys in the water bowl and then tipping it over. It all stopped with the fountain.
