- First and foremost, you own a cat.
Or two. Or six. Okay so what if you own six, it’s fine. They’re healthy, happy and you love them! Yeah it’s a lot of cat food and cat litter, but when they curl up next to you it makes it all okay.
- You own cat paraphernalia and it’s EVERYWHERE. Mugs, socks, shirts, ceramic figurines, wooden figurines, magnets, stickers, vintage perfume bottles shaped like cats, pictures, necklaces, shoes, blankets, posters.
- Your friends send you cat related memes, comics, and pictures online.
You’re always being tagged and mentioned in funny cat pictures or gifs on social media. They always make your day.
- Your cat is always on display.
Your cat is your background on your phone, your desktop display and there’s at least three printed photos of him hanging in your room.
- After the weekend or a long break, people ask how your cat has been.
Seriously, everyone in your life, no matter how significant or insignificant knows who your cat is. It's almost like having a child, except not. You talk about him all the time to the point where once you come back to class on Monday your teachers ask how spending time with your cat was. Well it was purrfect of course.
- You carry a lint roller around with you everywhere.
In have extra ones stashed around the house, in your purse, your car, your book bag, because you can never escape their hairy love.
- Your profile pictures have been with, or of your cat.
No shame, you guys look good together.
- All your pictures on your camera-roll are of your cat.
You can’t scroll through your photos without every other picture being of your cat. Seriously, over half of your phone’s photos are of your cat. You’re to the point where 3 GB of your memory are taken up by cat pictures, but you can’t get yourself to erase any of them. Oh well. So worth it.
- When you leave your house you miss your cat two seconds later.
Even if you’ll be back in a few hours it’s always hard saying bye to your kitty. It must be done with kisses and forceful cuddles. You spend the majority of time away from you cat, scrolling through those photos on your phone of your cat.
- You spend a lot of your money on gifts for your cat.
If you’re lucky enough to have a cat willing to dress up in a Santa sweater, tag along on a leash, or to even just keep his damn collar on, you’ve probably spend some dough dressing them up. Did you know they even sell matching bracelet and collar set for you and your kitty? Seriously look it up it’s the cutest.
Cats, kittens, kitties, four-legged jerks, whatever you want to call them, have a special place in your heart. Whether you are a first-time owner, or an experienced professional with raising a cat, each moment you spend with them is worth it. Even if they would rather sleep in a cardboard box than that expensive cushioned bed you bought them.
