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 :-).

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 rescued a 7-month-old kitty from my friend's farm and took him directly to the vet to make sure no diseases that he could give to our other cats. If anyone remembers the cartoon of the Tasmanian Devil nailed into a crate, that was the precise experience!! I have never seen a cat carrier bounce like it had a rabid honey badger on meth in it!!! I was pretty sure the leather and canvas carrier was close to shredded, so we ran into the vet's and threw him at a staff so they could deal with him!!! Sweetest baby in the world, otherwise, and I'm glad we took him home :)

    Always check where the cat (or another pet) is right after coming in and be aware where they are when walking around. I learned that the hard way.

    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.
