We hear enough about dog people on the Internet. It's time cats had their fair chance.
So how do you know you're a cat person?
1. You aren't afraid of bumps in the night.
Seriously, your cat is up most of the night, so when they get into something, it doesn't bother you. If it even wakes you up. The next thing that happens is you pat the bed and then roll back over because obviously Muffin isn't in bed with you anymore.
2. Things attacking your feet is normal.
Your cat is an expert at catching your restless toes as you try to sleep. Ivy's little needle-like teeth bite through even the thickets of comforters and you're used to it by now. So used to it, you make a game out of it.
3. You're only slightly disgusted when you step in a hair ball.
Look, it could be worse. It could be vomit. Vomit's the number one thing you don't want to step on. If you've gotten really good at being a cat person, then sometimes you can catch your cat mid-hack and slide a paper towel underneath their mouths as the disgusting hairball decides to say hello.
4. You don't love the little presents they bring you.
Yes, it's nice that they think you can't take care of yourself, but good lord that is the third vole this week. Jack sees you eat every day, and even steals your food so why is it so hard to understand that WE DON'T EAT VOLE?
5. You love cat hair on your clothing.
It reminds you that you have someone waiting for you at home. A sassy animal, but someone nonetheless. It can get annoying to clean up but it just means that Fluffy wants other cats to know that you are hers, and no one else's.
6. You talk to your cat.
Look, sometimes the best conversation is Sam. Sam doesn't talk back much, he's pretty intelligent and agrees a lot with you. They always will answer too. You speak a little cat, they speak a little English. It's the best talk you'll have all day.
7. You know they play just as enthusiastically as dogs.
Part of Tiger's daily schedule should be a section called play. While it simulates hunting, it's still fun to watch them chase the red laser and find that feather so fast it's not even funny. The faces and noises they make are hysterical. Take a video, and send it to all your friends.
These are only some reasons as to how you know you're a cat person, and it's all about how owning a cat turns you into a cat person. So now you can turn to your cat and have a discussion about this article. Have fun!
