We all have a little bit of cat lady in us. Some of us like to express it, others like to pretend you hate cats, but when no one is looking you pet a cat and get the little twinge of pure happiness that comes with a little feline loving. The constant joke about cat ladies is that we are all alone in this world. We will one day be knitting on a fur-coated couch with no husband or children. I'm here to tell you that we aren’t alone at all and that sweater you’ve been working on for a week will look purr-fect on the newest addition to your always-growing family of cats. I have no shame in admitting that my cat is a better companion then most humans, specifically of the male variety. Here are six solid reasons why your cat is your soulmate.
1. They are easy to take care of.
All you need to do is feed them and make sure they have a box to poop in. Humans require a full course meal, complete with dessert, 3 times a day and toilet paper. No one has time for that.
2. They demand your attention and you actually want to give it to them.
When humans want attention and they demand it they are needy, clingy and annoying. No one likes a needy, clingy or annoying human, but if you're a cat, it's fine
3. They are cute and stay cute.
Have you ever seen an ugly cat? (Hairless not included) I haven't. With humans, you have to factor in the personality and let’s face it, some people are just not all that great. Imagine a little old lady with a purse full of hard candies, now imagine an old, fat, lazy cat; way cuter right?
4. They give the best cuddles.
After a long day, it feels wonderful to lie in bed and know that your cat will be there soon after, either to lie right next to you or directly on top of you. It is probably one of the most rewarding feelings in the world, forget childbirth.
5. Cats are great listeners.
Does your cat talk back to you? Does he interrupt you to tell you he’s already heard that story more than once? He or she may ‘meow’ at you, but honestly that can mean anything. Personally, I just assume that they are agreeing with me and telling me how stupid that guy who stood me up was. I can’t remember the last time I had a boyfriend who agreed with me on anything or showed up for that matter. Cats for the win again.
6. They live a wonderful life.
Let your inner cat lady out. If you are still in that dark closet full of confusion and cat hate, I hope you come to your senses soon. Just remember, you are never alone when you have a cat. You will always have that one little ball of fur that will depend on you for food, listen to you complain about all your irrelevant human issues, and love you. Now, shut your computer give your cat the attention they deserve, because he or she is your soulmate after all.
