hey,

so I was wondering is there a general way to answer a question that is asked using 'как' ?

the question I have is:
как жил кот перед тем как он поехал в дядей фёдором в деревню?

I always get confused when I answer questions using как,
I want to say:
Кот перед жил как плохо

But Im not sure if как needs to be in there... would I just omit it or replace it with так?

thanks everyone once again!
