My cat brings a lot of emotion and, uh, variables to my life. Most of them good. My cat Kiki makes me laugh, cry and burn with anger. All in the same day. She can be a roller coaster of emotion and actions that undeniably bring a certain amount of chaos in my life. Chaos is often seen as something bad, but chaos makes things interesting. It keeps my life fresh and new. Without my cat here to spice things up every now and again, I may just as well die of boredom. Although she brings many things to my life, Kiki has five special spots in my heart that make me lovingly hate her.

1. She cutely destroys my possessions

Kiki has a knack for nonchalantly laying near my papers or notebooks, slyly looking at me from the corner of her eye. She sniffs the notebook for awhile. When she thinks I'm not paying attention, Kiki takes a big ol' chomp on the corner. Of course, when I turn and look at her angrily, she sprints off the desk scattering papers everywhere.

2. She waits at the door for me

While it may seem extremely cute initially, she tries to dart past me into the hallway of my apartment complex. It ends up with me chasing her down and dragging a mewling cat back into where she's supposed to be. She makes it all the way to the first floor sometimes. I live on the third floor. It's embarrassing and frustrating even when I have arms full of groceries, but the cute noises Kiki makes after I scoop her up makes it slightly worth it.

3. Helps me procrastinate

Whether or not I need to, Kiki helps me put off any and everything. My cat especially loves being chased around. Sometimes I find myself running around the apartment like a 4-year-old, and then realize I'm extremely out of shape. But, I'd rather be playing with Kiki in the long run.

4. Always ready for relaxation

The moment I plop down on the couch or bed, my cat is right there to cuddle up next to me. It makes it extremely hard to do anything else. I mean, that paper isn't going to write itself, but maybe another episode on Netflix will make it happen.

5. Has not heard of the "three belly rubs" rule

Most cats are infamous for only letting you rub their belly three times maximum. Kiki tends to have a zero rub maximum. She will display her belly, looking all cute rolled over on her back. However, the moment you reach in to rub that furry stomach, you get claws and teeth instead. Or she just runs away and thinks it's time to play chase.
