Personally, I know I have a problem. OCD: Obsessive Cat Disorder. Whether it is cuddling up to your feline friend or trying to establish a relationship where you wear the pants, not them, cats have a wonderful way of snuggling their way into our hearts. Some people (ahem, dog people), do not understand why we as cat people obsess over our little companions. So, here is a list of why we obsess over our little fur babies (because I do what I want, that's why).
1. They are adorable.
They are furry and they are just so lazy. Whether they are fat or small, they can steal your heart in a minute without you even realizing it. And that combination makes them just plain adorable.
2. They are great at snuggling.
Because they are so lazy, they sleep a lot. Which is great because they love to cuddle up next to you after a long day at work or while you are trying to fall asleep. Plus, their main goal is to keep you warm even if they are so small.
3. They go through everything with us for years.
Whether it is happy times or sad times, events or memories, cats are there. Cats can usually pick up on how you are feeling and know how to handle you as their owner. This makes them perfect in every way. Cats know when you are sad and can comfort you. They know when you are too cheery, and they will annoy you. Either way, you love every second of it because in the end your cat loves you just as much as you love them.
4. They are so amused by the simplest things (i.e. string and boxes)
Cats will be amused with anything. You could buy a whole thing of toys, and the cat would still choose the bag that the toys came in. You could put their toys in a box, and they will take their toys out of the box just to play with said box. They will find anyway to get a piece of string to play with from clothing, bags, crafts, and anything they can get their paws on. But hey, cats just wanna have fun!
5. They are incredibly fun to face swap with.
This is my fur niece. She loves taking pictures ... well, sort of.
6. There is an entire musical dedicated to cats
It teaches how the pyramid of feline hierarchy works. And on top of that, there are some pretty fierce dance numbers in it as well.
7. They are so dang photogenic
Whether it is beauty or it is hilarious, cats take awesome pictures.
8. They are seriously just so fun to chill with.
I mean, putting things on their head while they just sit there is considered entertainment, right?
9. Cats are incredibly intelligent!
Cats seriously know certain words. They know times and schedules and how to follow them without being trained. Talk about impressive!
So, whether you have a cat or don't, at some point you may find yourself suffering from OCD: Obsessive Cat Disorder. It is a common ailment, so don't fret! I'm positive that after a snuggle or two, you will be more than OK with it!
