30 Funny And Relatable Comics Showing What It's Like To Live With A Cat

If you are a cat owner, you probably know what a love-hate relationship it can be. One minute you’re stroking your pet’s belly, the next you’re rushing to the bathroom to get a bandaid because they decided to bite you. One artist even turned this complicated relationship into a series of funny comics called WeFlaps that every cat owner will relate to.

Cody Stone Stowe is a comic artist and owner of a mischevious cat named Coral. He picked up the little troublemaker back in 2016 and thought that a cat will be an ideal pet since they are low maintenance. Little did he know, it couldn’t have been further away from the truth. “Coral was the first cat we picked up to hold, she climbed on my back, scratched the hell outta me and from then on, she owned me,” joked Cody in an interview with Bored Panda.

Cody says he never knew cats had such sarcastic personalities. “They have so many looks that reflect human ones that I get quite the kick out of seeing on a cat. Slow glazed blink. Eye rolls. Side eye. There was so much there, and from that, so much to draw from,” says the artist.

The artist started his comics the same year he picked up Coral after a coworker commented that he was wasting his talent drawing on the whiteboard at work. He started the WeFlaps page on Facebook where he started sharing his comics and gained fifteen thousand likes over the summer. He launched a line of merchandise as a way to make money and eventually, it became the artist’s full-time job!

Cody is a fan of Matthew Inman and his The Oatmeal comics. He says he loves the humor and Matthew’s comics taught him that comics don’t have to be incredibly realistic or detailed. “My early comics reflect his style but later, I had moved on to more bold lines, a little more detail and color,” says the artist. “I was just getting bored with the white blob characters. I had tried many different styles in between but finally found a consistent style my audience and I enjoyed.”

In the future, Cody hopes to expand the WeFlaps brand to more than just cat comics. “Comics with me as the main character, maybe get into animation, Twitch streaming of sorts, and who knows what. Though I’ll still maintain the comics about Coral because she’s a limitless inspiration,” says the artist. “Even though I’ve had her for three years now, there are always new surprises every week from her and I look forward to many more years of surprises.”
