1. You gain a whole new level of cuddling
The face nuzzling and leg rubs quickly turn into hugs and full on sprawls on your chest. Calmer than a dog and about the same amount of fur...
2. That's for about a second...
Cats are easily stimulated and some can become overstimulated without much cause.
3. Which is usually when the claws get pulled out...
Don't let the cute faces and soft fur lure you too close for too long, their sharp little claws will leave you looking like you enjoy hurting yourself.
4. Being killers is in their blood...
They are constantly looking for new ways to exploit your weaknesses.
5. They appoint themselves as your personal alarm clock...
Whether it be clawing at your toes or suffocating you with their bodies; after 6 hours of sleep it's their time to make sure you're still alive (mostly so you can feed them).
6. The cuteness can be overwhelming...
The cat will play cute for friends and visitors and regardless of a fair warning someone goes away upset.
7. They're great study buddies...
Fortunately their sleep cycle will have them passed out on your homework when you should be working but are on Twitter instead. Otherwise they'll be on your lap, the keyboard or knocking objects off elevated surfaces around your house.
8. Speaking of which..
They'll be constantly reminding you of the perils of leaving uncapped beverages around the house. Mostly just to tease you.
9. Your cat is more photogenic than you...
No matter how annoying your cat can be; you find yourself doing way more cat photoshoots than you would ever consider for yourself. Just one of the many reasons you're running out of space on your phone.
10. You will be reminded of values...
The value of a good box. While it may not seem like much, to a cat, it's cheap entertainment. In the hustle of life we often forget that it's the simple things which make us feel the safest and most at peace.
