Comic Artist Illustrates What It's Really Like Living With Cats
Some cats act like tiny roommates, others act like they own the place, and this comic series leans hard into the second category.
Russian comic artist Lingvistov has built a following by turning everyday cat behavior into jokes that feel painfully familiar to anyone who has lived with a feline. From demanding attention to claiming the best seat in the house, the comics capture the strange little power dynamic that comes with cat ownership.
If your cat has ever treated you like staff, these illustrations will probably hit close to home.

No matter what it is, though, cats always have a way of wrapping us around their little paws. They own you, not the other way around.
Do you have unique things that your cat does?
