Ah, the dreaded phrase--crazy cat lady. The phrase makes us cringe, as we picture an elderly woman surrounded by 20 cats. "Jeez, I hope my life doesn't end up like that". As much as we hate the stereotype, it is pretty fitting. So what if we love our little companions? As crazy as they may be, we love them all the same. Here are 19 things that all cat people know to be true.

1. The majority of pictures you take are of your cat.

2. 2 a.m. is prime play time--whether you're awake or not.

3. Carrying a lint roller at all times is a must.

4. There are no boundaries--you are followed everywhere, whether you want to be or not.

5. You would rather spend a Friday night in with your cat than out partying.

6. When asked what you love the most, you hesitate before answering "my cat" to seem less crazy.
