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!

Our cat did just that, leaving no evidence whatever. She was only discovered when my mother decided to check the case for something she'd mislaid.
But when you open the doors of the fridge they are hearing from a km distance and come running XD
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...)
Also some potted plantsXD poor, unlucky plants... there is a system, one day I will discover it...
Preen on a fence when a lot of people is going next to it and look smug when they are oohing and aahing XD
Also at 2am try to fit or sit in a plastic bag, they wont mind the nosie!
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 ...
My littlest one bringed once a mole half her weight - it was only unconcious luckily and we put it in the garden. Markizka was stunned and then sooo offendedXD!!! She went after the mole again, but it was already gone and I could swear that she was poutingXD!!!
Or just sit on it, if possible, or get between human and book. Nothing is more important than looking at you!
My cat flap just goes into the closed garage. They go out there and hunt mice.
With the paw also. Then lick your paw to taste. Then again with your paw. Your human will appreciate your dedication.
My cat is just the opposite I can be gone 5 minutes and walk in the door being greeted by hin like I was gone all day.
Once I ate tuna in front of my cats. They were infuriated and said I was the worst person
My toddler used to tell this story about the "ghost" in his bedroom. It would come out at night to cuddle him. Then I discovered the white cat was hiding in his room until he fell asleep and going to lie down with him.
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.
Very recognizable, my girlfriends 2 catladies did this several times, first with Whiskas, then with Royal Canin, cost me a small fortune 🙄. Hopefully they like Gourmet for the rest of their lives 😄.
Somehow the most important part is not here: Move as your human moves, just right before their feet, half a step ahead.
Indeed, my cat had me tripped few times and looks annoyingly satisfied everytime she did it. -.-'
Load More Replies...LOL! My little dog has been secretly taking lessons from this cat!!
Love these! Makes me want to leave work and go slave around my cat! Human pet is missing you , kitty! :P
I've never had a pet but after reading all of this, I want to get one that behaves exactly like this :)
Oh no! if you get one you will be a forever slave! I warn you...haha
Load More Replies...One of my cats would fixedly stare at a point on the wall or ceiling. Eventually I would go look. Nothing. When I looked back at her, she was doing something else. Obviously a cat trick but I always fell for it.
My youngest gets bored around 4 AM and gets right up to my ear and then meows, I swear he's laughing as he watches my reaction!
Lie on either side of your human trying to work while sitting on the sofa , so it's easy to reach out with a paw with just the right amount of exposed claw to make sure they get your attention.
All totally true. Adorable drawings. All these contributors are clearly Cat Staff, as are Ray and I. And lovin' it. :)
Nellie Bentwhisker's ghost story: Living in rural France, at night, she would suddenly stare fixedly at one point in the roof until we were totally spooked. Then, yawn, sleep.
And I thought I was the only one with insane cats that hate me... It appears that, once again, "Its not about me.".
