There are many qualities a friend can possess, but there are only one or maybe two that qualify as your best friend. That person, or in my case animal, that is there through thick and thin and loves you no matter how many stupid things you do. If my feline friends weren't here, I don't know what I would do without them. Here are some things your cat does better than your "friend" Ashley.
1. They are the first you make plans with.

And the best part is, your cats don't care what you look like or what you wear.
2. You have more pictures on your phone of them than anyone else.

not just one...

or two... but 2000 or so.
3. You take naps together.

4. They're the first person you go to when you have good news.

Good test grade, job promotion, no matter the occasion, it's a celebration with you and Mr. Kitty!
5. They're your date to the dance.

Well, you wish you could take them to the dance, so instead, you just take really cute pictures with them before hand.
6. They let you cry on their shoulder and wipe your tears away.

7. They cheer you up when your down.

8. Your cat showers with you.
If my cat isn't in the shower with me, she waits on the toilet and waits for me to get out.
9. She helps you with homework.

or maybe just lays on it but she thinks she's helping at least.
10. You have a routine together.

Wake up, eat, nap, eat again, nap.
11. You talk to your cat. A lot.

I talk to my cat so much it seems almost unhealthy, but if you don't talk to your cat there is something wrong with you.
